Using Quick Pages as a simple CMS

Frequently we are asked if Quick Pages can be used as a simple CMS (Content Management System). In fact, we are using Quick Pages as a CMS for our own websites. To be exact, for some parts of our sites. For instance, Products section of our main site (http://www.webasyst.net/products.htm) is completely implemented in Quick Pages:

Using Quick Pages we can easily edit this page:

And this is how the page appears on our website:

All pages in the Products section which links you can see on the left (e.g. Contact Manager, Document Depot etc…) are implemented in Quick Pages. It allows us to easily maintain the whole section. No webmaster with HTML skills is required. Any person assigned to maintain website content can just login to her WebAsyst account, open Quick Pages, and add/edit web page text, images etc. All changes immediately appear on the website.

Though the process of integration of Quick Pages and a website is very easy, we have not made it a part of Quick Pages at the moment. We are using some “not documented” features which allow us to publish Quick Pages content on the pages of our website.

In future versions of Quick Pages, we plan to open this technique for public and give our customers this simple CMS tool. We just want to make this tool as simple and usable as possible, and it will take a little more time & effort from our developers.
