Flash CMS

Hey all,

I know this is the showcase forum but i think i posted it right, although i got some questions because i'm no webdesigner.. i mean my profession is not being a webdesigner.

However.. first of all my question is: can i call this thing i made a CMS (Content management system)?

Second question: how much should i charge for this?
As you see in the picture the user can update,add and delete following things: News, journeys, pictures (gallery) and a filemanagement application.
They use the filemanager for manage galleries on the website.. or whatever they like, but mainley manage galleries.
Everything in this application is custom made.. comboboxes, scrollers, filemanager, input textboxes, texteditor etc. except for the icons.

Before this, the user could manage the news ofcourse, and if they wanted to manage the gallery they had to login with FTP. But they journeys weren't dynamic.
The website look lik this: http://www.beuniq.se/resor
Language in swedish, sorry. But they sell "dance journeys".

I'm not too sure what to ask for either - but I've been thinking of just adding a set fee for the use of it on a website, Ie website = £800 + £200 for the use of the CMS.

I'd love to chat about what you've built it on etc and how you're implimenting it onto clients sites.

Send me a meesage on here and I'll send you a link to the CMS, see what you think.

Charge high for this. Flash CMSs (yes this is a CMS) are very difficult and hard to come across.

Yeah, a webdesigner-friend told me the same thing. He told me to charge as much as the website itself.. the website is a very simple one though.
Because this CMS almost puts me entirely out of the picture.. except if they want to change the design or whatever..

Since this is my first 'client', and the charge is unofficial, i'm gonna make it a bit cheeper but still to be in it for me..

dude, charge a bit higher. i do agree with alexgeek there, i haven't seen a lot of flash CMSes out there:) even if it is your first.

unless you charged per hour or something;)
