A Response to Luciana
Hi, my name is Etienne de Bruin and I head the team of developers over at Monk Development, creators of Ekklesia 360. I happened to find this site and wanted to clarify a few mis-conceptions from Luciana. (I don't know who this is or if they've used the system, but the information they posted is inaccurate.) 1. Our system is designed to allow both beginners to use it as well as advanced users. Advanced users can learn the API and have full control over all aspects of site design, including building their own site and managing it themselves. 2. Our pricing options are presented in our product proposals. We offer flexible pricing based on whether you plan to design the site and rebuild it or want one of our 10+ design partners to do it for you and rebuild it. There are many options in between, so pricing is determined on that. If you'd like information on pricing we can provide it. We believe that there are two basic phases to web site development: Design Phase and Content Phase. Both start at the same point in time. We think that designers should help with the design phase and our customer should do the content phase. We make it as flexibile as possible for designers to integrate our CMS into a design and we make it as simple as possible for our customers to enter and maintain their content without having to worry about what their content will *look* like. It's all good, it's all 10 and we are fanatical about putting the best product out there for our customers. Thank you, Monk Development
