New interface for Content Management Systems
TheDevTeam is a leading supplier of Content Management Systems that enable users to update and add new content to their websites, without having to cope with the arcane rituals of html coding.
As a major step forward the company has now developed a Word interface. The user prepares the page in Word using all the normal formatting power that we have come to know and rely on, to produce powerful and professional looking documents.
The user steps are:
- Write your document in Word (or most other major editing applications)
- Use all the normal editing, formatting and reviewing tools to finish the document
- Open the administration section of the website (password protected)
- Copy and paste the whole word document into the text area.
- A new web page is instantly created.
- Review the new page as a website user.
- If necessary go back and use the full set of editing tools that are also available, to make amendments.
Most people now agree that the only way to keep a website useful to a company’s customers, is to make sure that it is easy and quick to update. If each change has to go through a tortuous process of passing finished copy to website managers (and in some cases agreeing a price for each change requested), the end effect will be that little is done and a great opportunity is missed.
The next upgrade that we are working on is to incorporate a spell checker into the site editor.
