Content Gadget 2.5 Arrives

Trinity Applied Internet has been working hard on a little gem we call Content Gadget.  (That’s the database driven application that allows a client to maintain their website content, images, user data, meta-information and keywords from their own web interface.)  While most of our clients require quite a bit of customization, we have been working on developing a standard platform that will be a solid solution for many websites.  Well, ta da! We are one giant leap closer to that with what we are calling version 2.5. (And really not that far away from 3.0 — which to us, is really exciting.)

After hearing feedback from users of content management systems as diverse as Content Gadget, Joomla!, and DotNetNuke, Keith had a ton of ideas brewing around how to make the system as easy as possible to use.   His primary concern was building all the different components (modules, tools) to be utilized intuitively.  All the elements use the same vocabulary of drop down menus and fillable fields in order to make the users’ experience consistent throughout the system.

This is especially important for those clients who also have heavy-duty applications that have been custom-built for their site.  A client could have a lot to deal with, between managing the content, culling and responding to lead gen data, and maintaining special business applications such as password protected white-papers and financial reporting.  We feel you should not have to be a qualified DBA or other IT professional to maintain and utilize your website, so we’re making it as simple and elegant as possible to learn the system.  Clients without all the custom applications should find the changes make their administration even easier.
