NeoSite – Content Management System

NeoSite is a client/server application that leverages content management within a website. It promotes a good structuring of information and automates site maintenance. The system is designed for small to medium organizations. Basically, its users will be content authors and providers. If the information is well structured and has a high degree of granularity, then HTML knowledge is not required.
The system is not an integrated and independent solution for web site development, but rather a framework which is used to construct a unique solution based on site's specific requirements.
The system's motto is: A flexible system based on plugins that offers simple and usable interfaces for effective and efficient content management.

Screenshots

Human-computer interaction is achieved through interfaces. The more the interface is designed the more the user is satisfied. When an interface is well designed, the time needed to access the information decreases, and the user adapts much more quickly with the software.

Feedback

The purpose of this page is to show you, by means of screenshots, that Content Management can be done not only through web interfaces. We think that web browser interface elements and possibilities are limited, compared to common applications.
