SiteWing™ Product Features

SiteWing is a complete web content management system that works by automatically generating an entire website on your computer. SiteWing is not dependent on special web server software and it is compatible with most web servers. It has a fully interactive menu system that automatically links all web pages together. It separates Page, Layout, Style, and Content. As a result, website updates and maintenance are managed easily.

New information or the actual content is added to the Content Manager, which is managed similar to email. The content is used to create the Inserts. The Inserts are then added to the Pages, which are already automatically managed by the menu system. Last but not the least, the updated site is generated and uploaded automatically.

Below is a complete list of features showcasing the power and versatility of SiteWing™.

SiteWing™ Features Description
Text  
Word Processor-style editing Entering text is as easy as writing email or using a word processor.
Layered Styles Using styles, a newer feature of HTML, individual sections of a website, or the entire website can be easily changed. For example, one main font style can be selected for the entire site. The font can then be changed with a single click of the mouse.
Authoring  
Load and Save Themes SiteWing comes with many "themes" to choose from. This is a great way to get started. Also, once a theme is loaded, it can be modified in any way. Users can also save their own themes for future use.
Pages optimized for search engines The web pages SiteWing generates are search engine friendly.
Color Palettes, Favorites, and Droppers Colors can be selected for nearly every aspect of a webpage. SiteWing makes it simple to select the right color by offering 2 types of palettes. In addition, color can also be selected using a dropper, to select a color from anywhere on the screen. Favorite colors can be saved for easy access.
Graphics SiteWing has built-in image processing and file management features. Most image manipulation can be done without using another piece of software.
Image File Management SiteWing can import images by simply browsing thumbnail images on the hard drive. All images are copied, so the original is never modified.
Pasting Images Images that are displayed on screen can be copied to the clipboard, or Print Screen can be used to copy anything displayed on screen. SiteWing has a Paste feature to make a new image right from the clipboard.
Editing (RCRC):Resize,Crop,Rotate,Convert SiteWing's built-in image editing allows users to quickly and easily edit pictures.
Batch Image Processing When working with many images, sometimes it can be tedious to do the same operation over and over. SiteWing can process images in batches: rotating, resizing, thumbnail generation, and conversion - all done automatically.
Generated Gradient & Bar Images In addition to working with existing images, SiteWing can create new images as well. Gradient color bars can add great visual appeal to a website. Smooth color transitions add depth and class.

Flash For artists wanting animation and other features of Flash, SiteWing can place these files anywhere in a website.
Video Video files can be added to a website giving users a complete multimedia experience.
Content Management SiteWing is able to separate content, style and layout. When designing a website, users are able to define how future content will be handled. SiteWing will take care of putting it all together.
Image Galleries with Thumbnails and Slideshows For websites with lots of pictures, managing those images can be time consuming. SiteWing makes it simple to add, remove, label, and edit images. The website is automatically updated with any changes to the picture content.
News Articles Writing for the web should not be encumbered by the need to sort articles. SiteWing makes managing articles as easy as managing email. Because content is managed separately from the website, there is no need to worry about page layout, leaving more time to write interesting articles.
Inventory Manager Whether managing a store, a collection, or any group of items, SiteWing's Inventory Manager can categorize, sort, and group items. Images, descriptions, prices and more can be added, and the website is automatically generated to show it all off.
Calendar & Events Manager Something as simple as a calendar can take a lot of work to manage in a web page. Fortunately, SiteWing handles this with ease. Special events can be managed as easily as writing email; SiteWing will make sure the website is always up to date.
Message of the Day Keeping a website interesting is an ongoing task. Adding automatic daily messages can add a great touch and keep users coming back for more.
Charts/Tables Formatting information for a web page can be tedious, but SiteWing makes it simple. By separating the structure and style from the content, a Chart can organize and present data in a visually appealing way.
Website Interactivity A website should be a 2-way street, not only delivering information to users, but also able to hear from users. SiteWing incorporates many features for making a website interactive for users.
Feedback Forms Forms are a great way to gather information from users. SiteWing makes it easy to create a great looking form, and handles all the behind-the-scenes work of safely delivering the user's feedback to you.
Shopping Cart Combined with the Inventory Management feature, the Shopping cart handles all the work of gathering a user's product selections, totaling prices, and more. Just add a third party e-commerce service to process the order, and your website starts paying for itself!
Multi-Page News Using the latest advances in website technology, SiteWing uses AJAX to allow users to interactively peruse multi-page news articles. Features like this were previously available to huge corporate websites, but SiteWing now makes it available to everyone.
User Contributed Content Many of the features in SiteWing can be configured to allow web visitors to contribute information to your Interactive Content. Events can be submitted for Calendars, articles can be submitted for News, and more. Managing contributions within your Content Manager in SiteWing, you are always in control of your website. All new contributions can be reviewed before being added to the website with just a single click.
Discussion Forum Manager A forum is a useful way of opening a discussion among users. SiteWing orchestrates all of the communication, while keeping all control in the hands of the moderator.
Password-Protected Pages Sometimes it's necessary to keep some information under wraps. SiteWing allows individual pages to be password-protected so that only key people can have access.
Popup Information Box Information does not always need to be placed directly on a page, but can be shown in a popup box for the user to view only if they are so inclined.
Automation Once a website is created, maintaining it is what will keep visitors coming back. People like to see up-to-date websites, and SiteWing makes this easy.
Integrated Scheduler SiteWing's Integrated Scheduler interfaces directly with Windows' built-in scheduler, allowing it to run unattended or automatically.
Generated Websites With automation, the complete website is re-created every day. Content won't become outdated, and visitors will see fresh information every time they visit.
Site Maps & Site Trees Behind the scenes, SiteWing handles linking together all the pages in a website. Menus and Site Maps and Site Trees make the entire site easy to navigate. When adding or removing pages, SiteWing will "rewire" the whole website, so there's never a broken link.
DateStamps Websites should always be up-to-date, especially dates. In SiteWing, dates and timestamp can be custom-formatted to fit any need or preference of display.
Server Management Connecting to a web server, once configured, is automatic and seamless. SiteWing handles everything needed to communicate with the web server.
Upload Integration Transferring files to the web server is one of the most important tasks of site management. SiteWing handles this automatically.
EMail Integration To keep websites interactive, users can provide feedback and other contributions through web forms. Standard, reliable, email is used to transfer all feedback to SiteWing. And because this is done securely, using the web server, it is safe and anonymous.
Search Engine Registration Helper Automation can also help to keep your website in the sights of the major search engines. SiteWing helps by connecting to the search engine's submit pages. This takes much of the work out of doing your own search engine submissions.
Automatic Backups Data is stored and managed automatically when uploading a website. Just add these files to your regular backup routine, and a lost website can be restored at any time.
User Interface The innovative design of the SiteWing user interface makes it fast and easy for a new user to learn and packs several powerful features! Intuitive, powerful, easy to learn, easy to use.
Integrated Help & Tutorials All throughout the program, help is available. Users can click on most controls, and get a quick-help popup. If more information is needed, users can click the controls again, which opens the full help system.
Intuitive Controls Controls are all labeled and categorized, making it easy to navigate the user interface. When using the controls, users will see the changes take effect instantly!
Working Preview The actual website you are working on is always displayed and changes are reflected real-time. Menus and other active features of the web page are operational, so navigating and testing is a breeze.
