Situation:
Web site needs to be changed.
It's just a tweak, couple of
lines of text, new phone number, link to some important information
is changed, technical support has a new e-mail address...
Anyway, it has to be done as soon as possible!
Traditional solution: Web site is your creation so you
are called in to make those changes. As usual, such assignments
come when they are least wanted. Dead-line on another important
and much bigger project is approaching only too fast...
On the other hand, you do not want to lose an old customer,
so you somehow manage to find a spare moment to do it, knowing
you can never charge a proper fee for that small job. Too
bad...
Web Update Builder solution: When you were designing the
web site you made it ready for this kind of situation. Your
customer has Web Update Client application you gave them.
They start it, psdk03 select a page to change, type in new
value in a standard text box, click on Update and the job
is done. Will your customer call you? You bet! Satisfied
customers always come back with new assignments.
So how Web Update Builder does it?
The whole concept is quite simple. You just have to add
special <wub></wub> HTML tags to web pages and
enclose in them areas you want to allow changes to. You
can do that with any text or specialized HTML code editor
and if you are using Dreamweaver® we have provided <wub>
HTML tag extension for more convenience.
Next step is to start Web Update Builder type in some customer
data and create Web Update Client customized for the web
site you are working on. Web Update Client is stand alone
program and does not have to be installed so all you have
to do is give your customer that one executable file and
they can use it right away.
Web Update Client allows only changes to plain text (including
<b> and <i> tags) and <a> tags (URLs and
e-mail addresses). This was necessary to keep things simple
enough so any user can make those changes as well as to
prevent unwanted changes to web page layout. However, you
can still use this system to allow editing contents in tables,
lists and similar structures.
And that's it. Everything is so easy to make and use. We
have developed Web Update Builder based on experience we
got from numerous projects realised by our Internet Solutions
division. We believe that by offering such an easy solution
for small updates you can gain clear advantage over competition
when bidding for some web site assignment. Within your own
company you will save a lot of valuable time by allowing
your colleages to make changes that otherwise you would
have to make yourself. We are poised to make Web Update
Builder an industry standard.
