Unify™ Private Beta
June 9, 2009
My friends and I at Unit Interactive have cooked up a sweet little app that should cure a lot of headaches that web designers and website owners currently endure. It’s called Unify, and we’ve just opened up registration for a private beta that will begin very soon.
For full details, see the blog post over on the Unit Blog »
Unify is not a CMS. It’s is a simple content editor that anyone can use. It has a ridiculously simple implementation and requires no database integration. To use Unify, you simply go to your website, login, edit the content right on the page, and click “publish.” Done.
- no CMS
- no backend interface
- no database setup
- no proprietary syntax or tags
Just change, add, or delete content right on the page in your browser.
Designer-friendly, client-friendly
Unify is the perfect content editing solution for those clients who don’t need a powerful CMS …AND it’s perfect for designers who don’t want to learn PHP or delve into the convoluted backend of a CMS. All you have to know is how to apply a single class to an HTML element.
With Unify, your clients don’t have to know HTML and they don’t need to learn to use a complex, counterintuitive backend system. Unify lets you give your clients an easy-to-use editing solution so that they can be self-sufficient …and you can determine which elements they can edit and which elements they can’t.
Unify is not a hosted solution. It lives on the website’s server. The license cost will be very low, allowing for easy inclusion in project budgeting.
Setting Up Unify
For the designer/developer, implementation is a snap. Once you create an account and download Unify, just…
1. Upload the Unify folder to the server,
2. Add the appropriate Unify classes to the HTML elements or divs that you’d like to be able to edit, and upload the page(s) to the server.
3. There is no step 3. You’re done.
