Webmedia Explorer is the alternative CMS engine that reads the hard
disc and generates a website realtime taking advantage of a very
powerful rendering and data fetching caching system. It's your web
desktop, a mediablog, a very abstract portal engine in which sections
or categories are actually real folders. With it, you can do things
that with other CMS are inconceivable like moving a whole data tree
from one place to another.
I have noticed that very often people understands it is just a file
manipulation or image gallery program just because it uses a different philosophy. And also, some people think that the fact that it doesn't use
a standard database it means it's simply bad. But that's completely
wrong. The fact that it doesn't use a standard database it doesn't mean
it doesn't use any database: it uses its own sophisticated particular
purpose internal database.
Webmedia
Explorer is an innovative way of building and administrating websites
closely related with the way the user is used to organizing his
desktop.
You can do a lot of different things with Webmedia Explorer:
Have a personal photo album.
Have a personal media center with all your music and movies.
Have a blog, be it personal or not.
Have a bookmark collection.
Have a web rss reader.
You can have all this at the same time organized in folders but also
organized with tags. And editing all this online it's so simple: there
is no need to have two interfaces, the web itself and an admin web,
Webmedia Explorer uses a simple context menu that simplifies this. Just
right-click on any element and a nice menu will appear.
This site itself it is completely generated with a standard Webmedia
Explorer engine. See the demo folders to understand quickly what it is
capable of.
Webmedia
Explorer is probably the easiest to install CMS as it doesn't use any
general purpose database server and also is very easy to mantain. For
instance, if you want to backup ALL your data you can simply zip your
media folder. This also means that your hosting can be cheaper.
Furthermore, Webmedia Explorer is very easy to modify due to its object oriented three layer architecture and reduced size.
So you can quickly adapt it to your own needs.
