The majority of Content Management Systems on the international market today provide a solid WYSIWYG environment covering most of the functionality that can be found in word processing applications. In addition to these strong editorial features, we have embraced the concept of the one-layer user interface, using tabs and sections in preference to multiple pop-up windows to give the user clear access to the system with optimal usability.
It is agreed that the strict separation of content from the presentation layer achieves improvements in search engine optimization and content reuse but its abstraction can challenge editors and designers. We have re-established the link between design and content, giving the system a page-based feel that is considerably easier for the content contributors and designers alike.This refinement, combined with the usability of the single page editing, gives a faster and more intuitive interface for the users.
We have also taken the link between design and website content one step closer by providing a number of tools for non-technical users to create ‘renderings' - the process of combining content with design to layout text and images on your site. In Composite C1, editors and designers can create new functions, reuse content and work with item-based data in an intuitive environment without the need for XSLT or other programming skills, thereby reducing the need to outsource tasks and cutting site development time and costs.
