dotnetnuke or EKTRON website

**Project description** To replace the existing CRM related website, we have the content ready to be pasted into the new site, the site I now have has been butchered by the inhouse team, it is weak, lacks content, rates poorly on search engines and the CSS is aweful and I want it cleaned up, have attached image of dotnetnuke skin I want. **Target Audience **1. **Existing Customers, Entry-level CRM Customers** seeking new installations, **Existing entry level CRM users and New customers** with little or no previous experience in CRM or sales or business administration of leads). Sophisticated CRM experienced Clients who want feature rich solution. 2. ** Inhouse Sales, Marketing and administration** Some of our team work remote from the office and everyone needs the ability to process a payment, to complete their timesheets so that activity can be seen by all others on the team in order that we don’t get revenue leakage. To work remotely they need access to the helpdesk. And the list of projects they are working on so a project management module is important.** **3. **Resellers and Partners and Franchisees at some stage** who are looking to have own business with the ability to request software keys, they need to see the partner area of the knowledge base and to access support material that we may not wish to share in the public area, the login should determine what they see if possible. Overall its the framework that I am interested, you will hand me control of the website, we will drive it thereafter, we may come back to you for additional dotnetnuke modules and would value experienced input. ## Deliverables To install dotnetnuke or EKTRON CMS as our new website in the skin style below to provide various levels of access by product and team that is controlled ultimately by one person who in turn can empower others to manage other areas of the site. we need to provide A.
