Easy Login

WebEdit's unique login process allows any authorised website administrator to login to WebEdit mode simple by pressing the escape key 3 times to show the login box and entering their email address and password.  It's that simple!  See our live Demo for more information.

 

"In Page" Text Editing

Once logged in users can change their page content on the web page itself using just their web browser.  No Software to install, no clunky administration areas, just a web page that's editable.

 

Popout Toolbar

When logged into WebEdit mode a floating toolbar will be displayed to the top left of the web page.  This toolbar contains buttons that allow the user to alter any text that is highlighted within the editable areas of the webpage.

 

Image Manager

An Image Manager is provided so that the website administrators can set-up a central stock of images for use on their website.  These images can then be inserted into any of the editable areas of any web page on their website with just a few clicks.  The Image Manager also provides support for adding fancy borders, image resizing and accurate alignment for controlling image placement along side text.

 

Auto Thumbnailing

No need to upload original and thumbnail versions of images!  Our Image Manager allows you to specify the size that an image should appear on the web page.  Based on that size it will automatically create a thumbnail version on the fly which will be significantly smaller than the original.  This makes for faster download times and a faster website!

 

Auto Image Preview

Working along side the Auto Thumbnailing, our Image Manager allows you to choose whether the user should be able to click on an Image to view a full size version of it.  This allows you to insert smaller an faster thumbnails into your website but still allow the user to view the original and larger version at the click of their mouse.

 

File Manager

WebEdit also offers a central File Manager which allows you to keep all of your online documents in one place.  Documents uploaded to this area can then be linked to from any of the editable content blocks on your website by way of a textual hyperlink.

 

Link Manager

The Link Manager forms one of the many hubs of WebEdit.  As we all know, the world wide web is made up of billions of hyperlinks all joining website to website and web page to web page.  The Link manager provides this feature within your website by allowing you to turn text or images into links to other pages or even other websites.

 

User Manager

The User Manager allows the Super User(s) to create additional website administration user accounts.  Each account has an associated email address, password and access rights and allows different people to login into and change content.  Note: The name of the user to last change each content block will be recorded with the content blocks XML data file for audit purposes.

Folder Permissions

With the release of WebEdit v2.6 it is now possible to restrict which areas of your website users can edit based on the folder within which a web page exists.  This means that you can section your website into areas and allow different WebEdit administrators to edit only portions of the website that apply to them.

 

Content Permissions

In addition to the Folder Permissions mentioned above, as of v2.6, it also became possible to restrict which individual content blocks WebEdit administrators could edit.  This means that if a certain user should only be able to edit certain areas of a web page the Super User can control this via the easy to use User Maintenance interface (or via the built in API)

 

Pay As You Go Pricing

Unlike most costly content management systems we believe in only charging for things that you use.  This is why we have a simple Pay As You Go scheme in which you only need to pay for the live domains on which you use WebEdit.  You may use WebEdit totally FREE of charge on your LocalHost but we do ask for payment if you copy it to a live website.  Click here to see our current prices.

 

Simple Installation

WebEdit stores all of it's information in XML data files which negates the need for a large and complicated database.  This in turn makes the installation and configuration of WebEdit very simple.  All you need to do it download a ZIP file and extract it to the root of your web site.  That's it, nothing more!

 

A super user account will be created the first time you login to WebEdit (by pressing escape 3 times) and from there WebEdit can be integrated directly into your web pages (See Below).

 

Simple Integration

Once installed (which is really just a simple file copy) WebEdit can be integrated into any WebPage with just three lines of code within the .ASPX page.  A simple Register line at the top of the page, a link to a .JS file and then a line for the server control itself as shown below:

 

<%@ Register Namespace="MoreNet" Assembly="WebEdit" TagPrefix="MoreNet" %>

<script src="/WebEdit/js/WebEdit.js" type="text/javascript" />

<MoreNet:WebEdit ID="ContentBlock1" runat="server">

    <DefaultHTML>

        Default Content Goes Here

    </DefaultHTML>

</MoreNet:WebEdit>
