We've managed to make a dead simple on-site editing interface that works with any design, without any need to stick to any 'template'.
Our goal is to allow designers with a knowledge of HTML and CSS to make completely custom designed websites that a client can easily (and safely) keep up to date.
- lovskogen 15y agoThat's what I meant with b), which is how we do it too. But it's not the best solution, which is direct manipulation – no 'form window' to edit the content of a page. Which, as stated, is hard when you got demanding customers with very different needs for a website.
- bobfunk 15y agoI'm not actually convinced a) is the best solution though. For some things it is, but once you work with structured data that might show up in different places and might be displayed in different ways in those places, it's not always the best. It works for simple pages where there's no real separation between content and design, but once you have text that's transformed to uppercase in one place because of a "text-transform: uppercase", or a long blog post that's only shown as a summary on the home page - editing directly in place becomes problematic.
- lovskogen 15y agoYes, but most of the time direct manipulation is king, so I hold that as the best solution.
