Are you having difficulties getting hold of the skin you would like for your site or perhaps you have seen a template but is is unavailable as a DNN skin?

Why not let us convert it for you.

The conversion types we offer are;

i] Conversion of standard html templates to *.ascx files
We use Visual Studio 2005 to build and assign Web User Controls [*.ascx] to the templates, which results in an installable zip file you can easily upload to your site.

ii] Conversion of standard html templates to DNN HTML templates using an XML support file.
For this method we use Dreamweaver to build the templates and the assign tokens to the page which are supported by and XML file.

What do you need from me?

The existing template
Images associtated with the template
CSS file associated with the template

We’ve just released a new addon which we’ve found amazingly useful in the past, so we thought we’d package it up and let other people buy it too.

It’s our “Site Suspender” addon (which can also be used on non-vpasp systems as it’s generic/non-conflicting).

It’s the session-related independance of it, and the password protected override aspect that’s the best part; it means that you can swap your xshopid values to anything you like but your site would still remain down when you want it to be; really useful for stuff like upgrades. Means that you can still access everything even though the site’s down for everyone else.

And yes, we know all about the shopclosed config option, but we’ve always needed to use a tool which is independant of the vpasp config settings so that we can swap things around during upgrades/conversions and so that we could access everything (including customer pages) even when normal visitors can’t.

And if you haven’t downloaded our hacker-check tool, do so now:

If you are thinking about upgrading to VPASP 6.5 why not let us do it for you. Depending on which version of VPASP you are upgrading from depends on the complexity of the process.

How Long does it take?
Every installation has variations in its structure whether this relates to added bolt-ons, bespoke customisation, etc.

We always recommend to clients that we undertake a complete analysis of the existing site before work is started. This takes 1 hour and is charged at our standard rate.

Conversion process
The most efficient way for us to convert the system is to first build it separately, aside from the main site. This ensures that we keep down time to a minimum throughout the process.

There are two ways in which we can do this;

1] Build the system on your server, using a sub directory off of the live site and a new database.

2] Build on our servers and when system is ready to be released transfer the site files to your live server, after backing up.
