Who should use SiteLander?

Non-web designers can use SiteLander to build online portfolios, image galleries, or any kind of personal web site, without any knowledge of html.

Web designers can use SiteLander's full html and script support to build sophisticated web sites, with a built-in, easy-to-use Content Management System for their clients.

What makes SiteLander unique?

A great deal of thought has been put into simplifying the web-building process at its core, and optimizing the features in a "less-is-more" approach:

  • The template is extremely sober, free of the bells and whistles of most online templates. If you like "simple and clean", you can just leave it as it is. If you feel inspired, you'll find that its flexibility allows for much more creativity and experimentation than most online templates around.
  • The customization tools are based on external Cascading Style Sheets (CSS, today's proffesional standard). Style Sheets affect the design independently from the content. This gives you more control over your site design, and lets you create multiple Style Sets that can be applied to the entire site in one click, just like "skins".
  • Because the design does not happen inline (in the text content) but rather via the external Style Sheets, the Editor does not need to be a Word-like, full-featured text formatting tool. Instead, it offers just the essential short-cuts to easily insert simple html tags that will inherit the styles defined in the Style Sheet. And the more code-savy users can take advantage of its full html and scripting support.
  • The site navigation generates itself automatically, according to the site directory structure (how files and folders are organized). So building the site structure, sections and sub-sections, is an easy and familiar task – similar to organizing files and folders on your computer.
  • Extensive media support allows for inserting almost any type of video and audio in your pages, while ensuring that the media will play seamlessly in all browsers.
  • In "edit mode" you can edit your site content straight from your live site view, without having to look for your files in the site directory.

Features:

SiteLander's template is based on the most universal and versatile layout (header, left navigation menu, content display, footer) and is highly customizable. SiteLander comes out-of-the-box with several ready-made design "skins" that can be applied to the site in one click.

Because SiteLander uses a files and folders system similar to your computer's, creating sections and sub-sections in your site is as easy as creating folders and sub-folders on your computer. The site navigation generates itself automatically, according to this logical structure.
edit styles screenshot Intuitive Design Customization, consistent with modern web design practices.
The CSS-based customization interface is visual and interactive. There is no coding involved, and the results are visible in real-time. This allows for free experimentation and creativity. Different site-wide designs can be created and stored in your "styles bank", just like "skins".
gallery screenshot Native support for most video and audio formats, instant galleries.
SiteLander can seamlessly embed all kinds of media in your pages: Windows Media, QuickTime, Real Media, Flash (swf) and Flash Video (flv), MP3s, and more. Galleries can be generated automatically, complete with thumbnails and captions.
image editor screenshot Simple text or html Editor, easy file insertion, image manipulation.
The editor provides easy tools to create and format your text content, with or without any html knowledge. Images and Media files can be inserted anywhere in your pages in one click. Images can be resized and cropped.
edit mode screenshot Switch to "Edit Mode", and edit your live site on the fly.
"Where was that file again?..." – search no more: in Edit Mode, just browse through your live site and click on any content for instant editing.
