Now You Can Easily Manage Your
Web Content!
Electos is a powerful Content Management
System. The Electos Studio offers unmatched ease of use without
compromising the full capabilities of the web. Maintain existing - or
create new pages as easily as you use MS-Word. The Electos Publisher is
a maintenance-free engine that takes care of navigation, scheduling
publication as planned in the Studio, keep an extremely fast
search-engine up to date and much more. Electos is developed with the
Visual DataFlex Studio. A mature database application framework for
Windows and Web applications. Add any custom-functionality to Electos
(Developer Edition).
Plus, Electos now offers ready-to-use
professional website
design templates that easily integrate with your Electos
deployment. Add a new design, or update an existing design quickly and
easily at a fraction of the cost of designing a custom website!
Manage your own website!
After the excitement of having your website designed is over, you
then have to face the repetitious work of changing text, publishing pictures and
product information - maintaining your website.
Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to rely on the availability of
your web designer to make these changes to the content? Instead,
authorize your assistant, or even better: change things yourself,
quickly and easily over the internet from anywhere?
You can - with Electos!
Edit your own text, it is as simple as typing a letter in your favourite
word-processor. And what's so good about it, you can do this from any
place in the world, as long as you have access to the Internet, and
Internet Explorer to login.

 |
Edit your own text, as simply as typing a letter in your
favourite
word-processor...
|
 |
Add pictures, create links to external
URL's, or to other pages in your site.
|
 |
Both Menus and pages are created dynamically. The time-line engine
supports Activation, De-Activation or scheduling (from date to date) of
each item.
|
In Electos there is no limit to the number of web pages, levels of depth
in site structure, number of authors for a site. There is no limit to
the location from where you maintain the site, and there is no limit to
those viewing the site!
If access is so easy, is this safe?
Electos allows you to allocate password controlled log-ins to your
content authors. Based on these, your web site contributors will be able
to carry out only those tasks appropriate to their role. These include
permissions for creating pages, deleting pages, uploading images and
files, etc.

You can safely extend the task of contributing to your web site to any
number of appropriate persons, who will not need to be skilled in HTML
techniques. Uploading the images and downloadable files that go with the
content is integrated into Electos, with no need to manage a separate
upload process, or compromise your web server security by allowing
TCP/IP file transfer.

Electos Editions
General
Electos comes in three different editions, Standard (free) Professional
(AUD$1,100) and Developer (additional AUD$2,200).
Electos needs a
Web Application Server (WAS) for deployment. It can be
deployed on a WAS Lite Server, however, due to the limited nature of the
Lite Server, this is not recommended for use on a live website.
Electos Standard Edition
 |
The Electos Standard Edition supports the deployment of only one (1)
website per web-server.
|
 |
The Electos Standard Edition comes with the Visual DataFlex Studio and
with both the WAS Lite and Internet versions of the Web Application
Servers.
|
 |
Deployment of the Standard Edition on any server is without charge, so
long as it runs on a registered Web Application Server, either a Lite
Server, or an Internet Server.
|
Electos Professional Edition
 |
At this time, the functionality is similar, but in future the
Professional Edition will offer extra functionality compared to the
Standard Edition.
|
 |
The Professional Edition is licensed per installed web server.
|
 |
A registered WAS Lite Server, or WAS Internet server needs to be
installed on the web server.
|
 |
The Electos Professional Edition supports running multiple websites so
long as they are all on the same web server. There is no limitation as
to the number of websites run on the Professional Edition on that one
server.
|
 |
The Electos Professional Edition license allows for acting as an ASP
(Application Server Provider) in
hosting Content Managed Web Sites.
|
Electos Developer Edition
 |
The Electos Development Edition is based on the Professional Edition. As
this is targeted at software developers who wish to build
custom-versions of Electos, the Developer Edition provides full source
code.
|
 |
A special
source-code license agreement needs to be signed, prior to
purchasing the Developer Edition.
|
 |
The developer needs to have their own registered license of a
Professional Edition and, of course, the developer needs a Visual
DataFlex Studio, to develop a custom version of Electos.
|
 |
A registered WAS Lite Server, or WAS Internet server needs to be
installed on the web server.
|
 |
For the distribution of custom-built versions of Electos, the same
policies and prices apply as with the Professional Edition. |
