1, 2, 3, Publish !

From site prototypes to official release and updates, you might want to issue different site versions in multiple deployment environments. Using WebMS, a single interface allows you to edit, modify, merge, split, export and duplicate your sites and their contents.
 

Publishing operations made simple.

Publishing a website requires :
  • duplicating the site's tree and contents between segments or language versions.
  • merging separate (and perhaps graphically different) sites.
  • maintaining parallel versions of the same site and exchanging contents between them.
  • exporting the whole (or a subset) to any suitable server environment, with or without its media dependencies (images, movies...)
One of the main assets of WebMS is that all those tedious operations are made really simple. A single interface, with clear and graphical controls, allows your publishers to master all these processes in just a few days.

Site versions and deployment environments

A site may be split in several language versions and audience segments versions.
Sites may also exist in several edition versions like :
  • at conception stage, quickly setup mock-ups for some important areas.
  • during project development, entirely pre-developed site segments in anticipation of important launches to come.
  • during test phases, concurrent test versions for usability tests.
  • at deletion stage, backup of older pages to be restored later.
From a single graphical interface, WebMS lets you switch previews from one of your site's version to the other, on all the environments available. And of course, you can copy/paste content between versions or export pages from one to the other.


Once a site is complete, you might want to test it before it goes online. For a state-of-the-art corporate project, tests can be run in several environments (different web servers) with different purposes (approval round on the content, development of the applications, end-to-end tests). The production servers themselves can include several repositories (staging, quarantine, recovery...).

At your discretion, all those environments of yours are directly accessible through WebMS.
