All of your websites can be managed using the DFC Content Management System. This advanced system allows you to maintain and update your websites with little or no programming knowledge. It is easily accessible, password-protected, and allows complete control of your website design and content. Add web pages, images, documents, and audio/video files all with just a few clicks.
Newsletters
With the DFC you can easily create and disseminate email newsletters to your constituencies, using a simple online template-based tool. The application includes a selection of many templates, as well as an ability to create your own look. Complete subscriber management allows you to add a single subscriber or, by uploading a list, multiple subscribers at once. Sophisticated reporting tools tell you how many newsletter opens and clickthroughs, including who opened
Calendars
Online calendars can keep everyone, at any level in your organization, up to date on meetings and events. The DFC offers shared and group calendars with simple web-based administration anyone can use.

Multiple calendars can be created, shared, and viewed at once with color coding.
Email
Every person with a relationship to your organization can have an email account. The DFC uses a Google-powered service with web-based administration. You can easily add email addresses, create email aliases, forward emails to other accounts, receive emails on your mobile devices, manage contacts, and create email lists. Access to your POP email accounts is also available.
