how can I edit my website myself?

You surely ask yourself how you can edit your website yourself? How can you edit your website without contacting a web specialist all the time you want to make the smallest of changes? There is a solution that now exists. It is called EZ-Access®

what is EZ-Access®?

EZ-Access® is a tool that can be installed on any website: wether it's a new or existing one. It has the ability, among other things, to allow anyone with a little MS-Word experience to edit the content of their website without having to contact a programmer or designer all the time. EZ-Access® integrates seemlessly into any website and adapts to any type of design or web langage.

what modules/features are available for EZ-Access®?

Actually, EZ-Access® offers these modules and major features:
  • completely multilingual(*),
  • website content management module,
  • database module to manage unlimited types of data in unlimited quantities,
  • any content or data is linked into your website directly,
  • export->zip->save->backup all your data in a single click,
  • one click table export to CSV (tab or comma delimited, Windows or Unix newline),
  • one click database optimize or tables list,
  • members subscription module (user or admin registration, email confirmation or not),
  • blog management module,
  • encyclopedia module,
  • recommend us module,
  • data in all forms are "sanitized" by default (to prevent hacking and SQL code injection),
  • CAPTCHAS keeping spammers away and preventing robots from filling your forms.
Any modules can be created or customized for EZ-Access® since it's based on the world's most popular web language: PHP. If you need any module created for your installation of EZ-Access®, please contact your vendor (see list below).

(*)= Not bilingual or trilingual. As many "linguals" as you can have your website translated into.

my module/feature is not listed here. can it be made for EZ-Access®?

Yes. EZ-Access® is made with a framework that allows custom development and module/feature creation. Cost will be directly relevant to man/hours required to create the module or feature.

Keep in mind that if the customization you require can be made available to the public because it is popular, it will be coded at a discount rate. You are then considered as a contributor to the project. See further down for contributors information.

what are the requirements for EZ-Access®?

To run EZ-Access®, you need Apache, PHP and MySQL. All of which are Free Software, Open Source and supported by all major and grand public web hosting services. Just about any recent version of these will do.

where can I get EZ-Access® or have it customized? - Vendors list

To get your hands on or customize EZ-Access®, please contact your vendor:

how much is EZ-Access® anyways?

EZ-Access® can be installed with a starting price of 200$ CAD. At that price, EZ-Access® is installed and working, but your website is not linked to it just yet. An additionnal cost will be added to this. This additionnal cost will greatly vary depending if your website is a new one, an old one with few or extensive content, if we need to carry over your content from your actual website to EZ-Access® or if you do it yourself. Contact your vendor for more information regarding this specific issue.

Modules prices will vary anywhere from 50$ up to 400$, depending on their importance, size, complexity and functionalities.

what is EZ-Access® made with?

EZ-Access® is built with CodeIgniter which originally is Open Source and delivered under the GPL license. While CodeIgniter is Open Source and has been used as an engine to EZ-Access®, EZ-Access® can't be redistributed without permission as it is under certain Canadian intellectual properties laws.

project contributors

Here are the project contributors:

A contributor becomes one after having met certain criterias. For one, they need to have requested "custom" features that are so popular to everyone that their customization has become part of the project. Then, they need to be an active player in the project. Helping to keep it alive and well.
