Some of you may notice a new look for this blog. Little by little I have been working on some web site hosting software for our GiftWorks customers. Initially we will be offering hosted web pages for online donations only. A customer will be able to publish one or more web pages that will accept online donations (thanks to a partnership with United Way of America) and have those donations automatically recorded back into the GiftWorks database. In order to provide that service we need to allow some simple customizations so the customer can integrate the online donation web pages into their website -- or at least give the web pages a look and feel that matches their organization. This is where my blog and the web site hosting software comes in. This blog is running on a prototype of the hosting software. We are almost there.
Eventually we will enable our customers to build full blown web sites with many different features as well as direct integration with GiftWorks. Customers that are reading this, please give us feedback on what you would like to see from Mission Research in regards to web site hosting. Anyone interested on getting into some pre-release use, please let us know as well. Thanks.
