Manage and update your organization's website all by yourself. No technical expertise needed -- just you, an Internet connection and your web browser.
ACON is offering a new, easy-to-use web design and hosting service for nonprofit and community-based organizations. With our service (powered by Manila from Userland Software), anyone can manage and update their own website using just a web browser and an Internet connection. This system also dramatically reduces consulting and design work and costs so your organization can get up on the web quickly, while allowing your web designer maximum flexibility.
If you already have a website designed, we can work with you to retain your existing design for this service, helping you preserve your investment. If you're starting from scratch, we can design and implement something suitable for your organization at a very affordable price for nonprofit organizations. The design costs are much smaller because we're dealing with a template-driven system.
Let me see how it works!
Here's a demonstration of our browser-based website management system, Manila. The demo runs in Internet Explorer and you need JavaScript turned on. Contact Us if you have difficulty viewing this demo.
