The Pixel Parlor uses a platform designed especially for do-it-yourself site management. You can log in to your administration area 24/7 from any computer and access e-mail, mailing lists, Web stats, and any part of your Web site anytime from any locale through a password protected area.
Site builder and hosting is provided through The Pixel Parlor by KarmaCMS and HostKarma.
Features include:
-
Do-It-Yourself Content ManagementKarmaCMS is a flexible, powerful and user-friendly CSS/XHTML site builder that allows your organization to be in charge of your content. There's no limit to how many modules you can install, and each module offers great flexibility while being easy enough for a novice to understand, and sophisticated enough to accommodate advanced users.
It's ideal for groups that want to keep their costs low through do-it-yourself site management. If you'd rather have us manage the updates for you, we offer an affordable ongoing maintenance service. -
Reliable, First-Class, "No-Limit" HostingHostKarma places no arbitrary limits on disk usage, bandwidth, e-mail accounts, or any other service. You are simply billed on a sliding scale based on resource usage. Daily statistics make it easy for you to see where the money is going, so you don't have to worry about high overage costs.
The Karma Sites servers are equally distributed between two geographically separated datacenters (Los Angeles and Chicago), and each server has a "hot spare" that is kept in the opposite datacenter and synchronized every four hours. A hot spare can take over from its primary in under an hour, ensuring that there is minimal downtime even in the event of a major natural disaster. -
Detailed Web StatisticsComprehensive statistics are generated every night that include virtually everything you'll want to know about visitors to your site, including but not limited to unique visitors, repeat visitors, number of hits, IP addresses, countries of origin, browser types, OS types, and the search engine terms that were used to find the site. Many colorful graphs too!
-
Unlimited E-mail AddressesYou'll be free to create as many custom e-mail addresses as you need. Karma supports catch-all addresses, e-mail forwarding, autoresponders, Webmail, IMAP and POP3 access (Outlook, Thunderbird, Mac Mail, etc are all supported).
-
Unlimited Mailing ListsYou can create unlimited mailing lists backed by Karma's server-based mailing list software. Karma's mailing lists totally automate subscriptions and cancellations, and will automatically purge addresses.
