Where to use CMS 1C Bitrix. What is Bitrix. Bitrix software products
I promised to devote a separate article "1C-Bitrix" software products, and now I fulfill this promise. The article is a review, in it I will not delve into technical details and features of the application of the program code, for this there is a detailed documentation available to everyone on the company's official website.
Here I will talk about the important features of the Bitrix Framework platform, as well as about the software products created on this platform. The article is intended primarily for users who seek to understand whether those or other Bitrix develops are needed for their business, and what is their features. Also, information from this article may be useful developers who work with other CMS, but also want to get some idea about Bitrix.
IN lately I often come across the integration of sites with CRM systems and product accounting programs and money. Most often in our country integration is required with different versions and 1C configurations. Also, often customers at the time of appeal to me either have already managed to create a bitrix site, or are interested in the possibility of transition to this engine, since 1C company recommends it as a system in which there is everything you need to automate the data exchange. Numerous questions and accumulated practical experience Working with Bitrix sites became those factors, thanks to which I remembered a long promise to talk in detail about Bitrix and still wrote this article.
What is Bitrix?
I propose from the definition of the very concept of Bitrix. Usually this name is used in two versions:- Bitrix is \u200b\u200bthe name of the software developer.
- Bitrix - Wednesday to develop web applications, so-called Bitrix Framework.
A bit of history
To begin with, let's talk about the company to understand where the Bitrix software came from and why its name was exactly the same. Bitrix was founded back in 1998 immediately after the financial crisis as a web studio specializing in the development of Internet sites under the order. In the early 2000th, the company creates and begins to develop its own CMS system, which also calls "Bitrix". The first versions of CMS Bitriks were not fundamentally different from many other site engines, while in 2007 the company 1C did not bother the Bitrix stake in 2007, after which the site management system was called "1C-Bitrix".It is important to understand that after such a merger of companies and the subsequent change in the product name occurred at the level of business and marketing, i.e. combined companies, united brand, and technical solutions For the most part, the former remained - each program product (1C and Bitrix) their own.
Very often, users, focusing on the name and advertising from the company 1C, come to the conclusion: if the company uses 1C and seeks to create an online store, then it is best to choose CMS Bitrix for this, because these products under one brand and 1C developers also recommend It is this engine as the best to exchange data with the 1C program.
Similarly, on the contrary, if there is an online store on Bitrix and the owner comes to the conclusion about the need to automate sales, then from all the options for accounting systems, it will most likely choose 1C software products.
In fact, Bitrix and 1C are different products created by different companies, and developers of these products work absolutely independently of each other. It is impossible to even say that 1C developers are focused on their work on the needs of the Bitrix users or vice versa, that the Bitrix developers take into account some innovations from 1C. And the union of titles is exclusively marketing By step, you must admit, very successful. That is, this move can be considered a good course precisely from the marketing side, I can't give the technical side of positive examples from the merger.
Bitrix as a software product
All Bitrix software products are based on Bitrix Framework. If you contact the 1C-Bitrix assistance section, you can see such a definition:Bitrix Framework is a PHP-based PHP platform for web application development. On this platform, 1C-Bitrix has created two popular products: "1C-Bitrix: Site Management" and "1C-Bitrix: Corporate Portal".
Such a definition is clear for web developers, but nothing tells to users. Therefore, I will try to explain simplifically what is we talking about.
Framework is a kind of "frame", platform for creating software products.
PHP is a programming language on which this "frame" is written.
Based on this "carcass", this platform company Bitrix has created "1C-Bitrix: Site Management" and "1C-Bitrix: Corporate Portal" software products. These are ready-made CMS, which can be installed on hosting, configure and work with them, as with any other site management system.
From a technical point of view, Bitrix software products (sites and mobile applications) are created based on the Bitrix Framework's own platform.
- Today, these software products are represented by the following solutions:
- 1C-Bitrix: Site Management. System for creating websites and online stores.
- 1C-Bitrix: Corporate portal. Platform for creating powerful corporate portals.
- Mobile applications based on Bitrix Framework (Mobile versions of sites, etc.)
- Various finished sectoral solutions.
The development of software products on the Bitrix Framework platform is engaged in a narrow circle of programmers consisting of company specialists. This is a commercial product, and therefore such a limitation can be considered an advantage. Updates of software products are predictable and understandable, the approach to work is practiced complex, and new functions usually work exactly as stated.
Also, the company is very responsible for the work of its store of add-ons and Marketplace applications. Suggest a development for this store can not only company employees, but also third-party developers. But any proposed product passes with strict premocodulation, the solution is tested by the specialists of the Bitrix company, and only after their approval appears in public affairs.
From the minuses of this approach, it should be noted that the number of extensions (modules) is much less than that of products with a free license, and they are much less diverse. It is understandable - the number of developers is not limited to the size of the company.
What is the "carcass"? Read more about Bitrix Framework
Bitrix Framework is a set of ready-made modules and components, i.e. "Bricks", of which the Bitrix programmers create software products. In principle, the Bitrix Framework platform any programmer may, if you want to use to create your own software solutions, also ready-made Bitrix products can be easily finalized as the user needs.Bitrix Framework - open source solution, i.e. A programmer can refine your program product Bitrix as you like, restrictions on access to software modules And their code in this system is not. But at the same time Bitrix Framework - a solution that is supplied based on licenses. Those. Install and use software products based on Bitrix Framework you can on such a number of computers, how many licenses you bought.
For comparison: 1C software products are also supplied with licensing, but you can only modify the configuration, the kernel (the basis of the software product) for programmers is not available. In the Bitrix programmer can make any changes, including in the core. And, for example, Drupal is an open source system, but without licensing.
In order to understand how the Bitrix software solutions work, you need to know that each of them consists of the kernel (platform) and add-on modules. Those. There is a programming language (PHP) on which the kernel is written. The kernel is prescribed certain capabilities, rules, the tools that developer can enjoy. When creating a software product required tools Connected and configured, if necessary, the kernel may also be finalized. And when working with a finished software product, you can also adjust the platform, but more often it remains inviolable, and improvements are made using various external modules.
It should also be borne in mind that the platform already includes a list of basic modules that can be connected or disconnected if necessary. And therefore, for example, in the corporate portal there is a "shopping basket" module, it would seem completely there unnecessary. But since he entered the basic set, it is present in all the Bitrix software products.
Next, the user (moderator, site administrator, etc.) can be operated with ready-made tools, and to create content, upload goods and so on.
Bitrix software products
Software products Bitrix differ from each other predominantly a set of modules that entered the finished decision, and are divided into categories by the type of site, which may be required in one way or another:- Solution "1C-Bitrix: Site Management" is a software product that is used to develop online stores, business card sites and such projects.
- The "1C-Bitrix: Corporate Portal" solution is best suited for large companies and for any business, where you need a corporate portal.
- Sectoral solutions are specialized solutions based on Bitrix Framework, which provide modules for organizing work in a particular industry.
1C-Bitrix: Enterprise - solution for large Internet projects.
Also in a separate direction it is worth highlighting the product "1C-Bitrix: Mobile application", which is used to create mobile versions of sites or online stores, as well as other types of applications for mobile deviceswhich after creation can be uploaded to download or sell in the App Store or Google Play.. This software product is also a finished platform, thanks to which the creation of mobile applications is much faster and easier than the work of the programmer from scratch.Also once again remind you that any product 1C-Bitrix after purchase can be refined at any level, ranging from all external modules and add-ons and ending with the modifications of the kernel.
1C-Bitrix. Site management
"Site Management" is a software product designed to create and manage online stores, business card sites, etc. There is a huge amount of editors of this software product, but they are all intended for one purpose - the creation of the site and its further maintenance (filling, editing, etc.).Initially, Bitrix was created as the engine (CMS) to create online stores, and therefore "Management of the site" has a very wide range of features and rich functionality. On the other hand, all wealth of the possibilities of this engine are infrequent. You can rarely see several catalogs on the Bitrix site, there are practically no marketing capabilities, since all these functions are not needed for most online stores, but still they are among the capabilities of the software product and you can connect them at any time.
When creating an online store using the product management product:
- Install on hosting itself "Engine";
- Set the design, set up information pages;
- Configure the catalog of goods and managing the basket (shopping);
- If necessary, connect payment systems, data exchange with the accounting program, etc.
Important! The system "1C-Bitrix. Website Management "requires a wide list of hosting capabilities, some hosting companies even introduce special tariff plans For "online shopping on Bitrix", it is important to remember when choosing a hosting and calculating the cost of supporting the site.
1C-Bitrix: Corporate portal
Corporate portal (English Enterprise Portal) is, in general, a web interface for employee access to corporate data and applications. Wikipedia
1C-Bitrix: A corporate portal is a kind of platform where information is going to the company information center. This is a multifunctional product where you can combine information to a variety of destinations. For example, accounting data company leads in 1C. Accounts, movement of goods in warehouses and sales - in 1C. Trade and warehouse, work with potential and real clients - in the CRM system, technical support is carried out in a specialized customer support service. And the corporate portal allows you to lead all these directions in one place, collect data for management reporting, receive a general deployed picture of the company's work from different points of view. In something, the corporate portal Bitrix resembles a Swiss knife: there is no specialization tool with this tool, but with it you can perform a variety of actions, as the product has tools for the implementation of working with customers, with users, and much more, albeit at a minimum level.
1C-Bitrix: The corporate portal is also positioned as a product that allows the manager to control the entire workflow of the company, for which a variety of reporting is used, also the head can set functions, for example, starting and completing the working day, to set for task units (projects) to establish for They are deadlines and the main stages of implementation. The CRM system, telephony, accounting, accounting, accounting, etc. can also be integrated with the portal.
There are two products from Bitrix, intended for corporate work:
- Bitrix24 - SaaS-solution where you pay access to the "cloud" service. Here you will not need to pay your own hosting and specialist services, all service updates will be available to you without any actions on your part. But at the same time you can enjoy only the functional that the developer offers, as well as solutions from the MarketPlace. Own modifications in Bitrix24 are impossible.
- A corporate portal is a software product with an open code for buyers, which is necessary after the purchase to install on your own hosting. All the settings of this software product you will need to produce yourself. To get updates, you will need to download them and also install on your own. But at the same time, your specialists have access to all the functions of the software product and any refinement will be available to you.
Industry solutions
Specialized sectoral solutions are the Site Management System with all the functions available in the basic version, complemented by pre-installed superstructures for organizing work in a particular industry. For example, such solutions are very popular to organize medical institutions, budget organizations, educational institutions, etc.There are already special questionnaires for creating a patient's medical record or entrepreneur registration, tax payer, the future property owner, etc. etc. Implemented options for the sequence of actions when writing to a specialist, payment of state duty, service bills, as well as other modules needed to create a convenient site for a particular industry.
1C-Bitrix: Enterprise
This solution intended for the implementation of large and complex projects is sold at a very high price (from 1,499,900 rubles) Bitrix positions this product as a solution for companies, ready to maximize the Internet and e-commerce. The product includes all existing modules and add-ons and the implementation of a wide variety of features that can only be submitted. The developers argue that the product simultaneously with a huge number of opportunities also has an incredible degree of scalability and flexibility and guarantee extended technical support. Is it worth using such an expensive and powerful product, to solve only you. Some large trading networks Successfully work with this solution, others prefer to implement work based on the usual "Site Management" functionality. It all depends on the scale of the project and the demand of that wide list of possibilities that the developers offer for the price specified above.
A few words about MarketPlace
If you wish, you can also buy or download ready-made solutions for any of the software products through your own 1C-Bitrix MARKETPLACE applications. Here there are a lot of diverse templates, solutions for integration with different software products and systems, additional modules for the implementation of a variety of functions. These solutions are also supplied with open source, i.e. If desired, they can be refined under their own needs. But it is important to understand that after making any changes to the code, technical support for these solutions is not provided. Important: The Bitrix core, like the 1C kernel, also needs to be updated regularly. Although these updates are not so critical as for software products 1C, but also there are nuances here.
When updating the core of the software product, any superstructures and applications from MarketPlace can stop working, and therefore it will take a re-testing of these features after the update and, if necessary, download and install updates for them separately. Also, the update becomes inaccessible or problematic in case of changes to the code of the software product.
Composite site is another technology that 1C-Bitrix developers actively advertise. They position composite sites as an opportunity to combine high boot speed with all the functions of a modern dynamic site. How it works:
- Site pages are divided into static and dynamic parts.
- To quickly display the static part, caching is actively used.
- Dynamic part The system loads in the background and also caches in the browser.
Those. When you first appeal to a composite site, a regular page loading is running
From the user's browser to the site on hosting is an appeal. The site forms the answer, i.e. A full-fledged page with all images and other types of content. The user waits for downloading all information on the computer and sees a full page.
Composite sites after that most of the page (images, video, other static information) are saved in the system cache. And when repeated circulation, the presence of a copy of the static part of the page in the cache is taken into account, and therefore only the dynamic part is generated, the rest is loaded from the cache. Due to this, the download speed increases significantly.
Usability 1C-Bitrix products
The usability of the Bitrix software products is very peculiar. Initially, Bitrix developers for their CMS used a special approach, which is largely not coinciting with other popular content management systems. The number of features that are laid in Bitrix software products are very large and even more increased with each release. And if many other CMS are arranged on the principle - there is a small and relatively simple kernel, to which you can connect a wide variety of solutions as needed, the Bitrix tries to invest in the software product "everything immediately".As a result, there is a phenomenon as overtaking, in the software solutions "1C-Bitrix" too much code and capabilities that are most often used. This, in turn, leads to an increase in the complexity of the entire system. As a result, not only users, but very often even programmers are difficult to understand the usability of software products and understand where it is possible to configure. Unfortunately, this drawback is a turnover side of powerful and multifunctional solutions, which is important to consider when choosing a product to create a website or corporate (joint) work.
Summary
1C-Bitrix software products are very powerful modern tools for creating websites, corporate portals and mobile applications. But it is necessary to understand that these technologies are only one of the options for solutions available in the modern market. Bitrix has high level Ending and certain specifics. And therefore, before deciding on the use of a particular software product, it is very important to familiarize yourself with the various proposals on the market, and also consult with specialists.Of the advantages, in addition to the above features, it is also worth noting that software products and all the documentation are Russian-speaking, as well as the presence of many partner solutions for integrating Bitrix with other systems.
The minuses are the complexity of software products for users (self-administration of sites is difficult, and the setting without the help of specialists is almost impossible), as well as the most affordable price.
Work or not with these software solutions - Personal selection of each. I believe that even for integration with 1C, the use of the bitms is not necessary, there are other methods of organizing data exchange. On the other hand, for complex and large projects, this powerful system with wide opportunities can be a suitable solution.
When checking the site in the W3C Validator, The Type Attribute IS Unnecessary for JavaScript Resources error often occurs. This means that the Type \u003d "Text / JavaScript" attribute for the Script tag is not needed. It is considered obsolete.
For scripts that we obviously connect in the code to remove the outdated attribute is not a problem, but what about the scripts added via the Bitrix API? This attribute is added automatically.

12 Myths about "1C-Bitrix: Site Management"
For almost 5 years, the development of sites on the 1C-Bitrix platform I often faced various kinds of prejudices, and sometimes in general and absurd delusions about this CMS. In this article I will try to dispel these speculations and myths.
CMS. (From English Content Management System Content Management System) - This software that allows users to place or change the information posted on the site without attracting site developers. This means that the user does not necessarily have programming skills to, for example, publish news, article or add an image on its website.
I work with CMS 1C-Bitrix for almost 5 years, as it says: I did sites on the bitrix, when it was not yet mainstream and I can say boldly that this system now suits me completely and closes almost all possible tasks with which comes to us client. I managed to work with many popular CMS and some frameworks and in 95% of projects I will choose exactly "1C-Bitrix" as a tool for implementation. It cannot be said that this system is ideal, she has its own minuses that are missing in a number of free Site Management Systems, but all its advantages with interest overlap a small number of disadvantages, which are less and less every year, and the system becomes more versatile and flexible .
"1C-Bitrix: Website Management" is a flexible and multifunctional system that is suitable for creating most projects from small to large and high-loaded portals and online stores.
For another year in 2010, the "1C-bitmix" had many flaws for which he could criticize the whole day in a row two brigades, perhaps it was from those times and most of the stamps regarding this system were heard. Despite those problems that there were no place to be 5 years ago and are not at all at all relevant, I still hear the view that "1C-Bitrix" is a good poorer sitting management system. On my question: "Why do you think so?", Most often, the interlocutor cannot clearly answer or begins to bring the only one and most important, in his opinion the argument is that "1C-Bitrix" paid system. That is, it turns out we know that "1C-Bitrix" is shit bad CMS, but I do not remember why.
I picked up the most frequent misconceptions and questions from customers, colleagues of the developers and try to answer them.
1. We are a small company and we have a small budget. We have heard that the products of the company "1C-Bitrix" are suitable only for large web projects.
"1C-Bitrix: Site Management" will suit almost any projects, and the cost of editing depends on the needs of each individual web site. The total cost of the project is often independent of which CMS is used. Sometimes it turns out exactly the opposite: when using the CMS "1C-Bitrix: Site Management" you avoid the cost of developing many components and site functions, as they are already included in the editor, and it remains only to configure them correctly at the same time to reduce the development time.
2. Why do we need to buy "1C-Bitrix: Management Site" if we can order a site on free CMS?
The main advantage at which first should be paid attention to if you create a website for your business - this is a guarantee that gives you a commercial system. This is characterized by the technical support of your project, the release of regular updates, including security, assistance in solving any non-standard issues.
If you choose free CMS, you will fully depend on the company that develops the site, the concept of alienation here in most cases is not applicable. It is also important that the developers of free systems, as a rule, are not paying due attention. As a result, many vulnerabilities of such systems are known and are not closed for a long time, and this is a huge risk for business. Did you often hear about the Bitrix vulnerabilities found? I have not heard about them since 2010, but stably several times a year hear about new critical vulnerabilities in free CMS, such as Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, which allow you to get either full, or partial access over the site.
3. I heard that "1S-Bitrix" is written crooked and demanding to resources, so you will need a very expensive hosting?
Dear hosting is required for projects with high traffic, with a complex structure and dynamic content. In such situations, there is almost no difference to "1C-Bitrix" a site or another CMS is made, since free analogues benefit in the resource requirements are not much. It happens on the contrary, for sites developed by the editors of the start, which are simple sites with a low attendance of a fairly and cheap virtual hosting for 1,500 - 2,000 rubles. Also, the 1C-Bitrix platform includes unique technological tools, which, with professional use, allow tens of times to increase the speed of the site, the full analogues from other CMS today is not.
4. I am a programmer, I want to make sites on the generally recognized world of CMS with a large community of developers, a bunch of ready-made modules and an open source code.
"1C-Bitrix" The most popular commercial CMS in Runet, which in its share exceeds almost everything free Systems. "1C-Bitrix" is popular not only in Russia and translated into many languages. Since 2010, the initial 1C-Bitrix codes are open. The Bitrix Programmers Community is now very large and gaining qualified assistance in some issue is not difficult, especially if there are Russian-speaking product documentation. In the "1C-Bitrix", a large number of modules, which depend on the editorial, which allow you to implement most of the basic tasks, also exists the Marketplace "1C-Bitrix" with a large number of ready-made modules, components and typical sites, as paid, So free. And unlike most 1C-Bitrix platforms, 1C-Bitrix is \u200b\u200bregularly updated and at least 2 times a year represent a large renewal of the release with the new functionality of the system.
5. Only amateurants make websites to 1C-Bitrix. I will make a site on the fashionable framework, because I am cool.
This is a big misconception. At "1C-Bitrix" it is not difficult to make typical sites on the finished solutions. To make a good non-standard site you need to have good site development skills on PHP and Bitrix-Framework. By making a site on any free framework, you assign many typical tasks that are available in the Britim from the box and well thought out, both from the functionality and the safety side. The customer can spend a lot of time and money before seeing the ready site on the framework, which will give the site on the bitmix to a multitude of parameters. The framework makes sense to use for very simple sites where any administration is not required, or for very complex and loaded projects for which it simply does not make sense to use "1C-Bitrix", such a project can be a small social network or some large portal with a specific The functional, but above such projects, as a rule, a large team of professionals works and makes it on his framework.
6. I heard that sites on 1C-Bitrix work slowly.
Lies and provocation. With competent use special technologieslike caching, CDN, composite, etc. and correctly configure the "1C-Bitrix" system can work faster than its competitors. At today's CMS from "1C-Bitrix" is more demanding more demanding to resources, unlike competitors, but this difference is not great, especially in our days when the power of the servers increases with each day, and the cost of hosting services is reduced. Yes, Bitrix is \u200b\u200bunlikely to get a combination with hosting for 500 rubles a year, but it is worth thinking if you do not have several thousand on hosting, then is it worth starting a business online?
A bright example of the fact that "1C-Bitrix" can be used on large projects, are sites such famous brandslike Eldorado, Sportmaster, Euroset, connected.
7. Promotion and further development of the site on 1C-Bitrix is \u200b\u200bmore complicated than on other CMS
This is a complete error. "1C-Bitrix" does not limit the site for search engine optimization. Moreover, the SEO optimization module that includes all the editions of the product helps to make the work of specialists to promote more comfortable and efficient, facilitating many routine operations. The system also does not limit the possibilities for further refinement and improvement of the project.
8. License "1C-Bitrix" is bought for only 1 year? And then buy again? Why should I be updated if I have a site and so works?
"1C-Bitrix: Site Management" is purchased on an unlimited amount of time. In the first year of use of "1C-Bitrix: Site Management" customers have the right to receive all product updates and technical support with commercial SLA. Subsequently, technical support and updates can be extended for 22% of the value of your edition.
It is not necessary to prolong the license, the site will work without an active license. But we recommend all our customers to extend to get system updates, affiliate support and use some other pleasant buns of the system that only work with an active license.
9. I need a website, with administrator and functionality, configured to my tasks - it is easier for me to pay the programmer and he will write CMS from scratch under me.
To date, only a meager percentage of sites created has a unique functionality that cannot be implemented in 1C-Bitrix. Basically, sites solve similar tasks that are typed and the corresponding modules are already included in the CMS system. The development of this functional from zero today does not make any sense, and most likely will lead to huge temporary and financial costs and in the end to the collapse of the project. In addition, you will always be tied to the system developer, but even at the same time, it is not always possible to achieve high-quality technical support after launch. You can also be sure of the security of your project - 1C-Bitrix products are tested and certified by leading IT security companies.
10. Can we edit information on the site yourself?
One of the important features of the CMS "1C-Bitrix" is that with the competent project implementation, the system allows a person without basic knowledge of the layout and programming can independently edit most of the information (add news, price update, changing the number of goods on the directory page, etc.) .
11. "1C-Bitrix: Site Management" - a finished product, why do I need a developer?
"1C-Bitrix: Site Management" is not a ready-made website, this is a platform for building and managing the site. It happens that customers take a demo, make a minimum of changes in the header of the site, fill with their information and launch the project.
In general, the creation of a site is technical taskFor which specialists are usually needed. Even if the solution of some task seems simple at first glance, a specialist can avoid difficulties and pitfalls by experience, to offer the best solution and make a task faster than the unprepared person after reading the technical documentation.
12. We do not need a bunch of 1C-Enterprise with the site and in general we do not use 1C, so "1C-Bitrix: Website Management" We do not mean to buy.
These are two completely different products, and the presence or absence of one of them does not affect the operation of another. Site based on "1C-Bitrix: Management Site" - a tool for working with clients via the Internet, be informing and collecting information, or selling services and goods through the Internet.
And what else?
This list can be increased several times, I tried to collect basic questions and delusions on the product.
Instead of continuing this list, I will write a couple of rows that I appreciate more in 1C-Bitrix. More to us as companies specializing in site development, like that "1C-Bitrix" always listens to its partners, customers and developers, because together you can make the product even better, many functionality in new versions is implemented, just at the request of customers and Developers, it does not always happen quickly, but if the functionality is really interesting, then it is necessarily introduced at the first opportunity. Also, "1C-Bitrix" is always divided by its plans and a course of development of CMS, which rarely has its competitors who roll slowly and silently their updates.
It follows from all the listed that you should not be afraid of the 1C-Bitrix platform, tell us your tasks and we will say whether this platform will suit you and we will surely say with confidence that it will come true. I tried to make a review of popular misconceptions at the expense of this wonderful platform, which originated from the stamps from the past and just human laziness, which does not fully understand a person with the system and evaluate all its excellent opportunities.
1C-Bitrix is \u200b\u200bconvenient to use for the work of large projects in which stability and high level of protection are required. The platform is optimized for the runet, which manifests itself not only in the localization of the interface, but also in support of domestic services: both other products 1C and solutions from third-party developers.
1C Bitrix also offers built-in tools for monitoring the site attendance, the study of sources of transition and user behavior. By its functionality, this module is weaker than Yandex.Metrica or Google Analytics, but it can also be used to collect basic information about the success of the site.
A large number of marketing tools are available on the default engine. Among them:
- Message system notifications to registered users.
- Widgets for communication with customers on the site and beyond.
- Authorization through social networks and socialbar to share references.
- Analytical data demonstrating the portrait of the audience and showing attendance.
- A / B-testing to study the efficiency of the trading offer.
The standard engine functionality is expanded by installing applications from Markeples. Here you can find ready-made sites, integration with third-party services, Applications for management and interaction with visitors. For example, there is an application "1C-Bitrix: Administration", which allows you to manage orders, edit goods cards, follow statistics.
Another solution is the program "1C-Bitrix: Demonstration Store", which eliminates the need to order the development of a mobile version. With this application, you can create a directory that will be available to customers from the phone. They will be able to make purchases through it, as well as subscribe to notifications about the arrival of new products.
In the senior editions of 1C-Bitrix, collaboration is implemented, which automates the process of interaction between employees. For example, prepared by the content manager of goods cards with descriptions are not published immediately in open accessAnd first go to check the site administrator, which receives a notification about this. After studying the material, the administrator decides to add it to the user part of the site.
The system also offers convenient tools for managing users and communicate with them. You can create groups and endow them with status that will determine access to any other possibilities - for example, participation in promotions or application of promotional products. To solve emerging issues, an online consultant is available or configuring a separate module to support buyers. He collects requests through a special form and grows them on topics. To manage the module, you need a manager that will answer questions or redirect them to other employees. With a large number of requests, the support service can grow up to a complete department that will only work with clients' problems.
Practically unlimited scalability is one of the main features of 1C-Bitrix. You can start with a small site that one person will manage, and eventually come to a large portal with a bunch of employees and different opportunities for interacting with buyers. And it is possible to implement all this within the same system - differ only.
Design
Sites are created based on templates that define their structure and content representation methods. One layout may contain several decorations, but the difference between them will be mainly in colors. All templates have an adaptive layout that provides excellent content mapping on different devices. You can customize the design using the visual editor, edit the template files, as well as download solutions developed by yourself or ordered from specialists.
The possibilities of the visual editor are limited. With it, you can edit content, change photos, place links and banners. The editor is available in the "Site Management" module, which adds a universal constructor on the engine. More than 35 thematic templates and about 200 blocks that can be freely moved to pages and change it on it.
However, the designer is more suitable for running target pages as part of marketing promotion of individual goods / services. Sites created in the designer are on the same hosting as the main project and are available as its subdomains. Such a connection allows you to quickly tighten the necessary data - for example, place the goods from the online store on Landing and use the functionality of the main site for ordering.
For the deep customization of the site interface, you must edit the template files. The visual editor is not an assistant here, its prerogative is to configure related pages. If you never ruled templates yourself, the most effective solution will be attracting a web designer and a web designer to solve this task.
Search engine optimization
SEO parameters are located in the "Search Engine Optimization" section of the administrative panel. Inside, you will find tools for adding search engines in which promotion will be carried out, as well as to form a map of the site and indexing rules. For more detailed reports on the work of the site and its further optimization, the Web Analytics module will be required. It is available in editors for doing business.
To manage standard SEO parameters, the functionality of the visual editor is used. It allows you to register key phrasesBy which the section will advance in search engines, as well as register the header and description metatels.
Among the special optimization tools can be noted a composite site. When this technology is turned on, the contents of the site are determined in the form of two parts - dynamic and static. Static content is loaded immediately after the user transitions by reference, and the dynamic part is loaded gradually. This saves resources and at the same time to speed up the page load.
Tariffs
To check the system features available online demo for 3 hours. If you want to explore the Bitrix slightly deeper, then download trial version for a month. For the permanent use of the system, you must purchase a license. If you choose several editions at once, then when you buy a discount from 5% to 15% will be calculated.
The minimum edit "Start" allows you to create two sites. The number of pages on them is not limited. In addition to the kernel 1C-Bitrix, it offers a built-in constructor, a structure control module, information blocks, a search site. At the "Start" you can make a small website of the company with news, list of vacancies, galleries, catalogs.
To add interactivity in collaboration with users, you need to go to the "Standard" tariff. It removes a restriction on the number of sites, and the Modules "Forum" and "Blogs" are added, plus some marketing tools and an additional security module appear. The creation of the store is possible only in the editorial board for business that have the appropriate names.
Maximum completion engine is available when purchasing the Enterprise license. Its price is not specified, as it depends on the type and complexity of the project. But the calculation of the cost starts from 1.5 million rubles. The editorial power underlines the projects that were created on it. Among them - the store "Euroset", RIA Novosti, sites of large banks.
Each editor has templates with ready-made solutions to run various sites: Landing, shops, information portals. In addition, along with a lifelong license, the buyer receives an annual subscription on the updates. After 12 months, you can continue to use the engine, but no longer will come updates. The cost of extending a subscription depends on the payment time, the maximum value is 60% of the initial season price.
Advantages and disadvantages
1C Bitrix is \u200b\u200ba powerful system based on which you can build a site of any complexity. By purchasing the appropriate editorial board, you will be exactly sure that the engine is ready to implement the task - for example, shop creation. This allows you to speed up the development process, as in fact, the user remains only to adapt the ready-made solutions to its project. Note other advantages:
- A visual editor that simplifies the interface setting.
- The system of user groups with the division of rights.
- Built-in security tools and the ability to purchase extensions to protect the site.
- The ability to connect modules developed by yourself.
- Updates engine and expanding its functionality.
- Own system acceleration of page display.
- Marketplace with applications and ready-made sites.
- Deep integration with other products 1C.
Using 1C-Bitrix implies a serious budget. You will have to pay specialists who will follow the performance of the system and customize integration with other services, for updates, subscribing to which is distributed only for a year. In addition, the engine is rather demanding to resources, so you need to lay great costs and hosting. By virtual hosting, you can except for very small projects. The main mass of sites on 1C-Bitrix is \u200b\u200blocated on VPS and allocated servers, and this requires a rather big investment.
You can create your website for 1C-Bitrix without the help of specialists, but it will take much more time to solve this task than to master the free CMS or site designer. The same visual editor that simplifies management management is suitable except for adding and changing content. When it comes to administration, ensuring uninterrupted work, timely updating of components, technical support is required from those who are professionally engaged in 1C-Bitrix projects.
Developers also find flaws in CMS. One of the main complaints is the complex code and the absence of detailed documentation in public access to understand the specifics of the system work, you have to pass courses, most often paid, which holds 1C and partners.
