Exsite Webware Description

Exsite Webware - Operating system for your website Exsite Webware is an operating system for your website. It provides a core framework for managing content, templates, HTTP I/O, databases, and dynamic content web applications. It may help to think of it as a Content Management System (CMS), as it includes many CMS tools and plug-ins. However, the CMS tools are just web applications that run on the base framework; you can also install other applications for managing things other than regular web site content. (For example, e-commerce transactions, e-mail blasts, membership management, and so on.)ExSite Webware is LAMP-compatible, meaning it runs on industry-standard Linux-Apache-MySQL-Perl web servers. It has also been used on OS X and Unix servers. It has even been reported to run under Windows IIS (although we don't recommend that). It supports all standard web technologies. ExSite uses an extensible plug-in architecture, so it is flexible enough to be used on a wide variety of web sites, and is easily grown to incorporate new features and services. Because it is built on standard open web technologies, it is compatible with a variety of database and high-performance solutions. And its powerful templating and layout system allow you to go wild with your designs, and place elements where you want them, not where the CMS tells you to put them.Here are some key features of "Exsite Webware":Web Design Features:· Flexible templating system, with multiple content zones per page· Content versioning means all your changes are archived, and you can roll back at any time· Web pages are written out as conventional, search-engine-friendly .html files· Template inheritance makes it easy to spin-off new templates based partially on old ones, or share templates between sites· Online libraries for shareable images, clip-art, documents, etc· Separation of design elements from content elements, with access controls for each· Automatic menu and sitemap construction· Polymorphic content model makes it easy to swap images for text for documents, and so on· Web-based content management makes internet collaborations much easier· WYSIWYG editing for simple updates; raw HTML mode for fine-tuning· CSS editing IT Features:· Highly portable toolkit based on the most common open standards· No browser plug-ins or client-side software required· Works on Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, and other OSes· Works on a standard LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-Perl/PHP) webserving configuration· Highly scalable· Runs any number of websites with shared services simultaneously· Static content results in static, conventional files, reducing server load· Runs in easy-to-configure CGI mode, or high-performance Mod_perl mode· Plug-and-play web application installation· Configurable logs and audit trails· Server management plug-ins available (eg.
