Hi Ian. Shapeshifter is available. Unfortunately it’s commercial (hey, we gotta eat). If you are still interested in the CMS then please drop me a line and I’ll pass your email on to the appropriate fella. |
Who are some other people using Shapeshifter? I noticed the Case Study and Portfolio on the site, but I didn’t notice any bloggers (i.e. frequently updated with syndication). I seems to be a very flexible product! How come there haven’t been any updates since May ‘03? Also, how much does this thing cost (the DB version)? That would probably be good to publish on the site. I don’t want to buy it, but it would be nice to know as I might suggest some customers your way! |
Shapeshifter is mostly used in the educational market at the moment - most of our customers are schools and colleges. For example, via the Virtual Schools Project:
The CMS is also used outside of the educational sector. Examples: Apart from myself, there are no other bloggers using the software.
Did you ever hear the one about the plumber who had a leaky tap at home? That’s how it is here. We’ve been so busy developing the software, building up our reseller network and training customers - that we just never seem to get the time to work on our website. Fear not though, the whole thing is scheduled for a complete revamp over the Christmas holidays.
Prices start at 50 UKP/month. Shapeshifter is provided on a fully managed and hosted basis, with Digital-Word as ASP. There is no standalone (self install) version at this time.
It would be great if you could nudge some customers in our direction. We are happy to discuss a referrer program. |

Are you making your software Shapeshifter available? Is it commercial software or open-source? I would be interested in testing it out :-D
