GMP Services Inc Announces GMP Content Management System 2.0

 

Content management without the complication or frustration

 

Statesboro GA - September 5, 2007 - Today GMP Services Inc announced

immediate availability of GMP Content Management System 2.0, enabling

businesses to better manage their websites. GMP CMS 2.0 is an ASP.net 2.0

web application with a Microsoft SQL Server backend that empowers users with

effortless and simplistic website management.

 

OVERVIEW OF GMP CMS 2.0 FEATURES

 

Easy Setup

GMP CMS 2.0 has a simple 3 step process: upload the files, add your database

connection and license key to the web.config and run a single script.

 

100% Browser Based Management

Once GMP CMS 2.0 has been set up you can create your website, upload media,

upload images, etc. via web browser. You can even edit the website style

(CSS) in the administrative area via web browser. GMP CMS 2.0 is

cross-browser compliant, the system works the same with Firefox, Internet

Explorer, Safari or any gecko based browser engine on Linux, Macintosh,

Windows and UNIX. You aren't limited by the web browser you use to access

GMP Content Management System 2.0.

 

Search Engine Optimization Built-in

GMP CMS 2.0 has many search engine friendly features such as a new type of

URL writing that doesn't really on ASP.net http-rewrite or other server side

technologies. You will never have a broken link to a page if you edit a page

name, the old and new URL will both be valid (no more lost pages or broken

links!). Each page allows you to add a page (tab) name, meta title, meta

description and meta keywords. Each item created in the News & Article

manager allows you to also specify an item title, short description a meta

description and meta keywords. There are many 'under the hood' search engine

optimization techniques that will boost your site very high in the search

engines. See also the notes section of this manual regarding the Automatic

XML Sitemap output (SEO)

 

Web 2.0 Enabled

GMP CMS 2.0 has several social networking (web 2.0) features such as a

social bookmark toolbar on HTML modules, News & Article items and Simple

Blog items. GMP CMS 2.0 has also has a Simple Blog with comments, a 'print

this' and a 'email this" functionality built-in.

 

 

 

Instant Search Results

GMP CMS 2.0 has a built-in search indexer that automatically indexes content

added (or updated content) in the HTML, News & Articles and Simple Blog

modules. As soon as the content is added or updated visitors can search for

and find the new content via the search module.

Security

GMP CMS 2.0 by default is secure. We have leveraged the inherited security

methods in ASP.net 2.0 as well as secured content via security roles (user

groups) as well as included a filtering system called BadBot.

 

Pages and modules can be secured so that only the group that has access to

view can see the content. You can mix and match security of modules so that

a logged in user would see additional content on a page that a non-logged in

user would see. You can secure entire pages and only allow a certain group

or groups to access the content and information on that page. User roles can

be assigned several roles: View/Browse, Edit and Administrator. You can

create unlimited security (user) roles.

 

User's passwords are encrypted to prevent theft. The system is also set to

lock a user out for 20 minutes if they attempt more than 5 incorrect login

attempts. User can retrieve a new password (auto generated password) via

email using the lost password feature on the login panel. User will still

have to wait 20 minutes before logging in with new password.

 

By default CMS 2.0 prevents SQL Script injection. If a script is pasted into

one of the content modules it is automatically removed when the module is

updated.

 

The BadBot filter will redirect incoming visitors based on the User Agent,

IP address (or IP range), Machine Name, Host name, and even referrer.

Partial and Full IP address can be entered. It is similar to 'anti-leech'

scripts available on the Internet. By default the BadBot filter redirects

users to localhost (sends them back to their own machine) you can also

redirect them anywhere you want (other websites for example). Over 500

BadBot entries are included in CMS 2.0. The BadBot filter is a great way to

stop bandwidth theft, stop image search spiders, stop form spammers, stop

download accelerators, stop hot-linking to images and more.

 

Extensibility

While the retail edition of GMP CMS 2.0 allows an end-user to customize the

look and feel of the application the developer edition allows further

extensibility by allowing the end-user to extend the application through

programming changes in the source code and compiling the changes. Any

developer with a good knowledge of ASP.net and Visual Basic .Net can make

programming changes to the application.

 

Speed

GMP CMS 2.0 is a compiled ASP.net 2.0 application that utilizes SQL server

to store the systems data. We have worked very hard to streamline the code

to execute as fast as possible. There are quite a few under the hood

performance builders as well such as module caching (in memory), file

caching (render page to file) and more.
