Message Boards

Discussion Boards

 

You can allow site members to participate in online discussions in multiple areas about multiple topics. For an added level of security, only site members can post information to your message board.

Full Moderation
Because Discussion Boards are a Page Part, you can have them on any page in your site. This is an added benefit because you can put them on password protected pages and limit access to them to only selected members of your site. Regardless of whether your discussion boards are on password protected pages or not, you have full ability to edit or delete any message in your discussion boards. Speak softly and carry a big stick. We mean that metaphorically, of course.

Member Only Option
You can further secure your discussion boards by only allowing certain website members or member groups to post on your discussion boards. This feature is also useful for organizational ideation (I promise we didn't make that word up) where leadership can bounce ideas back and forth without worrying about who else might be reading (bring your Llama to work day!).

Online Community
What's greater than having a whole bunch of people coming to your website? A whole bunch of people coming to your website and interacting with each other. Using discussion boards, members of your site can discuss anything and everything - you and your staff can even jump in to add to discussions!

Avatars
Every member of the site can have a custom avatar (an image that displays when they make a post), so they can express their personality in a wider community. Whether it's a picture of your favorite stapler, your dog or just a good mug shot, your members can post messages in style!

eMail Marketing

eMail Marketing

 

eCards/ePostcards
People who know you best want to let others know who you are and what you're about, and eCards gives them a great way to do just that! Senders quickly select an eCard, type a personal message and send. Each eCard design is custom and allows you to include your contact information in the footer.

Delivered in full HTML
eCards are built and delivered in full HTML, which means that they are viewable in full color, text and live links in your inbox! 

Easy involvement
eCards are a very casual, unassuming way for members of your organization to invite others to get on board. They simply pop in some information, including a personal invitation, and send it off to their friends. This not only provides a friendly point of reference for your organization, but it also gets your name out!

Files

Files

 

Management
Yeah, we know, file management isn't exactly excitement looking for a place to happen, but SiteWrench makes it so easy to organize your files, you'll have plenty of time for all of the fun stuff! Whether organizing your files by what type they are (Videos, Images, Audio, Documents, etc) or by what department will be using them the most, you have the ability to create and edit Folders and Sub-Folders for all of your file management needs.

Tons of file types
In most systems, when you uploaded a file it gets checked against a list of allowable file types and is either accepted or rejected. This method makes it hard to keep up with a constantly growing list of file types. In SiteWrench, we've reversed the model. We check your file against a list of restricted file types. As long as your file is not on our "No" list, you're good!


Image thumbnails and optimization
Getting an image to the optimal size for the web can be a time consuming process. Pictures from digital cameras are way too big for the web and the programs to resize them never seem to be handy when you need them. In SiteWrench, we do the heavy lifting for you! Simply upload your image and we'll automatically create several sizes of thumbnails and give you the option of scaling down your full size image to a more web-appropriate size.

Forms

Forms

 

Overview
Easily put your forms online and give your audience the ability to get in touch with you anytime. SiteWrench captures their information in a database for easy follow-up and sends you an email summarizing their entry.

Database Records
In SiteWrench, when someone submits a form, all of that data is automatically stored in a database for you to have access to anytime you want! You can even export the database to upload into other data management programs like Excel, Numbers and Google Docs!

Automatic Notification
Not only does SiteWrench store the form data in a database, it sends you an email summarizing the form data as soon as it is submitted! You're automatically notified with the form information, so you have a real-time view of form data!

Confirmation Message
You can set custom Confirmation Messages for each form you build. Whether it's simply thanking someone for filling out your form or providing more specific information (other pages on the website they can visit, contact information, etc.), you can assure your website visitors that their message has been received and is important.

Easy to Build
Ever tried to build a form in a program like Dreamweaver or FrontPage? You be writing us thank you notes for making Forms so easy to build in SiteWrench. Simply select an element and give it a name. For example, select a "Single Text Line" element and name it "Email Address" (seriously, that's all there is to it).

By embedding a Google Maps into your site design, visitors get an interactive look at where you are and how to get there. Place pins to show multiple locations and get ready for hoards of visitors and customers.

Mass Mail

Mass Mail

 

Total Solution
With SiteWrench, you can send great looking, full HTML email anytime in a snap. Whether your list size is 50 or 5,000 SiteWrench handles all of the mailing for you. You will also be able to set a display name, so that your email shows up in your recipients' in-boxes as "Joe Smith" or "First Organization Monthly Newsletter." You can send each issue out manually, or you can schedule them to be sent at a specific day and time. How great is that?!

View Online
Let's face it, email browsers just don't do everything a web browser can. Many of them block images or styles that make the email pop -especially web based email readers like Hotmail, Gmail or AOL Mail. SiteWrench gives readers another option. We've automatically built in a link to that readers can click to view your eNewsletter online at your website. That way, you can be sure your reader is seeing exactly what you wanted them to see. 

People Integration
Mass Mail ties right into your People database in SiteWrench! You can allow anyone to sign up for your email list, or you can control the list yourself, deciding which members and groups are a part of each mailing. Using your People database in SiteWrench, you can also send Mass Mail to "Smart Groups." Imagine that you are having a marriage conference and want to get the word out. Just set your criteria to send your Mass Mail to everyone who has marked "married" in your Membership database. Men's Conference? Send it to all males 18 years old or older. You define; SiteWrench sends!

Media Archives

Media Archives

 

Our Sermon Archive Page Part makes it easy to manage all of your sermon files, including audio, video and documents on any page of your website that you'd like. With SiteWrench 4.0 having an online searchable media resource is now available at the click of a button.

Searchable
Let your members keep up with what's going on. Keep an archive of media on your website, and they can search by several different categories to find the message that will most speak to them in that moment. Every archive is searchable by:

  • Key Scripture
  • Speaker
  • Topic
  • Message Title

Podcast on click
Podcasting is incredibly popular, and SiteWrench 4.0 makes it easy for you to Podcast through iTunes - simply choose the file that you want to upload and click the Podcast checkbox. That's it. Your file will automatically be sent to iTunes for podcast.

Supports Audio, Video and Text
We know that you may have different types of files that you would like to provide as resources in your media archive, and the Media Archive Page Part lets you put them all together in one place! Obviously you can upload an audio file, but you can also upload a video of all or part of the event. You can even upload transcript files!

Members

Members

 

Customizable Member Database
We started with the Member Database. We decided that you should be able to customize what information you gather about your members. Set what information you want from members (name, address, email, shoe size, etc.), then set whether the information is required and BAM! you're finished. Finally, a membership solution that lets you build a database that fits your organization - not someone else's.

Member Groups
The next thing we built was Member Groups. We realized that it can be hard keeping up with a whole bunch of individual members and it would greatly benefit you to be able to group them. In SiteWrench, you can create groups and add members to those groups. You can even set the group(s) available for someone to join during the Member Registration process. We also offer smart groups automatically created based on your members’ profiles.

Members-Only Access
Pretty much everything in SiteWrench can be password protected based on Membership. Since our Pages system encompasses an array of modules using Page Parts, restricting access to these modules is simple. For example, if you want to setup a private message board that only members of your staff can see, create a Page called "Staff Message Board" and drop a Message Board Page Part on that page. Then give your staff members access (or use a member group). Now only your staff members can access this message board.

Menu Manager

Menu Manager

 

No one likes dealing with clunky menu PDFs that require constant updating and aren't even guaranteed to work for everyone. Instead, why not have multiple menus available at your fingertips in simple line-item format? With Menu Manager, we've made the process of menu management simple and easy.

We're making the process of menu management simple and easy with direct access and fill-in-the-blank editing.

For additional convenience, you can upload print-ready PDFs of your menus for easy take-out or catering orders. We've thought of everything!

And with easy editing, when a new item needs to be added or a price needs to change, you only need to add or edit accordingly. Since it it database driven, it's easy for you to reorder items on the page without hassle. It's easy for customers to view your menu and even easier for you to manage.

News

News

 

We know that your organization has news-worthy events that everyone should know about. We also know that sometimes *cough* that news may stay on your website a little bit longer than you meant for it to stay (i.e. "We've Got a New Location" is a great story, but only if it isn't from 2004). It might be that you leave your news stories up longer so that more people see it, or it might be that you simply forgot how to take the information off of your website. Have no fear, the News page part in SiteWrench 4.0 is coming to the rescue (how's that for a headline?)!

Story Scheduling
No more 4 year old news articles laying around on your site! With the News page part, you can setup a Publish Date and an End Date for each individual story. Not only does this mean that you don't have old information on your website, it also means that you can work on and complete stories ahead of time and simply set the Publish Date to the appropriate time in the future.

Broadcast Through RSS
It's easy for you to keep people in the know about your organization - allow them to subscribe to your News RSS Feed! This feature keeps people informed while also driving traffic back to your website. That's what we like to call a two-for-one deal.

Put Yourself Out There
Here's the thing... People that visit your website want to learn about who you are and what you do. No matter whether it's small or large, put your news out there! It's what people are looking for. After all, if you're trying to top the world's largest pillow fight, you're going to need a lot of people there, and the only way they'll know it's happening is if you tell them about it!
