Product Details
Caribou CMS is a subscription membership website platform written in PHP/MySQL. Caribou can power many subscription web sites right out-of-the-box and, with Caribou's professional custom development services, we guarantee that we can make any website idea you have come true.
Easy content editing
Adding and editing content to your website can't get any easier when you are using the WYSIWYG editor included in Caribou CMS. Edit your web site just as if you were in Microsoft Word, with undo/redo buttons, style tools, and the ability to copy and paste. All of the HTML generated by the editor is validated XHTML 1.1 and experienced webmasters can edit the HTML directly.
Generate custom income reports (and export them)
Easily generate an income report based on specific (or all) products and subscriptions. Simply specify a date range and generate the report. Once generated, you have the option of one-click exporting a CSV file into programs such as Microsoft Excel. Some of these reports are displayed on your control panel dashboard for a quick overview of your web site's operations.
Control every aspect of your site's design with the new theme editor
No one wants to have a cookie cutter website and Caribou CMS gives you the power to change every aspect of the way your web site looks. Simply load up the theme editor in your control panel and begin replacing images, editing HTML templates, editing CSS stylesheets, etc. It's all laid out right in front of you and help is given each step of the way. Your site will have a unique design in no time!
Accept payments automatically and easily
Caribou CMS is integrated with many payment gateways including Authorize.net, PayPal, 2Checkout, and PSiGate. Caribou will accept payments and new memberships automatically. All you need is an account with one of the providers above and Caribou will take care of the rest.
No technical skills required
Do the acronyms PHP, CSS, XHTML, MySQL, or LAMP mean nothing to you? That's fine. Caribou can be used by anyone. However, for all of you who do know what those acronyms mean, don't worry - Caribou CMS is built for the advanced user as well. All of the modules are open source and so you can get right into the code and start making changes. Caribou is built on a set of powerful classes and includes a large function library for fast module development.
Unlimited subscription products
Don't limit yourself to just one subscription tier. With Caribou, you can create an unlimited number of subscription products and member groups. So, if you want to have Premium Subscribers, Gold Subscribers, and Platinum Subscribers - you can.
Protect each piece of content differently
Whenever you add a page, article, download, or image gallery to your web site, you can specify which user groups have permission to view it (and if they can post comments). This allows you to publish some content publically and protect other content, enticing users to purchase a subscription. You have complete control over who views your content with Caribou.
Search engines love Caribou
Unlike our competitors, we understand what search engine optimization really is. With Caribou, your URL's will be filled with keywords. They can be generated automatically by Caribou or manually specified for each content piece. Also, Caribou's default templates are coded in semantic XHTML with proper headings and content flow for search engines to parse and understand. The bottom line: your web site will be primed for top search engine rankings.
Security for you and your visitors
Caribou allows you to add an SSL certificate and force HTTPS access to your order pages, protecting your visitor's private personal and billing information. As well as protecting your visitors, Caribou uses security techniques to protect you from user's sharing login information. The software is built to merchant account requirements (no credit card information is stored, for example).
