Microsites

The Microsites product is a small content management system (CMS) that can extend your CMS to the component level, or serve as the core CMS for your small organization’s or distinct community’s website. Users appreciate that the Microsites product offers enough flexibility to create a site that fits your actual content needs, but simple enough that any member can easily use it without extensive training or technical knowledge.

A subscription to the product allows users to choose a look and feel from available templates, select which Connected Community products to use, modify navigation and create dynamic content layouts using user controls within the .net master page. Organizations protect their brand through offering component sites without having to take on heavy maintenance and oversight responsibilities, while at the same time, empowering volunteer leaders to fully self-manage their own group communications. With the ability to create as many websites as you need, Microsites gives organizations the flexibility to quickly put up and tear down new websites for special events, initiatives, and programs.
