What can i use for members area organization?
 

to organize content and stuff?

This one http://awizsoft.com/paysite/ for example

with this price I might as well go for CArma

how much is carma? awiz is $349 for the full version...I don't think Carma is anywhere near that

hell, elevatedx is $3999 and MAS is like $4k

How did you figure this out? One time license fee for aWiz goes up to $349 - Carma costa $150 a month or $3500 to buy not to speak of the $500 setup fees. NO offence to Carma at all they have great software.

Haha Jace, looks like we think alike :thumbsup

definitely, carma is amazing, but not even in the same league as Awiz

is carma waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better?

bump on the q!

You get what you pay for - both in product and support.

I recommend MAS from Mansion Productions, then again, I am biased - but talk to people, try out demos from all companies and get references. The price you pay for a good CMS the first time is very well worth it over time if you are serious about your venture.

:2 cents: :thumbsup

Looks great and I am serious but I dont have 4Gs to drop for a one site CMS

Anyways I think ill buy some russians to piece something really nice together for me..unless i get offered something reasonable...since none of the companies have some innovative features I was going to use anyway.

thinking about it some more... if I did have 4 gs to drop on this... id write a custom one

What gfeatures are you looking for exactly?

I keep asking but body answers ..how easy is Awiz when you are running more than one site and don't know much about scripts?

SiteDepth is also a CMS

The hardest part of awiz is figuring out the templates and setting up a site for the first time, adding others is easy. You just have to take the time to learn it like everything else.
I don't know about others, but I do know I'm not hemorrhaging cash every month either. They also have good support, (nothing like Mansion or Toomuchmedia I'm sure, but good nonetheless) and will set things up for you reasonably cheap so you don't have to worry about it.
Ask them to send you the manual before you buy, to see for yourself how hard it is, or I have it if you want. Cheers
Just my :2 cents:

its classified for now... but trust me... nice and usefull

I have a guy writing something for me as we speak. Hit me up on icq 53217302 if you wanna potentially... join forces I guess :)

doyou have a lot of experience setting up Awiz? if so, would you ever consider being paid to show someone else? LOL...

CARMA is like 150.00 a month and you don't own it and AWIZ is like what 350.00 to own it. I've had CARMA not using it anymore. I'm going to give AWIZ try.. Anyone else use AWIZ?? If so any good?

Actually if someone has a hardships with templates, aWIZ support makes complete templates integration during 1-2 workday just for $50.
Or even simpler: you can flick through the Manual and say what modules/features you wish to have on the site. In such case complete development and integration of templates takes a few days and costs $180, although just a pure design work costs more in the majority of places... Many samples of design quality, as well as many clients' impressions may be found on aWIZ site:

sitedepth :thumbsup

Carma or MAS

anyone recommend aMembership?

it's like a vbulletin plugin or something.

bump for that...

Does aWiz or any of the others manage your preview area as well?

I want something to add the latest update to the preview section but then also calculate which preview pages/models are being clicked the most and push them to the front or just below the latest update.

Anyone know which CMS does this?

The templates costs you a whole $50 more :2 cents:

aWIZ supports on external (splash/tour) pages translation of the following members area's items:
1) Any number of "Last updates" with up to 9 icons per set;
2) Site news
3) Models database with personal bio-pages and previews of all sets of each model (as icons);
4) Content, sets' and models' counters;
5) Separated external pages, where will be selected only previews of updates from specified categories;
6) Separated external pages, where will be selected only previews of updates from specified periods;

MAS is worth every cent !

aWIZ, because features, quality of script and support are just incredible for such cheap price!

MAS is pretty hardcore. I have it for my site currently. It does what it's designed to but can be very daunting for someone with no real HTML experience. You will most likely need to have it professionally installed by them, and most likely also pay to have them do the entire template for you. their designs are very good and very expensive, so know that going in. I have also seen Site Depth in action. Another great CMS. www.sitedepth.com The guy over there are very attentive, cost of the programs 599 installed, and they will do custom integration if you need it also. Sitedepth doesn't have it's own template designers so you will need your own, but intergration is very simple. In playing with it I have my first test members area up in less than an hour. MAS i think is over kill for a single site. MAS does have a very in depth 2257 module, which is something to think about if your shooting your own stuff etc. I have never seen Carma, so I have no opinion.

i use sitedepth and love it. makes my job easier

over at www.starlightbucks.com, we use sitedepth for all of our members areas and it works perfect for what we need ! great folks over there too !

i have been using sitedepth for most of my clients and so far so good. not only the application works great but also the support and that is very important you al most know. and they are in the same city you are Montreal! my 2 cents!

do you do custom site depth templates and programming?
