ShoutCMS: Can You Run a Business Website on Less than $100

3 mins

ShoutCMS, this week's featured product here on CMS Critic, is packed with many built-in features for day-to-day business use including invoicing, eCommerce, mass mail, integrated email management, contact database and content management.

The Sum of All Parts

ShoutCMS is looking to bridge the gap between the all-inclusive, feature-ridden, flagship CMS solutions and those of the popular web-builders that have dominated the market.

There is a gap in the market right now that ShoutCMS is looking to fill, one that in many cases is addressed by configuring multiple solutions together instead of a single application that does a range of tasks.

For developers, who have their trusty kit of plug-ins or through tying together multiple applications, putting together a low-cost business savvy solution is attainable, but at a price.

Typically, this isn’t an elegant solution as all of these different pieces must be kept up-to-date and integrated via APIs or custom-software. You are now in the business of providing a service to your customer to manage this risk and keep your solution running.

Using a multi-application approach can lead to a higher cost of total ownership for the client, who in the end, is paying for many services instead a single system. For small teams in web design or marketing, they are also incur development and staffing costs to keep hybrid solutions running.

To make it easier and more affordable to run a business website, ShoutCMS has brought together a number of industry features in a single solution. We’ll now take a look at how the integration of these brings benefit.

Big Business Features, Small Business Pricing
