What’s new? in WebriQ web content management

    Designing for CMS-s

Today I come to you with one SEO update, and two E-commerce function enhancements, and I will share with you a great article on designing for CMS-s.

     SEO: page title

 We have added a new section to the SEO tab of each blog, article etc., called "Page title".

 This is very good news for your search engine ranking, and it also looks very cool that each blog entry has its own name shown on the header of the browser!

     E-commerce: design

We have updated the design for the default webshop. I think it looks much better than the previous version. If you don't have a custom design e-commerce site and want to activate the new view, all you need to do is download the Template Creation Kit and reinstall it.

     E-commerce: product category

Have you ever wanted to reorganize the categories of your products? Now it is as easy as creating a new menu item. Actually it works just the same as creating a new menu item. I love drag-and-drop!

Here is a very interesting article about designing for content management systems written on Smashing Magazine.

"Designing and indeed front-end development for a website that will have content edited by non-technical users poses some problems..."

     Catalog, Request a quote

Do you propose different prices individually to your customers? Now you can enable your customers to request a price quote for individual or multiple items from your catalog or webshop. I just wish we would have thought of this before! It is so simple and straightforward, yet extremely useful.

Enabling those features will allow anyone coming to the site to share the content of your site with other social media sites like Facebook and also allowing your viewers to rate content on your website.

The second set of updates has been done in the shop area, where we basically enhanced the user experience on many areas like the invoicing and billing area, the shipping methodology logic, additions to the shopping cart and the wishlist.

Third we made it easier to change the logo on your website and the Favicon on the website: simply upload your logo in the definition area and the logo picture will automatically re size itself to fit in nicely in the area set for the logo. The same methodology is used for the Favicon icon, displayed in front of your URL. All this to enhance the look and feel of your site by just a couple of simple additions and a couple of clicks.

And last, we have enhanced the user interface on the Newsletter module. All modules have now a unified user interface and navigation mechanism, to make it easy for all the content managers to navigate through all the modules available on the WebriQ content management platform.

A comparison between Commercial Open Source Web Development, CMS and E-Commerce Systems and existing Open Source Systems. Part-1

Recent New Comer WebriQ stirs the pot with their Disruptive Technology while the majority of people are still only discussing Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal as the three best Open source Content Management Systems. These systems will be reviewed through first hand experience. But, we will add to the equation, a Commercial Open Source CMS system called WebriQ and analyze the major differences between the three open source system and then group those open source system and compare them with a Commercial Open source system.

Only within the last year has Wordpress actually begun to step up as a true CMS. However the other two, Drupal and Joomla, have seemingly always been fighting for that top spot in the community. Both are open source, and both are widely developed with thousands of members in their community helping to develop and extend the possibilities of use for each. While Wordpress is considered the underdog in the CMS war, it is most definitely the king of blogging software (something that Joomla and Drupal struggle to do efficiently).

In contrast, Commercial Open Source systems are build on open source technology but are bundled as a software service in a service platform with a large amount of standard features embedded in the platform. Those platforms have a tendency to eliminate the FUD factor when implementing the latest web technologies, they eliminate the proprietary licensing fees, they are lowering the cost of ownership by simplifying development and maintenance efforts, they are delivering a scalable solution that meets the demands of small and large enterprises and they are enticing both the Business owner and the Web Developers alike. The last point being the key difference between the open source platforms and the current available commercial open source platforms.

Wordpress ..usable beyond blogging?

It is widely accepted that Wordpress is an excellent system when you want your ideas out quickly on the web. It is therefore often used as a blog, because you are out there quickly, but Wordpress can be configured in many different ways.
Wordpress is extremely easy to use and setup. It can of course work as a blog, comments are already built into the system, as well as pinging services, multiple blogger profiles, trackbacks and common features you might expect from a blog. Most of the functionality is out of the box, and works as expected without the need of customization.
But the fact that customization was not the key driver for Wordpress, also is to a certain extend its limitation. Because very often, if you try to customize or you try to do different things with the system, causes it break or disappear altogether. Wordpress is far from being developer friendly and too many times upgrades to the system causes your website to simply disappear as well along with the upgrade and the customization and modifications you made are no longer available.

Wordpress Advantages

• Very easy to use and few modifications are needed
• Excellent for blogging or sharing thoughts in a sequential manner
• Easy learning curve, also for the not so sophisticated users

Wordpress Cons

• Not developer friendly
• The community seems to like to complain
• Upgrades bring more bugs than fixes

Drupal … can it be used by non-developers?

If you enjoy tweaking the code that makes up the framework of a website, then Drupal is probably for you. This advanced content management system is more a developer platform than a traditional CMS. Its not to say that only developers can use the system though, but to say that they will feel more at home here than in the other two. Interestingly, being more developer friendly does not automatically make it more user friendly - in fact the developer has to work hard to make it that way if they need the end-product to do so.
For those that are not so developer-minded, this can be the trial of their lives, but for people who live in code - well, they can literally get lost developing some very cool websites.
Being in essence a development platform and if you are a developer and are willing to learn the ins and outs of the proprietary system, you can surely make great websites with Drupal. But you will have a hard time make it look and feel the same way as it function. The underlying technology is perfect, the usability and the design is far from being perfect. So in a lot of cases, you could end up with a perfectly working website, but that is difficult to use and is not very neat in its design.

Drupal Advantages

• Extremely developer friendly, but you need to engage in proprietary Drupal code.
• Strong community to help discern the dozens (hundreds) of functions and tags available.
• Can be used to create some really awesome websites that can outperform a majority of other sites out there.

Drupal Cons

• Not very designer and user-friendly. It's hard for someone with little code knowledge to make the leaps required to do the very cool things that Drupal is becoming known for.
• Theming of Drupal has been a huge case of failure. Themes are made by developers, not designers
• Getting a Drupal website published could cost you more time, and thus more money, than Wordpress or Joomla and certainly compared to commercial open source software like WebriQ.

Joomla – a community of web builders!

Joomla means in Swahili (Urdu) “all together” and to a certain extend they have been living up their name of being a system that is end-user friendly, developer friendly and also takes care of the design of your website and the way a content management system should work.
Designers will choose Joomla because of the amazing capabilities that its engine has in making websites look fantastic. Newcomers to Joomla (and website management) will love the fact that it is very easy to use and even customize as more and more developers create tools that are easier to understand. Developers, likewise, will choose the system because of its large capacity for development and customization. The new MVC framework was built just so that anyone with the knowledge could override the core of the CMS without actually modifying the original code.
But it is not as flexible for developers as Drupal is and it not as user-friendly as Wordpress. It can not run multisites from one backend database, and parts of the system have to be taken as is and can not be customized or modified. In other words, you need lo learn the limitations as you are sometimes caught in between a developers platform and modules that are in essence self-contained.
Joomla claims to be user friendly, and to a certain extend it is, but you need to go through a leaning curve of Joomla specific proprietary code and unless you are a developer or a designer or both, that willingness is often lacking.
So, trying to be the all together for the web site building community, Joomla has also the risk of being caught in between Drupal and Wordpress. People who want simplicity will go to Wordpress, and through developers who love to develop and code will go for Drupal.

Joomla Advantages

• Friendly for most types of users - Designers, Developers and Administrators, but not Content Managers or end-users.
• Huge community is awesome for assisting with creation of websites
• Has been rapidly growing and improving itself for the past years

Joomla Cons

• Still not user-friendly enough for everyone to understand
• Not quite as powerful as Drupal, and can be a bit confusing for some to jump into

Recently rebuilt the entire system from ground-up, and so there are still many out there sticking to the old versions.
