For Government agencies and not-for-profits, web sites are becoming core work resources that have to be better integrated with their business systems, their marketing and campaigning, and their membership activities.

At Social Change Online we are creating a series of web site modules designed to make management of these activities easier and more productive for our clients. They range from online payments systems to political campaigning tools.

In the past year we've also had the privilege of being asked to write the Australian Government's eStrategy Guide for not-for-profits. That Guide is now available (free) online.

We are committed to helping our clients make the most of the opportunities available to use the internet to better meet the needs of their clients and members, to better communicate and to more effectively campaign.

	Featuring and Linking Information One of the great new features that's now standard in AIMS is Links. This allows site administrators to add links and features to any article or topic. This is a very useful way to provide information links or features that relate to the main article. Its often used to provide high visibility and fast access to items such as bookings, donate, join or other relevant information. It also supports links to external sites.

	Adding multimedia to your web site Organisations are discovering that websites are an ideal platform for delivering multimedia content such as images, audio and video. When done properly, multimedia can be presented seamlessly with other content and can be searched for and found in the usual ways.

	Annual software upgrades now available with AIMS-Lite A problem that many of our clients face is that of keeping site technology and features up to date.

	AIMS News There are a number of exciting new AIMS modules in the works. Examples include: Form Builder - create and publish your own forms Comment on this! - allows site visitors to comment on articles/stories.
