An enterprise open source CMS has no licence costs: the code is free and you do not pay by number of users, sites or languages. The real costs are design, development, hosting and maintenance.

Many proprietary CMSs are paid for with fees tied to users, traffic or active modules. With an open source CMS the software is yours to use without constraints, and you can change supplier without losing your site. This does not mean the site is "free": the value lies in the work of those who design and maintain it. To understand how the investment is made up, read the page on the cost of a business website. If your company is in Como, Brianza or Milan, we explain item by item what the quote is made up of.

No licence fees

The enterprise CMS is distributed under an open source licence: there are no costs per user, site or additional language.

Freedom of choice

The code is open and documented: the site is not tied to a single software vendor.

Where the real investment goes

Design, bespoke development, content, managed hosting and ongoing maintenance of the site.

Open source websites, designed to measure

Our history

A history of bespoke websites

Find out how we came, from Cantù, to choose an open source enterprise CMS for our clients' websites.

Our history
new-visibility-agenzia-comunicazione-marketing-digitale-cantu-provincia-como-creativita

To update your site on your own, you log in to the CMS panel, edit text and images in the prepared blocks, check the preview and publish, without writing code. At handover we train your team, in Cantù or at your premises between Como and Milan, and we remain available for future developments.

Images and media are managed from a central library: you upload the file once, organise it in collections with alt text and reuse it across all pages and languages. The CMS generates the optimised formats; we also produce photos and video ourselves, in Cantù, for companies in Como and Brianza.

To connect the website to the company management system you need an agency that develops bespoke integrations with ERP, CRM and PIM. NewVisibility, in Cantù, does it with an in-house team, an enterprise CMS and managed servers, for companies between Como, Milan and Lugano.

To manage access and permissions for user groups, you assign each user to one or more groups and define which pages, documents and functions they can use. A few clear groups, by market or customer type, keep the area orderly: we do this in Cantù for companies in Como, Brianza and Ticino.

In the CMS, translations are managed by creating a version of each page in every language, with its own text, URL and meta tags. In our enterprise CMS you switch between languages from the same panel and see what is missing; from Cantù we support companies in Como and Milan in setting up translator permissions.
