Technical

Are the websites created using EasySiteBuild database driven or are they html pages?  

The final websites created by EasySiteBuild are all pure HTML pages similar to the ones created using Dreamweaver or FrontPage. A visitor to the website will only view HTML pages containing GIF & JPG images with no back-end database querying. The database is used only by the Control Center section of EasySiteBuild which the site owner uses to manage and make modifications to the website.

What is an Image Editor?  

The Image Editor allows users to perform various image manipulation/editing and retouching features to refine/correct and enhance the existing image before including it in the website. With Image Editor, users can perform various image editing operations like Flip, Crop, Rotate, apply Frames & Borders, change Brightness & Contrast, Resize, Annotate (text on image), Change Image Format, etc.

Is it possible for users to create Forms like feedback form, registration form etc?  

Yes, of course. Users can either create a custom form in a matter of minutes or simply incorporate a readymade feedback form as part of their website.

What are your shopping cart and payment options?  

EasySiteBuild comes with a shopping cart. Currently we have integrated Paypal, 2Checkout and Verisign as payment options. We plan to integrate more payment gateways soon.

What is a blog / weblog?  

A blog is a web page made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically—like a what's new page or a journal. The content and purposes of blogs varies greatly—from links and commentary about other web sites, to news about a company/person/idea, to diaries, photos, poetry, mini-essays, project updates, even fiction. Blog posts are like instant messages to the web.

Many blogs are personal. Others are collaborative efforts based on a specific topic or area of mutual interest. Some blogs are for play. Some are for work. Some are both. Blogs are also excellent team/department/company/family communication tools. They help small groups communicate in a way that is simpler and easier to follow than email or discussion forums. Use a private blog on an intranet to allow team members to post related links, files, quotes, or commentary. Set up a family blog where relatives can share personal news. A blog can help keep everyone in the loop, promote cohesiveness and group culture, and provide an informal "voice" of a project or department to outsiders.

What does BlogZone do and how does it work?  

BlogZone gives you a way to automate (and greatly accelerate) the blog publishing process without writing any code or worrying about installing any sort of server software or scripts. And yet, it still gives you total control over the look and location of your blog.

You select a BlogZone template for your page that indicates where you want your posts to appear. When you want to publish something, you simply enter in the Rich text editor and submit. When you're ready, you hit a "Publish" button that will automatically send your new page to your web server.

Can my customers change the image that comes along with the template?  

Yes, apart from the few image options that we provide as part of the site builder itself, you can go ahead and replace the main image on the design template with his own image. This powerful image replacement feature enables you to make his website look more in tune with his line of business.
