WEB Newsletter CMS System



This application is designed to work in conjunction with the free CMS system PDQ Portal (http://www.pdqportal.com). It allows HTML newsletters to be created from the documents in the Content Management System. The HTML in the newsletters is compatible with the Notes email client as well as a wide variety of other clients.

Every site needs a newsletter feature. While useful site content can attract visitors, only followup emails can ensure that they keep coming back. However, creating newsletters can be time consuming.

This newsletter manager allows content already posted in the PDQ CMS system to be added to a newsletter with a click. Images and formatting are automatically converted as required to ensure accurate HTML formatting in all mail clients (even Notes clients).
