» Review Web Update Builder 3.1
(October 2006)

Situation: Web site needs to be changed. It's just a tweak, couple of lines of text, new image, new phone number, link to some important information is changed, technical support has a new e-mail address... Anyway, it has to be done as soon as possible!

Traditional solution: Web site is your creation so you are called in to make those changes. As usual, such assignments come when they are least wanted. Dead-line on another important and much bigger project is approaching only too fast... On the other hand, you do not want to lose an old customer, so you somehow manage to find a spare moment to do it, knowing you can never charge a proper fee for that small job. Too bad...

Web Update Builder solution: When you were designing the web site you made it ready for this kind of situation. Your customer has Web Update Client application you gave them. They start it, select a page to change, type in new value in a standard text box, change an image, click on Update and the job is done. Will your customer call you? You bet! Satisfied customers always come back with new assignments.

So how Web Update Builder does it?

The whole concept is quite simple. You just have to add special <wub></wub> HTML tags to web pages and enclose in them areas you want to allow changes to. You can do that with any text or specialized HTML code editor and if you are using Dreamweaver® we have provided <wub> HTML tag extension for more convenience.

Next step is to start Web Update Builder, type in some customer data and create Web Update Client customized for the web site you are working on. Web Update Client is a stand alone program and does not have to be installed so all you have to do is give your customer that one executable file and they can use it right away.

Web Update Client allows only changes to plain text (including <b> and <i> tags), images and <a> tags (URLs and e-mail addresses). This was necessary to keep things simple enough so any user can make those changes as well as to prevent unwanted changes to web page layout. However, you can still use this system to allow editing contents in tables, lists and similar structures.
