Solutions for Non-Profit Organizations

As with businesses and government agencies, non-profit organizations can benefit from a powerful and flexible content management system. WebGUI allows organizations with limited funds and technical staff to have a professional online presence with a full list of enterprise-grade features.

Standardized, User Friendly Interface

WebGUI includes a powerful WYSIWYG editor which allows for text formatting, image uploads, and hyperlink creation. The standardized interface and editor are very similar to popular office software suites and therefore require little or no training for new users to be productive.

Content Control

WebGUI provides maximum content control. The versioning system allows content to be passed through an approval process before appearing on a live site, and content can be “rolled back” in the case it has been published in error. Content can also be created and scheduled for publication in advance. Groups of users can be assigned content privileges, so content view and creation can be limited to those assigned, while eliminating the worry of outside interference.

Licensing Costs

WebGUI is open source software licensed under the GNU General Public License. WebGUI is completely free and allows non-profit organizations to deploy the solution without incurring costs related to licensing, product updates, and future releases. The money saved in licensing costs can be used to purchase commercial support, training, or better server hardware.

Security

WebGUI is an OSI Certified Open Source Software, ensuring its high quality. Passwords are MD5 encrypted, and logins and content are served over SSL. WebGUI offers configurable user-level authentication against the WebGUI database or an LDAP server. The users and groups system controls access to site content and administrative functions.

Multilingual Content Management

WebGUI's internationalization features allow users to select the languages in which they manage content. WebGUI's translation server allows for new translations of the user interface, so new languages can be added and updated at any time. Users throughout the world can collaborate on content with others in their native language. Time and date displays can also be customized on a per-user basis to reflect the area of the world in which users are located.
