Web Site Builders
From deluxe content management systems to full featured multi-page web building solutions, LinkSky web builders offer easy point-n-click web site design, construction and editing. With these tools, you can keep your content fresh and up to date from any location where you have access to a web browser and the internet.
Without the need to download and install software, you can easily and instantly perform common tasks such as changing text, upload new photos, update your events calendar, modify product prices, add new pages, etc.
LinkSky offers two types of web builders: content management systems (CMS), and template-based web site builders.
CMS packages are ideal for group projects, where each editor is given independent access to their own pages or section within the web site project. Varying levels of access are assigned, so that full site managers have wider levels of access with greater responsibility.
Other advantages for using a good CMS: Many of them are ready-made for specific uses such as setting up a blog site, a discussion site, community web portals, resource directories and so on.
On the other hand, template-based web authoring tools may match the needs of individuals or businesses that do not require a collaborative effort for the management of content. One advantage of using LinkSky site builders is that many of the templates feature expansive capability such as inserting a blog, an image gallery or a discussion group (forum). In addition, using template-based authoring tools can make it easier to redesign your web site without the need to change the content, just by changing the design template. This can lead to greater flexibility overall.
Some CMS systems do share a certain amount of the same flexibility. Some of the more advanced content management systems feature easy ways to extend the functionality of the web project with plugin modules. Some also have advanced template-based features that make the end result very hard to distinguish from template-based systems. But these more advanced CMS packages can have a fairly steep learning curve, whereas template-based web development tools are generally easier to learn, particularly in the early web site design and development stages.
And, of course, you can use any combination of these tools, or change from one to the other at any time.
Ultimately, our goal is to provide more options and greater opportunity for the development of your web site along with easy access so you can keep your pages up to date. LinkSky will continue to offer an array of advanced web builders to help make your project easy and affordable.
