About Scribe
Scribe, The Salvation Armys website content management system, allows you to create and maintain professional looking websites without advanced technical or creative skills.
Developed by The Army, for The Army, Scribe is the result of four years work by Communications & Public Relations staff. Key features include:
- Simple! - Scribe has been developed with the non-technical user in mind. If you can use basic computer software such as Word, Email and a Web Browser, you can create a website with Scribe!
- Powerful! - Whilst simple to use, Scribe has something to offer for the advanced user.
- Web based - No need to install the software! Scribe runs inside your web browser just as normal websites do. This allows you to log in from work, home or from the other side of the world! The minimum requirement is Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox 3.
- Unlimited users - There's no need to purchase a license for each user you wish to have work on the website. For example, your Corps Officer, office administrator, children's coordinator, youth leader etc could all maintain their area of the website.
- Themes - You have a choice of professionally designed themes so your website will look great even if you're not the creative type! You can even modify a theme to add your identity.
- Podcast manager - You can easily publish your audio/video content so others can download it to their computer/iPod. This is a great way to make your sermons available to a much wider audience.
- Website traffic analysis - You have access to the most comprehensive stats imaginable about your website!
- Affordable! - Scribe costs $150 per website per year. This includes Scribe software, standard themes, web hosting, domain name, THQ support, 'reasonable bandwidth' and continued software development. Websites requiring custom themes and large bandwidth can purchase these on request.
