Re: [WebDNA] Client wants backup copy of site

texte = We have 2 CMS' over here. The Version 1 CMS is rather big and customizable. But there are parts of it that we protect at all costs because it took us a lot of money to develop those features. If the customer has FTP access to the site we encrypt the pages every time they are changed. If the customer asks for a CD copy of the site we also encrypt those pages. The Version 2 CMS is provided as a "service" and the customer signs up for it as-is, no customization. If they decide to leave, they can get an HTML version of their site without the CMS.
