What can Squirrel do for me?

Squirrel is a powerful, yet easy to use website content management tool. It allows you to make changes to your website when you want, where you want and is customized to your business by Cape.Com's expert programmers.

Squirrel can empower you to add, organize, edit, remove, post and publish:

• products and services
• on-line inventory items
• job listings
• event calendars
• links to other websites
• press releases and news articles
• technical and legal documentation
• internal corporate information (policies, etc.)

Changes made to the Squirrel database are instantly reflected on your site. You don't need to know any web programming languages, and you no longer have to wait for your web developer or IT department to make the necessary content changes that a busy web site needs to stay vital in today's highly competitive web marketplace. Your changes become live immediately!

We needed a site that was both affordable and easy for the various departments to update. Cape.Com's Squirrel is used to maintain and update the site on almost a daily basis. It has allowed us to spread out the workload so that we are much more effective in keeping our site timely.
- Peter Van Dyck, MIS Coordinator Town of Orleans, www.town.orleans.ma.us

I wanted to be able to update any of our listings in live time rather than having to send the material to an off-site person who would get to updating our site eventually. Squirrel provided me with a dynamite site that enables me to change a price the instant an agent gives me the heads up, add a photo or three the moment I get them, and include a new listing to our site before the ink is dry.

It is very important to me to be able to quickly update information and articles on our website, and I have found the Squirrel program very efficient and easy to use. Squirrel allows me to instantly add new pages and repair any errors as needed.

Squirrel allows you to add and maintain multiple users with varying levels of access and administration to the various sections of your database. This means your entire staff can help maintain your site or you can limit it to just a few. Or you can limit what areas of the site can be changed, while other sections cannot. For special business-to-business, or subscriber-based applications, a Squirrel-driven site can allow you to password-protect the access to many of the sections of your site, while you can add and remove passwords instantly.

For e-commerce applications, a Squirrel-driven site can be used to provide shopping-cart interactivity to your web customers, and can be customized to meet your order-processing specifications. You will be selling online in no time!

For companies that already have a prospering site, our staff can work with your designers, webmasters and marketing department to Squirrel-enable your whole site, or just parts of the site to which you need instant access. Or, our design team and programmers can develop a whole new site, and you and your staff can begin publishing your information, events, product lines, etc. on the web anytime, anywhere. All you need is a browser and an internet connection.

If you'd like an example of a Squirrel-driven web site, you're looking at one. The entire Cape.Com web site is edited and maintained by the marketing manager (practically the least technical of us all!) using this system.

Since Squirrel is completely customized to your business and existing site (if available), pricing for a Squirrel-enabled site varies considerably. Pricing starts at approximately $1,000 and increases according to how large and complex your site is, and what portions of it you want "squirrelized". Most businesses recoup their investment in the first few months of use.
