What is MD-Pro?
MaxDev is proud to introduce MD-Pro, the most complete, flexible and reliable CMS available on the market.
A CMS is an application that provides for the display and management of the contents of a web site. MD-Pro carries
this many steps farther by making this management simple yet powerful. Your
MD-Pro powered web site can be updated in seconds without any knowledge of programming or HTML. MD-Pro can be configured to allow your site users
to send news, comment on existing news, vote in polls, administer their own account via a simple graphical interface
and much more.
Normally you must pay for technology this simple and powerful. CMSs available today, cost from several thousand dollars to several hundred
thousand dollars. Thanks to the work of many Open Source development communities
however, today there are a variety of no cost CMSs published
under GNU/GPL.
