Our Introduction.

Boss was conceived to provide graphic design firms with a reliable tool that they could depend upon to faithfully translate and host their designs on the web.
It provides an engine that can be configured for a wide variety of situations but always provides the same interface (Boss.Console) for them and their clients to manage their sites from.

This is how we can help you - the graphic design firm.

1. Reduce to zero the long term support issues and time lost relearning numerious applications because you're now using one system that we know all about.
2. Websites can be treated internally like print jobs. Rather than the accumulating demand on time and resources with each completed website, you hand them to us and we ring your client each month and continously support them on your behalf.
3. We will increase your repeat business because we are staying in touch with your client and we refer all design enquiries back to yourselves.
   
4. We free up time that was spent handling infrastructure (domains, email, stats, hosting) so you can focus on the design processes.
5. Software applications (such as shopping carts) requested by customers that were potentially previously beyond the abilities of your team are now very easily delivered.

So what can I now supply my clients

Boss comes with a number of modules and a Lite version. All deployments of Boss get the Boss Framework and the Boss.Console.
The Boss Framework is the base system which modules can be added too and it allows you to provide your clients with a growth path for those that want to start small.
The Boss.Console is a secure online interface which both the Graphic Designer and the client can access and control their site from.

Boss.Lite
Boss Lite includes a limited version of the Boss.CMS module. It allows for up to 5 pages and additional pages can be purchased.

Boss.CMS
The Boss.CMS is the friendliest CMS on the planet. (CMS stands for Content Management System). It hooks directly into the Boss Framework and allows for page creation, content editing, image uploads/resizing, file uploads, external media (like youtube) embedding and lots more.

Boss.Client
Boss.Client is for allowing people to have accounts with your site - whether it's to view secure pages, or for shopping cart accounts and it can be adapted to a wide variety of needs.

Boss.Catalogue
Boss.Catalogue is for organising and listing products. It works nicely with Boss.Client for things like retail and wholesale price presentation to end users and can also be utilised with Boss.Cart

Boss.Commerce
For online payments, donations, purchases - our Boss.Commerce module works with an ever increasing wide variety of online payment gateways. It also allows for direct deposits and works very well with Boss.Cart

Boss.Cart
Boss.Cart is the shopping cart module which ties a lot of the other modules together very nicely. It allows for online ordering and purchasing and has a number of advanced features such as a shipping rule builder and support for a variety of checkout procedures. Highly customisable including some control over the checkout processes.

You want some more convincing?

For designers, the biggest feature is the assurance that they can achieve a consistent level of technical excellence that matches their designs when constructing websites. This lets them get back to concentrating on designing and allows us to support them with what we do so well.
Their clients will find:

1. Their websites work seamlessly out of the box and are very easy to maintain
2. They have quality ongoing support for their technology
3. They can easily upgrade their website as business allows

Not only that but the websites:

1. Can be built and deployed nearly as fast as the designer can design.
2. Can be redesigned without being rebuilt.
3. Are monitored 24/7, with errors automatically emailed to the developers.
4. Are constantly re-evaluated and improved technically without the client even asking.

The websites that are generated with the Boss.Framework are technically sound, follow good white hat search engine optimisation techniques* and handle web protocols correctly.
