edit HTML pages and upload images.

| Site Activity Reports |
Merlin has serveral reports that will give you an accurate picture
on how many people are accessing your website. Reports include:
- User Activity Report - Shows number of daily visitors,
number of page hits, total site hits, and total network traffic.
Can be displayed in a report or as a graph. An excellent indicator
of how busy your site is.
- Daily Log Report - Shows the IP addresses that have
connected. Includes first connection date and page hits by IP.
- Page Activity Report - Shows how many times each page
in your site is getting hit. A great way to show the most popular
pages!
- HTTP Error Report - Provides a log of all errors encountered
as users browse your site. Picks up bad links and "page not found"
errors - making it easy for you to make an "error-free" site.
|
| Server-Side Scripts |
Merlin's scripting language is MultiBase - a language derived from
the popular dBASE and FoxBASE database languages. We are constantly
adding scripts for our clients to allow them to add more powerful
features to their web sites.
Some popular scripts include:
- Site search by keyword - allows users to enter keywords
to search the site for matching pages. We provide the scripts to
add to the web pages. In addition, we have tools in the backoffice
to allow you to create search indexes from your web pages.
- Contact form - create a form
requesting information from your users and use our script to
automatically email the user input data. Can be used for any data.
- Server-side "Includes" - makes it easy to create page
headers and footers that plug in automatically into all the pages
of your web site. This saves you from having to duplicate header/
footer code throughout your site.
