Purpleblocks features
Purpleblocks is available in two versions; our basic version will get you up and running in no time with a custom design and all the functionality highlighted below. Prices start from as little as £3,000, giving you a future-proof extensible base from which to grow.
The full version has the added benefits of multi-lingual functionality, multi-site management and a powerful drag and drop products manager. Prices start from £5,000.
Because we have designed and built Purpleblocks from the ground up, we can offer you a bespoke development service, adding blocks which are specific to your organisation, meaning you get the exact functionality you require rather than a 'nearest fit' offered with open source products.
Purpleblocks is built using Microsoft ASP.NET technologies and is fully extensible. The heart of Purpleblocks is what we refer to as the 'trunk' and we can build as many branches as you desire using our in house development team.
We can also offer integration and 'mash up' services allowing you to integrate third party applications and services.
