Paysite CMS
 

Looking to buy/lease a paysite CMS. Need to support HD and ccbill. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Drupal. Not sure why you would pay for a CMS when there are amazing free CMSs available.

Are you serious about this business or not? If you're just playing, then go with a free CMS. If you're not here to fuck about and need the back-up of a company that does this for a living then go with a product like MAS from Mansion Productions.

You can buy or lease it and it will do everything you want - and then some :thumbsup

*sarcasm*Yah stop playing around with all that free shit like Linux Apache MySQL NGINX PHP and start paying for software! *sarcasm*

I should clarify. If you know wtf you are doing and actually want to save money and do your own work, a free CMS is more then enough. There is not a single feature on MAS's feature page that is not available on a free CMS or someone with a iota of perl/php knowledge.

So you're saying that engines and frameworks that have thousands of people around the world working 24/7/365 to make them better and that have full open code are worse than scripts that (let's say something crazy) have 100 developers?

I guess companies like Yahoo, CNN, The New York Times, About.com, CNet, Rolling Stone, and even ultra-sensitive information sites like NASA and UK Prime Minister Site are just noobs that aren't serious, just playing games :Oh crap

See more newbies using Wordpress here :Oh crap

I don't mean to say adult CMS scripts are bad, some are better and some are worse. And quite frankly, "free CMS" isn't free either (unless you know how to code and design). But your post is so off base it isn't even funny :(

hey, if you need either a design implemented on any "off the shelf" CMS or a custom CMS built for your exact needs, be sure to check us out by clicking the sig or simply go directly to our custom CMS portfolio :thumbsup

I am sorry but my post was not "off base" at all. Let me clarify what I was saying . .
If you are serious about making money in the adult business, why on earth would you spend your time working on back-end technical stuff? Go and work for a technical company if you want to play with software - if you're here to earn money then concentrate on WHAT EARNS MONEY.
Outsource / pay other people to do the technical stuff and spend your time generating traffic for your site, good quality content for your site, etc . . i.e. work on the stuff that MAKES MONEY - programming a free CSM system won't make you any money. Sure you may save a few thousand dollars but you are missing the big picture - pay the money for MAS or Carma and then spend the huge amount of time you will save on building your adult business.

or..... you hire someone to build you a custom robust CMS for less money? :helpme

I don't see where the OP posted he wants to program, he asked for CMSs. He has the option to hire someone to have a custom one built, buy one standardized script or built one by himself.

On top of that, what you're saying can be applied in an exact opposite way. See, I could buy content, could buy traffic and concentrate in making my members' experience better so they signup and after that rebill and rebill and rebill. That's why a custom system is always better and why the biggest adult companies use custom systems: you can add features on the fly by just paying someone (if you don't have the tech abilities). Bling. And don't tell me MOFOS, BANGBROS, NASTY DOLLARS, ARS, TWISTY'S, etc aren't being serious about money. I know there are other big companies using standard scripts as well. But most of them (if not all) are using highly customized versions with absolutely prohibitive prices for start-up sites/programs.

Furthermore, I think current adult scripts are really good for members areas, but most of them are extremely outdated in terms of front-end capabilities, some of them are several years behind... but if you can't make your surfers pay for to enter your members areas... who cares how good your CMS is managing it? Most people won't see it anyway!

That's why we always recommend a custom CMS system. Or even better, a good CMS for members area and a custom TMS (Tour Management System) for public areas. Differences are day and night. And IMHO, making money is more serious than having some CMS "just because". To us, a CMS/TMS is just the media to achieve a goal, we develop them as a marketing tool that helps our clients to get more sales.

Sadly, most people consider the CMS as the goal itself, as long as it's installed and working, everything is cool. At most, they'll hire a designer to skin their CMS. If you can't see how flawed is that logic, I don't know what to say

PS: at the time of writing this, we're skinning 2 different standard CMS scripts and they will rock, so we have nothing against standard scripts, as a matter of fact we earn more skinning that custom developing :winkwink:

On a side note, here you have some highly customized MAS embers area we did:
