Gearbox Content Management System (CMS) is perhaps the simplest to use, customise and expand of any CMS system available. Where some CMS products use a 'one size fits all' solution, Gearbox CMS consists of a small, highly efficient core around which we add any number of bespoke
Gears (as well as many common
Gears) to customise it to individual customers' needs. The result is a CMS tailored to your requirements - but with none of the usual superfluous features that you may never use and which regularly confuse users.
Currently Gearbox CMS is only available as a complete solution. We supply Gearbox, complete with customised
Gears, page layouts and designs. In other words, we deliver it to you ready to use from day one. If required, we will populate the site from whatever source of content you wish to provide.
In an exciting development, however, we will provide an 'off the shelf' solution later this year. This will consist of the core Gearbox CMS plus the most commonly used
Gears. You can then produce your own page templates and designs to populate your site. Custom
Gears can be developed by you (suitable documentation to allow you to do this will be included) or you will be able to purchase pre-built custom
Gears from this website. We will also produce new
Gears for you by commission.
Gears
Gears are the components from which Gearbox builds your website. Some are general purpose such as:
- Site maps
- Various automatic navigation systems
- Email forms
- Javascript
- Flash containers
- HTML
Other are more specialised:
- Organisation charts
- Flight search forms
- LDAP integrated login
- External database access
As well as using Gearbox for this website, we already have a number of satisfied customers. Click one of the links on the right to find out how we customised Gearbox to suit the very specific needs of a few of our customers.
