Cont·Ray makes it possible
to create any website dynamically. The contents of the site
are completely separated from the design and layout. This
technology allows to realize even complex Internet appearances
and Internet portals in a fraction of the time usually needed.
The contents can be kept up to date without any programming
knowledge and layout changes can be realized without touching
the contents and for the whole site at once - easy and quick.
Contents, images, documents and website elements are defined
in HTML templates and can be edited with the Cont·Ray
administration in your web browser.
The Design/Layout of your website can be arranged any way
you like. You create the HTML templates with the layouts
you need (e.g. templates for "About Us", "Products"
and "Contact"). Texts, images, menus, navigational
elements, form fields, JavaScripts or parameters for forms
and style elements are replaced by variables in the templates
to make it possible to edit them with Cont·Ray. The
navigation is created dynamically, only the layout of the
navigation can be set with an HTML template. The administration
contains an innovative site management system which virtually
mirrors the navigation of the website - you do not have
to worry about linking your site or having "dead links".
You can use JavaScripts, Style-Sheets (CSS), DHTML and
more just like before. The documentation and example templates
make it easy to adapt them to Cont·Ray.
Cont·Ray is a software that runs on any server system
(i.e. cross-platform) with Perl/CGI support. The basic installation
needs only a few minutes.
