What Is SiteDone?
Good question... well simply put, it's a piece of software which allows you to maintain your own website, also known as a CMS (Content Management System) or 'Back Office'.

Suffice to say this in itself is not a new idea, what is new however is that SiteDone has been designed from scratch to provide huge benefits over alternative systems. Here are just some of the benefits:

• Extremely quick to deploy
• Integrated Membership System
• Supports all commonly used media formats
• Encourages growth of community through user involvement (comments, submissions, forum)
• Standardised code means greater stability
• Free in-version updates to core system
• Easily extensible, upgradable and customisable
• Integrated image and media libraries ensuring that content can be updated on the move
• Integrated publishing work-flow system allowing different levels of site manager

And Lastly

• Incredibly low license cost

What more... as they say, could you want?

So.. erm.. why?
Another good question! Well, SiteDone is developed by a company called 'Kempt'. Kempt will do anything they're asked to do really, but they mainly produce new media for companies and organisations who have reasonably large and generally youthful audiences. This ranges from leading brands to charities but more particularly record companies and recording artists.

Originally developed to allow clients to manage their own sites cheaply and more efficiently the system quickly evolved into an extremely versatile and stable content management tool. At this point Kempt realised that by standardising the system into a core set of utilities they could deploy sites far more quickly and reliably, reducing costs for their clients and headaches for themselves.

According to MD Chris Kemp-Salt: 'It's all about honesty really, most agencies re-use things that they've developed for other projects and we were no different, but by packaging the system up as a distinct product we allow all our clients to benefit equally from the system and the standardised architecture means that future enhancements can be easily added to all sites as desired' he continued... 'I'm particularly excited about the potential for smaller record labels, with Artist Edition we've put high end functionality firmly in the grasp of even the most limited budget...'

The development of SiteDone required a fairly substantial re-write of the system which has resulted in two separate distribution models:

SiteDone Artist Edition and Label Edition aim to provide an affordable but fully functional entry-point for new artists and small labels who don't have the resources to fund the development of a full-scale bespoke production.

Custom Edition provides all of the functionality of the standard editions with the added benefit of a bespoke 'front end' or 'user interface' meaning that whether your passion is for flaming logos, animated bananas, or even a slick, professional, gracefully transitioning masterpiece, it can be yours with all the benefits of the basic system.

Most importantly, customers who already own one of the basic systems can easily upgrade to a custom system or even later versions at any time, without any loss of content or server down-time. So if your university tour goes well and you suddenly find yourself playing at Wembly, you can simply re-skin your site and go for it!
