The success of a web site depends on the up-to-dateness and the quality of the information today. Who wants to be successful on the internet needs a reliable Content-Management system-or also called editorial system- which enables the simple and regardless of the location updating of contents in real time. Until now the purchase of a Content-Management system was only financially feasible for bigger firms because of the high investments. With content2project the Essen firm mediadefine launches a new and in this cost/performance ratio unique solution with the means of which already small firms can use the advantages of deploying an editorial system.

“The maintenance of a web site is always linked to a lot of effort and time expense. Often updatings are implemented by the web master or a web agency instead of by the persons who write the texts for the web site. This is the point where content2project applies an efficient solution“, IT chief developer Tim Hildebrandt explains the advantages of content2project.

 “We have specialised on cheap and powerful so called web based editorial systems for small and medium-sized enterprises as well as organisations. Firms and institutions can save a lot of time and even costs using content2project. Additionally, even small firms can work much more networked with the means of content2project- even worldwide with partners. Especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, there were only very poorly conceived or too cost-intensive solutions. content2project takes other ways in the technical and in price realisation”, marketing leader Rüdiger van Hal stresses the essential points of the content2project concept.

What is a Content-Management system?
A Content-Management system enables a change in a web site within seconds without coming into touch with programming codes. There is a strict separation between content and design of a web site. Both content and design artwork are stored in a databank and can be acquired independent from each other.

content2project is as easy as a word processing: Log, Edit, Publish
A high performance and easy usability are not a conflict with content2project, but a commonality. Everyone who can handle Word and surf on the internet will be able to work with the editing function of content2project at first go. The slogan „Log, Edit, Publish“ describes the simple usability principle of content2project: log in into the system with the username and password via the internet, edit contents- texts, pictures or hyperlinks- and publish it in real time.

Efficiency advantages for groups:
Intranet, extranet and internet in one product
content2project offers many advantages especially for the middle class and organisations: So single departments, representations or assistants can administer their contents themselves without changing the standardised design or designs, which are arranged by the web master or an agency. The user groups and user rights ensure that only the assistants who have the accordant rights may gather texts and activate them afterwards in the web for the public. Furthermore, there is the possibility to administer an intranet for the assistants and an extranet for customers or partners with the same editorial system. The administration of several domains is possible without problems for content2project.

Mobile, independent, few preconditions
Changes in the internet appearance can be accomplished from every internet access in the world. This possibility is especially interesting at external appointments and at exhibitions or at home working. As content2project is performed as ASP product on the internet, only very few system preconditions are needed despite highest activity.

Instead of cost-intensive Updates fast profitting from new functions
The price/performance model of content2project takes new ways with the means of a monthly leasing rate. Thus, it is ensured that the customers profit promptly from developments by providing new functions without having to install new software on all computers in your house. This model potentiates the offering of a powerful editorial system for the middle class. So huge investment sums is missing and an editorial system becomes financially feasible for a small enterprise with content2project.
