August 31, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
REHOVOT, Israel. Atom Limited, a provider of content management solutions, has launched the new version of its WSCraft CMS for flexible building and managing powerful dynamic Websites without involving a programmer.WSCraft enables Web designers who are familiar only with HTML and CSS to flexibly develop and maintain Web, extranet, and intranet sites alone. With WSCraft designers accomplish tasks, such as design integration, content output definition, creating multiple content representations, configuration of e-commerce capabilities, and building multi-language sites, without turning to a programmer.
With WSCraft designers can build Web, extranet, and intranet sites of any scale, from corporate sites to online portals.
WSCraft offers designers a Lego-like approach to building sites while designers define building units by themselves. Since no project stage requires a programmer, designers also are able to reduce project costs, risks, and time while to become independent on programmers.
After a site is finished, designers deliver a site powered by the fully functional content management system to their customers. Deployment of WSCraft, including design integration, customization, and installation takes a few hours and does not require involving additional implementation partners except a Web designer. It makes a total cost of ownership low and lets both Web designers and business users accurately predict the project budget and avoid unexpected costs.
If maintaining a site is under designer's responsibility, a customer can be provided with an access to content update tools only while vital features, like managing users, site structure, and design, remain the privilege of the designer.
The key development features include:
- Seamless and painless integration of virtually any design and layout into WSCraft
- Using multiple design templates throughout a site; switching between design templates in a click

- Full control over navigation menu look and behavior through customization of a pure CSS file
