Welcome to SPARC, the heart of your new website.
SPARC is ignition72's content management system (CMS) and the core of much of our work. The beauty of SPARC is twofold:
- It allows untrained, non-technical personnel to control any or all aspects of a web site, giving you a dynamic site that is always fresh, and
- It can be customized to fit the needs of any organization.
This includes: loading, displaying and handling content; tracking users; managing domains; displaying news and portfolios; and much more. The system has fully integrated users and groups, a backup capability to keep files safe, as well as the ability to protect pages and restrict access to specific users.
SPARC is built using PHP and runs in a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySql, and PHP) server environment, a tried and true way to keep websites running smoothly without requiring special hosting needs.
SPARC is currently in version 3.0, with most of its predecessors still online and running efficiently. Contact us now to see how simple SPARC is to use.
