Pilot CMS packages

Pilot CMS provides the flexibility to make changes and additions whenever you need to and to preview the changes before you publish. The range of Pilot CMS packages have been designed to suit businesses and organisations of all types and sizes but if there is something extra you want e.g an events calendar, further add on modules can be developed to ensure that your website does everything you need it to.

The features of all the available packages are listed below or you can directly compare the packages here.

It is possible to 'mix and match' some features between licences e.g. the site search feature from Pilot Classic pro to a Pilot Classic licence to ensure that your site does exactly what you need it to. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Pilot is designed to be simple and easy to use, support and a user guide (electronic format) are provided. However if you feel as though additional training is required then this can be purchased either on a one to one basis or as group training. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

If you don't have any images to use on your website, we can source and purchase stock images for you at a cost of £8.00 per image. We can also input the initial content into Pilot for you at a cost of £10.00 per page (assuming the data is in an electronic format).

*To use any of the Pilot Shop packages you will need to sign up with a payment service provider (this may incur third party charges). Pilot can integrate with any payment provider including RBS WorldPay/WorldPay, PayPal, Google Checkout and Sage Pay (formerly Protx).
