CityDesk

CityDesk is a powerful web content management system which you can run on your own desktop. Using CityDesk, you can create a sophisticated web site that is easy to maintain and manage.
This is a single article. CityDesk provides a powerful, built-in word processor, with WYSIWYG formatting, a spell checker, search and replace, and more. Use the "Properties" and "Extras" tabs (above) to edit the other aspects of this article, like the author and headline.
In the main window, use the "New Article" icon to create more articles. Use the "Preview on This Computer" icon to see what your site will look like when it is published. Use the "Variables" icon to change the name and tagline of your site.
You can change anything you want about the appearance of your site. Edit the index article in the main window to change the front page. Use the Templates icon to modify the template that is used to format articles, or add your own templates. Youll see little bits of CityDesk scripting language code, a very simple language that defines how pages are assembled when you publish the site.
You can drop pictures, HTML files, or any other kind of file into the main window - they will be published as-is. You can even create directories and subdirectories, which will be copied to the web server.
Once the site appears the way you like it, use the "Publish Locations" icon to add a new location where you want your site to be published. This can be either a directory or an FTP server. This will create a new toolbar icon which you can use to publish to that location.
Youve only scratched the surface of CityDesks incredible power. You can also:
create a multilingual site, with split-screen translations
create new template families to create versions of your site for different devices or with different appearances (for example, a "printer-friendly" version, a Microsoft Word document, an XML version, or a concise version for PDAs)
define multiple audiences and fine-tune your message for each audience
create articles which only appear after and/or before a certain date
work with multiple authors simultaneously. Just put the CityDesk .cty file on a file share and a whole team of authors, designers, and editors can open it at the same time!
use variables to create text throughout the site which can be changed in just one place
turn off "designer mode" so that you dont accidentally change the overall site appearance. With designer mode off, CityDesk is the easiest way for complete novices to add content to a site that you designed.
