<h2>Wix To Fill The Void, Empower Businesses</h2>
<a href="http://www.wix.com/" target="_blank"><img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/wix_com.png" alt="Wix" /></a>
This news comes as Microsoft pulls the plug on its “Public Website” feature on SharePoint Online. The feature is no longer being offered to new Office 365 customers, while existing customers may only have access to it for the next two-years.
This Wix integration then, will fill the website building void being left within the Microsoft platform.
Avishai Abrahami, the Co-Founder and CEO of Wix, made these comments:
<blockquote>“Both Microsoft and Wix share the common vision of enabling small and medium-sized businesses to access and utilize cloud technology to operate all aspects of their business. Wix simplifies the website and mobile site creation and management processes, all critical for any business today, by providing enterprise class functionality to every business, no matter how small. Through Office 365, we are excited to provide even more business owners with an easy and affordable platform on which to create, manage and grow their business online.”</blockquote>
According to Eric Mason, the Wix Director of Strategic Marketing Communications, Office 365 users will have access to Wix “immediately”.

Microsoft Office 365 Subscribers Now Have Wix Website Building Power

If you haven’t already noticed, video and the Internet go together pretty darn well.
From video-based social media to on-demand movies, video content is everywhere, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. Businesses large and small are making use of video to demonstrate their products, provide information, and above all, win custom.
Launched in 2013 out of Rockville, Maryland, <a href="http://www.uscreen.tv/" target="_blank">Uscreen</a> is a platform built to sell video content, allowing visitors to either download or stream the good stuff from any device. Vendors using Uscreen can set their content to be sold or rented, and can also run a video subscription service.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/sshot-1700x0.jpg" alt="Uscreen" />
Impressively, Uscreen already boasts of delivering over 10,000 videos per month, despite being less than two years old as a standalone platform.
<h2>A Flexible Video Storefront</h2>
Speaking of videos, here's a quick video demonstrating some of Uscreen's key features.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzcX2qFNvKc
Essentially, Uscreen enables you to create a digital storefront, similar to that of most other eCommerce websites. Visitors can then browse through your visual collection before deciding on how they wish to pay for, and eventually view the content.
Here's an additional breakdown of Uscreen's features:
<ul>
<li>Uscreen gives you a fully customizable storefront to post and sell videos to your customers. The platform also handles all transactions &amp; eCommerce duties.</li>
<li>Viewers can stream videos on any device including phones, tablets, TV’s &amp; Apple Airplay. They can do so at anytime, anywhere. Plus, they can even download them, if you allow them to.</li>
<li>Viewers can Buy, Rent, or Subscribe to any of your videos, you set the price and manage your subscriptions via your Uscreen publisher admin area.</li>
<li>All videos are protected with a proprietary DRM &amp; encryption, giving you optimum security across the board.</li>
<li>Dedicated iOS &amp; Android apps make the viewing expereince more enjoyable, and videos more accessible.</li>
</ul>
Furthermore, when viewers access your streamed video content, Uscreen gives you the ability to; offer different content chapter and episode markers, link to PDFs and other webpages, and more — all within the same window. Thus, the potential for what Uscreen could be used for, is intruiging.
One of the standout business models which crossed my mind when exploring Uscreen, was online training and education, although the possibilities are endless. 
<h2>Providing The Video Dimension</h2>
Remember when having a blog was the latest “new dimension” for online businesses?
Well, now that blogs are pretty much necessities, the newest dimension on the block is video content. It’s easy to interact with, highly effective at conveying messages, and it’s an excellent opportunity for brands to show yet more personality.
Uscreen is giving brands that outlet in a manageable way.
The pricing structure, which starts from $49.95 per month plus a 15% revenue share, doesn’t freeze out startups or small businesses. Rather, it’s a professional video selling and streaming service for the masses. Now that's an exciting prospect.

Uscreen: Sell Videos, Simply

Squarespace had perhaps one of the most unusual ads during this year's Super Bowl. Featuring Jeff Bridges, the ad focused on Mr. Bridges saying “OM” while sitting beside a sleeping couple, watching them sleep.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/3041798-inline-i-1-jeff-bridges-om-ad-super-bowl.jpg" />
While it is admirable that they are attempting to help promote and support Mr. Bridges endeavor to sell his album of relaxing sounds and vocalisms to support charity, the video ends up coming across as not only baffling as an advertisement but also creepy (at least to this guy).
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BKIlfLReHyo?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I personally see it as a hugely expensive waste of advertising dollars. Not only that, but if anything, I see it as driving people away from the product, not towards. Perhaps I'm wrong.
What do you think? Does this make you want to <a href="https://www.squarespace.com">Sign up for Squarespace</a>?

SDL Rolls Out Customer Experience Cloud Enhancements

<a href="https://wpengine.com/" target="_blank"> WP Engine</a>, a leading SaaS content management platform for websites and applications built on WordPress, has launched a brand new GeoIP feature, built to empower WordPress website marketers.
WP Engine provides hosting, backup, and technical support services for WordPress websites and apps. It caters to everybody, from bloggers to enterprising companies.
Delivering personalized content on a regional basis is becoming increasingly important. WordPress marketers will be particularly excited though, as this new prospect, titled <a href="https://wpengine.com/blog/wp-engine-geoip-plugin-now-available-wordpress-org-repository/" target="_blank">WP Engine GeoIP, </a>  allows marketers to offer personalized content even by postal/ZIP code.
<a href="/wpengine" target="_blank"> <img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/wp_engine_logo_bb700x0.png" alt="WP Engine" /> </a>
<h2>WP Engine Hit New Heights (And Locations)</h2>
WP Engine GeoIP allows marketers to target Web content to users based on their physical location, without using third-party IP detection. GeoIP enables global brands to take a geomarketing approach to foster a more relevant, targeted, and personalized user experience down to a user’s country, state, city, and even ZIP code.
<ul>
<li>Powerful Geo-Targeting Capabilities:  create a personalized user experience by showing content especially useful or relevant to visitors on a location-by-location basis.</li>

<blockquote>“WP Engine is committed to driving better solutions for makers and marketers at global brands who are looking to improve the customer experience and be more effective with their marketing strategy. WP Engine Labs continues to provide innovative solutions built directly into the WP Engine platform, without hindering the world-class performance our customers expect from us.”</blockquote>
<h2>A Step Towards WordPress CXM?</h2>
WP Engine used to be a highly respected hosting company for WordPress users. But this update makes it more than just that.
Make no mistake about it, WP Engine has just taken a sizable step towards becoming a WordPress-dedicated customer experience manager. Personally, I'm excited to see what they'll introduce next.
To find out more about WP Engine GeoIP, <a href="/wp-engine-unveils-geoip-wordpress-marketers-can-now-deliver-location-specific-content/" target="_blank">check out their blog announcement</a>. There, you'll find an explanatory eBook, as well as some FAQs.

WP Engine Unveils GeoIP: WordPress Marketers Can Now Deliver Location-Specific Content

BlackMonk 3.5 has arrived, and it brings about an array of new and exciting features.
The Banglore based CMS was founded in 2012 and specialises in powering online magazines, business directories, community portals and more. You can explore more by reading my full <a href="/blackmonk-cms-review/" target="_blank">review of BlackMonk CMS</a>.
Newly implemented features include; new responsive templates, minimalistic UI that brings content to the center stage, and more.
<h2>New Reporting &amp; Online Directory Capabilities</h2>
BlackMonks's online directory model is based on the traditional subscription model that has remained an industry favourite for years. BlackMonk v3.5 adds a new dimension though, by merging the traditional subscription model with commission-based coupon sales.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/6d90a859-6367-4d2b-b9d8-afd011236710_1700x0.jpg" alt="BlackMonk 3.5" />
BlackMonk users can now allow directory subscribers to sell coupons on the website’s deal store. Merchants can add deals via their directory listing, set coupon inventory and receive payments through an online/offline mode. The system allows publishers to set commission rates, automate all financial computations.
Improved reporting is also a part of BlackMonk 3.5. Users now have access to enhanced reports where they  can track traffic, monitor business performance and keep tabs on revenues.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/204a3653-85fd-41ba-b830-54d087d35013700x0.jpg" alt="BlackMonk 3.5" />
The advanced reporting system provides a convenient way to track more than 100 KPIs across variable timelines. It enables users to find answers to questions like: which area of website is most popular with users, which service earns maximum revenue, what kind of content is shared by users – and so forth.
<h2>Better Looking, &amp; More Mobile-ready</h2>
BlackMonk users can now maximize the visual impact of their website and promote readership by making content more accessible. 
BlackMonk provides mobile ready <a href="http://opal.blackmonk.com/" target="_blank">Opal</a> and <a href="http://ivory.blackmonk.com/">Ivory</a> templates – featuring content focused design that allows users to browse and read content with ease. The new templates ensure great content presentation across all sections of the website, no matter what device the visitor is using.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/0da114c2-00e9-4401-8ffc-25e2e9198bf4700x0.jpg" alt="BlackMonk 3.5" />
BlackMonk 3.5 also introduces the advanced inline editor that allows publishers to create pages with rich formatting, photos and videos. This is something that I mentioned should be implemented in my full <a href="/blackmonk-cms-review/" target="_blank">review of BlackMonk CMS</a>.
However, unlike conventional WYSIWYG editors, where content is edited within a small text area, the inline editor gives the experience of editing a live web page. The handy context menu provides all the formatting plus media insert options, and can be invoked with a single click.
Further new features include enhanced content syndication and rich Google snippet optimization.
To get the details of everything BlackMonk v3.5 introduces, check out <a href="http://www.blackmonk.com/blog/2015/01/blackmonk-v35-the-most-advanced-web-portal-software-for-online-publishing" target="_blank">their official blog announcement</a>.

BlackMonk v3.5 Released

Images are an integral part of the web. Without them, we would have no choice but to stare at blocks of boring text, with no pretty pictures to liven things up.
<a href="https://chevereto.com">Chevereto</a> is a CMS that allows users to create their own image hosting websites, where website members can upload and manage their images, for online publication or otherwise.
Founded in 2007, Chevereto has released over 100 updates and they have three major releases already since its initial release.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/favicon-1.png" alt="Chevereto" style="max-width:300px" />
With a sleek user interface, front-end content management, privacy layers, and social signups, Chevereto offers an interesting prospect for both personal and community use. But now, with an Arvixe-powered price plan, Chevereto is offering quite the deal for those looking to launch their own image hosting website.
<h2>A Tempting Arvixe-inspired Bundle</h2>
Valued at $150, Chevereto’s new “<a href="https://chevereto.com/pricing">Network License Bundle</a>” is available at just $48, thanks to sponsorship from the widely respected hosting company, Arvixe.
The bundle includes 1 year of Arvixe hosting, along with a Chevereto Network License, which boasts multi-domain support, lifetime updates, and no license renewal fees.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/screen-user-albums700x0.jpg" alt="Chevereto" />
The deal is worth considering even for those with hosting in place, as the Chevereto Network License is effectively on offer for almost half the original price. Not a bad deal at all.
<h2>Trusty &amp; Feature-filled</h2>
Chevereto is a platform that is big on trust.
I had the chance to converse with the founder, Rodolfo Berrios, about his product, and he told me:
<blockquote>“The licenses that we offer are lifetime; which means one lifetime payment for upgrades and support. Users don’t need to worry about yearly fees or anything like that. We love our license model because users gets something that will never expire and they can enjoy updated software and support always.”</blockquote>
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/devices700x0.png" alt="Chevereto" />
Not to mention, the <a href="https://chevereto.com/features">plethora of features</a> on offer make Chevereto a powerful platform, capable of supporting advanced image sharing websites.Such features include Amazon S3 and FTP multi-servers, multi-language support for 22 languages, CDN readiness, mobile readiness and more.

DNN has announced the general availability of DNN Evoq 8.
<a href="http://www.dnnsoftware.com/" target="_blank">DNN Software</a> provides a suite of solutions that make designing, building and managing feature-rich sites and communities fast, easy and cost-effective. DNN Evoq Content is used by thousands of businesses worldwide, including a number of Fortune 500 companies. DNN was also the <a href="/2014-critics-choice-award-winner-best-small-to-midsize-business-net-cms/" target="_blank">2014 Critics' Choice Award Winner for Best Small to Midsize Business .NET CMS</a>.
According to DNN, Evoq 8 seeks to empower modern digital marketers by giving them easy access to all of their digital assets regardless of where they are stored. Marketers can also publish content to any online channel, personalize it to each visitor, and measure its effectiveness.
<h2>Bridging The Multi-channel Gap</h2>
The most obvious enhancement brought about by DNN Evoq 8 is the new, streamlined interface, with layout and editing capabilities that are more efficient than ever before.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/dnn-evoq-8-challenges700x0.png" alt="DNN Evoq 8" />
DNN Evoq 8 also brings about the following new features:
<ul>
<li>Content Personalization: Content personalization is seen as an essential digital marketing capability that increases conversion, according to recent research by Econsultancy. Evoq 8 enables customers to build personalization rules that tailor site content based on visitors’ profiles. Rules are based on geography, account registration (i.e. registered versus non-registered users), gender, age, recent visits, referral source, search terms and ad clicks.</li>
<li>Page-Level Content Analytics: Statistics on page views, referrers, unique visitors and conversions are presented as an overlay on each web page, via data collected and managed by Evoq. Any marketer, regardless of their level of proficiency with analytics, can immediately understand how content is performing, without navigating to a separate web analytics system.</li>
<li>Centralized Access to Cloud-Hosted Content Repositories: Evoq 8 includes built-in connectors to Box, Dropbox, Amazon S3, and SharePoint, making it easy to access any piece of content or digital asset from a single window. This capability allows marketers and content producers to use their preferred content storage service or use multiple services, without moving files, duplicating effort, or wasting valuable time.</li>
<li>Advocate Marketing: Evoq 8 enables Marketers to activate the brand advocates already on their webiste by rewarding them for sharing content on their personal social networks. The advocacy marketing capability is integrated with Evoq’s native gamification engine, and engages customers by issuing challenges, tracking challenge completions, and awarding points, badges, or other designated incentives.</li>
</ul>
Furthermore, Evoq 8 allows marketers to quickly and easily integrate their websites with Marketo.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/dnn-evoq-8-analytics700x0.png" alt="DNN Evoq 8" />
Navin Nagiah, CEO and President of DNN, gave some insightful comments regarding the release of DNN Evoq 8:
<blockquote>“We’re seeing a big shift in the digital marketing landscape.
Marketers have to coordinate the publishing and tracking of content to multiple channels and systems, beyond their own websites – Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, campaign microsites and landing pages, CRM systems, and marketing automation systems. From a marketing solutions perspective, on the one hand are traditional Web CMS for content publishing; and on the other hand, there are now more nascent solutions from young companies rooted in predictive analytics, personalization, and content marketing. Marketers are desperate to bridge that gap.
With Evoq 8, we will be one of the few companies to straddle both worlds and deliver measurable ROI to customers. Evoq pulls content from any repository, pushes it to any online channel, and measures its effectiveness.”</blockquote>
<h2>Live Webinar &amp; Product Demonstration</h2>
DNN will be showcasing a demonstration of Evoq 8 during their upcming webinar, schduled for Wednesday, January 28, 2015 at 9am PT (12pm ET). The webinar is open to the general public.
Visit DNN’s website to <a href="http://www.dnnsoftware.com/resources/webinars/build-world-class-digital-experiences-with-evoq-8/view/webinar?utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_source=DNN-Press-Release&amp;utm_campaign=webinar_invite_jan282015" target="_blank">register for the webinar</a>.
