Backstage makes it simple for non-technical people to manage their websites fully on their own.
It's the only intuitive content management system (CMS) that puts you in control and provides you with free, one-call, personalized support.
Even Internet neophytes can update content and market their websites, all on their own. Take a look at how individuals at the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport use Backstage to update and market their website.
Free, personalized Backstage training & support.
With free Backstage support only a phone call away, you can get the help you need when you need it. If you are local, drop by and get some one-on-one training. If you're at your computer, feel free to use the built-in online chat feature or give us a call. Our staff is trained to personally walk you through the use of any feature of your site with words you can understand. Repeatedly, our bi-annual customer satisfaction surveys tell us that our customers are very satisfied and that we always explain things to them in a way they can clearly understand.
"Before switching to Backstage, we were relying heavily on our website developers to continually update content on several areas of our site. Now, our office staff is able to change and update, on their own, all content on the site. Backstage's customer support is available...to answer any questions our staff may have."

Free hosting is just one more benefit of Backstage.
Every website we build gets our basic hosting package for free. But free hosting doesn't just include free storage space on our servers for your website, it includes regular daily and weekly backups, and comes with the highest levels of oversight and support to ensure that your site stays running perfectly. We take your website, and the management of it, seriously.
Always custom-fit to you.
We welcome any idea. Most content management systems (CMS) lock your site's design into a box, limiting you and requiring that your site must be tailored more to the CMS than to your wants and desires. Any custom-functionality you'd like quickly becomes burdensome to manage and very non-intuitive. With Backstage, we welcome your ideas - and because we built Backstage from the ground up, we tailor our CMS to easily accommodate them, not the other way around.
Refuse to blend in with everyone else. Branding is all about clearly differentiating yourself. While we understand that the do-it-yourself template might be a cheap alternative, it also cheapens the effectiveness of your brand and limits your ability to get results by making you blend into the crowd. We hand-craft every one of our sites to engage your target audience, be easy to navigate, fit the unique look and feel of your organization's brand, and nail each of your specific goals. So if you're looking for cookie cutter, or a cheap alternative, we're not your agency. We're about differentiating your company, making your site stand above the rest to get the results you want.

We listen to our customers.
Our customers love to send us their own ideas for new Backstage features and then see them come to life in a future upgrade. Approximately every six weeks (11 times sooner than our local competitors) we roll out a new set of features, complete with an e-mail to all Backstage users that lists new features and carefully explains how each feature works. The goal of each Backstage upgrade is to add features that truly make our customer's lives easier and save them more time. If a feature seems complicated, we go back to the drawing board to redesign it so that it can be more intuitive. We focus on how our customers use Backstage and create interfaces that just make sense, without any training. Since we built our product from the ground up (unlike many of our competitors), we are able to tailor any Backstage to fit the needs and desires of each of our customers.
"Your Creative People has exceeded my expectations as a full service marketing agency. While their web design and print work are top notch, their service is what distinguishes them as a company. Friendly employees are always there to pick up the phone when you call and requests are dealt with in a timely manner. I would suggest YCP to anyone looking to develop their company brand and marketing strategy." - Jonathan Pavoni, Frontline Placement Technologies • More Testimonials
