Stellar Web content management

Stellent rounds out its content management suite of products with Site Studio, a new Web content management application. With the new offering, Stellent’s Web content management provide universal content architecture and includes document management, collaboration, records management and digital asset management.

Site Studio supports the growing trend of companies building multiple (i.e. tens to hundreds) Web sites, the company says, enabling them to quickly deploy these sites and easily maintain consistent branding, security and infrastructure across all sites being developed by their various business units.

Stellent reports Site Studio allows users to create libraries of Web site components, such as templates, navigation, graphics and code, which are then available to their business units when building their own sites. The reusable components allow business units to rapidly and inexpensively deploy their unique Web sites while complying with corporate requirements. Site Studio users also can create components using other programs and import them into the Site Studio library for possible use by the business units, Stellent says.

Stellent further explains Site Studio’s in-context contribution features allow content contributors to maintain accurate, up-to-date content on Web sites. Contributors simply navigate to the area of the Web site requiring modification, where they authenticate and are able to update appropriate content based upon their security permissions. They may then modify content as needed and preview in context how those changes will appear within the live site. If the preview is deemed desirable, they can approve content for publishing to the site or submit the content to workflow for editing and approval.

Full in-context preview and approval of content items in workflow is also available, says the company. In addition, users can contribute content through WYSIWYG, form-based templates or directly from native applications, such as word processing and spreadsheet programs.
