Original Web Solutions Base Architecture

I started the Original Web Solutions Base Architecture or OWS Network Architecture back in 2000.

The original design was meant to allow non profit organizations to manage their web site content using a Content Management System or CMS.

Then we got a couple of e-commerce web sites, and we started branching out.

All of our sites start with our core architecture which is made up of the following systems and components:

Site Manager - Gives you a CMS to manage all the standard content on your web site.

• Page Manager
• File Manager
• Image Manager
• Site Map
• Graphical Look

Marketing Manager - Gives you a basic set of marketing tools to ensure your site is found.

• Link Manager
• Keyword Manager
• Glossary Manager

Traffic Manager - Shows you some analytics on who is visiting your site and when.

• Browser Report
• Keyword Report
• Operating System Report
• Page Views Report
• Referrer Report
• Search Engine / BOT Report
• Site Traffic Report
• Unique Visit Report

Account Manager - Allows you to manager your account with Original Web Solutions

• Admin User Manager
• Viewer User Manager
• Ticket Manager

That is the core of the OWS Network architecture. We take this base architecture and "wrap a graphical look around it". It gives you the ability to manage the core of your web site, market it, and evaluate visitors to your web site.

Once you have the core architecture setup, a graphical look and you point a domain name towards it, you have a web site.

That is enough for 60% of our customers to have a quality web presence. However the other 40% want more and we start adding systems on from there.

Original Web Solutions Network

I am starting this blog and dedicating it just to what my wife and I call the OWS Network. The OWS Network is the platform we have built our business on starting in 1999.

We are just completing the rollout of Version 4.0 of the OWS Network. I am continuing to definen the base architecture and the add-on systems to this platform.

Blogger is really helping me get my thoughts together on my general technology research so I figured it would do the same for my companies platform work.

Stay tuned for more.
