00:06 hey everybody this is joe workman and in
00:08 this video
00:08 i want to talk about the differences
00:11 between
00:11 easy cms and total cms right
00:15 just to make sure it's clear and there's
00:17 really two things that we should talk
00:19 about
00:20 really the first is going to be
00:22 licensing because
00:24 easy cms and total cms are licensed very
00:27 differently
00:28 and the second part is the features
00:31 right
00:31 what features does easy cms have versus
00:34 total cms
00:36 so first let's go over the licensing
00:39 easy cms
00:40 is charged just like traditional stacks
00:43 right you pay for it once
00:46 and no matter what you can use it on as
00:49 many websites as you want
00:52 just like any other stack right so you
00:54 pay for easy cms once
00:57 and you get to use it on as many
00:58 websites as you want
01:01 now total cms has a lot more
01:04 professional
01:06 facing features right we could do a lot
01:08 more with total cms
01:10 and we decided to gear that more towards
01:13 the professional user
01:15 and that's why we decided to do a per
01:18 domain pricing for total cms
01:22 that means when you purchase total cms
01:24 you will get a serial
01:26 number you will then register that
01:28 serial number
01:30 for a particular domain
01:33 and then from now on you can use total
01:35 cms as much as you want
01:37 on that domain now total cms
01:40 has a 30-day free trial so if you're
01:44 unsure whether or not
01:45 it's something that will be fitting for
01:46 you or your client
01:49 go ahead and download it and upload it
01:50 to your server and play around with it
01:53 for a few days
01:54 or 30 days and let your customers see
01:57 and interact with it to see how they
01:59 like it
02:00 and it could be something that you'd
02:01 really love to use for your project
02:04 so now let's jump in and look at some of
02:06 the feature comparisons between easy cms
02:09 and total cms
02:11 and to do that properly we're just going
02:12 to jump into wrapweaver
02:14 and look at the stacks available for
02:16 each set
02:18 so here we have the easy cms demo
02:20 project that ships with easy cms
02:22 and is available from download for from
02:24 our doc portal
02:26 now i'm just going to open up the stacks
02:28 library
02:29 and i've created a custom group in
02:31 stacks 3 that shows
02:33 all the stacks for both easy cms and
02:36 total cms
02:38 and right away you should notice the
02:40 difference
02:41 right on easy cms and total cms we have
02:44 a
02:44 current icon scheme where the colored
02:47 background icons are the admin related
02:49 stacks
02:50 and the white background icons are for
02:53 displaying
02:53 the cms content on the page
02:57 so what you'll notice is easy cms really
03:00 handles
03:01 text and images which is the basics of
03:04 what we want our cms to do
03:06 right and this is great for many
03:09 websites
03:10 maybe you only need the ability to edit
03:12 some text and images on your page
03:15 and for those sites that's exactly what
03:17 easy cms is built for
03:20 now we added a few extras such as
03:22 centralized save buttons
03:24 and cheat sheets and the formatting
03:26 toolbar
03:27 for markdown but total cms is really
03:30 where we get
03:31 all of our really really great features
03:35 here we have all of the same exact
03:37 stacks as easy cms
03:40 plus a whole lot more we have the
03:42 ability to have galleries
03:45 news feeds manage files
03:48 and depots we can password protect
03:51 our admin pages using the total cms
03:54 protect stack
03:56 we can manage videos as well as to find
03:59 predefined text content
04:01 with our select box
04:05 now from the content standpoint we have
04:07 corresponding content stacks to all of
04:09 those
04:11 now for galleries we have not only a
04:12 gallery stack but also a slideshow stack
04:15 depending on how you want to display
04:18 your gallery images
04:21 and we have a lot more coming to total
04:23 cms
04:25 so i hope this video provided you a
04:27 clear picture on
04:28 where easy cms and total cms lie right
04:32 while they're very similar products they
04:35 also have very different targets
04:38 right because easy cms is great for
04:42 maybe your low budget websites where you
04:44 really don't need
04:45 to manage everything right just some
04:48 simple text and images will work
04:50 great now total cms is there for the
04:54 full-blown cms solution
04:56 right for blogs and feeds and
04:59 galleries and files right if you need
05:02 all of that sort of feature set
05:04 then total cms is probably where you
05:07 want to go
05:09 and again it has a 30-day trial so go
05:12 ahead
05:12 and download it for free and publish it
05:15 to your domain
05:16 and try it out so i hope this video
05:19 helps you decide which cms is best for
05:21 you
05:22 or maybe both cms's are for you and
05:25 maybe see on some projects you use easy
05:27 cms
05:28 and on other bigger projects you use
05:30 total cms
05:32 and thank you very much i hope you enjoy
05:35 the cms i hope that it's making your
05:37 lives a little bit easier
05:38 so thank you very much everybody talk to
