What Backstage Does

It's Just That Easy

"I think Backstage is one of YCP's most attractive products. I have been using Backstage for nearly two years, and I have been so pleased with how easy it is for me and others in our ministry to login and keep the website up to date. Our church gets a lot of compliments on how well-designed and intuitive our website is. But most people don't realize that behind that great-looking website is an equally intuitive backstage we use to manage it. Thanks, YCP team!" - Jonathan Threlfall, Youth Pastor, Bible Baptist Christian School

No matter the type of website,

Backstage makes it simple for you to manage your site's content fully on your own. It’s the easiest website content management system (CMS) on the planet that’s fully featured, hosted by us and backed by a live, on-call support team.

Uniquely Tailored to How You Want Your Site to Look

Whether you're launching your first website or a major ecommerce site, Backstage doesn't lock you into its box, but rather scales with you to enable you to have whatever design and feature-set best fits your needs. Since we created Backstage CMS from the ground up, we can customize Backstage to fit any need you throw at us and develop a seamless experience for your visitors.

Do It Yourself (with on-call help if you need it)

"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." - Pat G.

Backstage Makes Apps Updateable Too!

With Backstage, your web or smartphone app doesn't have to suffer from outdated content or fall behind from going through developers for textual updates. Backstage makes it easy to update your apps.

Powerful Lead & Customer Tracking

Every time you log in, your Backstage dashboard shows you how your site is doing, from key traffic numbers, to bounce rate, to the open rates from your last email campaign.
Every lead through your site is tracked using Backstage's Activity Feed which gives you a historical listing of all of your site's activity, almost better than a CRM!
Leads and customers from your site are automatically stored in a robust database so that you can reach out to them or export that list to an Excel file for print mailings.
Contacts who opt-in are automatically added to your email newsletter list (a feature integrated with Backstage) so that you don't have to manually add them later when you are ready to send.
With your contact lists already populated for you, you can use Backstage to send out email newsletters with your next sale, a new product, or a great case study or exciting announcement. Backstage tracks the success of each newsletter campaign for you, down to each member on your list.

When a change is made by an editor, as an administrator you will be alerted with an email and requested to log in to approve the change. Once approved, that editor’s change goes live.

Free Hosting & Live Support

Help Every Step of The Way

"Working with YCP has been a wonderful experience. They took me, a relative computer novice, and helped create a fabulous website that even I could navigate and work with in Backstage. The support staff has helped me every step of the way with any and all questions I needed addressed." - Jodi C.

Free, Turn-key Website Hosting Is Just One More Benefit of Backstage

Hosting can be very technical and that’s why we set up, maintain, and monitor it for you. Our team has servers with some of the most reliable and reputable data centers in the U.S. so that your site loads quickly and always performs beautifully. Backstage, as a proprietary CMS, its source code remains secure, unlike many “open source” platforms today which are very susceptible to hacking.

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 and by our most recent calculations, Backstage has a 99.96% uptime percent.

Free, on-call Backstage training & support

Backstage isn’t an off-the-shelf product that you buy and then you’re on your own. Unlike most CMS systems on the market (and especially unlike the free ones), your Backstage subscription gives you a full support and training team to back you up. Help is available to you by phone, by personal visit (come see us!), by online chat built into the product, and by email. We provide personalized training when we hand off your site, and we are there to answer your questions all along the way.

Our team provides video tutorials (including a full walk-through of how to use your specific Backstage that you can pass around to new employees) in addition to being available for questions and support.

Free Upgrades With Your Ideas

We'd love to hear from you!

Your team is comprised of not only of exceptionally creative and technologically talented designers and programmers but also of brilliant listeners and problem solvers. And, really, that's made all the difference."

We Listen, Develop, and Roll Out Your Ideas

Do you have a great idea that you think others would like too? Ever wish you could influence the direction of your software? With Backstage, you can and those ideas become features that the whole community of users benefits from. And because Backstage CMS is a fully-integrated system (unlike other sites that have multiple pluggins to manage), you don't have to lift a finger or manage incompatible pluggins - upgrades are tested then rolled out for you. Yes, it's just that simple.
