With the release of Avantstar`s Transit Central, available through Computrolley, anyone connected to a network is now able to join the world of automated Web site publishing.
"Transit Central publishes Web sites automatically. The user only need drag and drop documents into the designated directory to create a professional looking site without needing a comprehensive understanding of any programming languages," says Simon Campbell-Young, MD of Computrolley.
"Using Transit Central, you can specify directories in your organisation where content can be collected so that anyone can publish this content on the Web."
Users administer the process by creating the project files Transit Central uses, and by scheduling Transit Central updates to happen as often as needed. Utilisation of Transit Central ensures that Web site content is kept up-to-date. The program checks source documents for content changes, and updates these sections on the Web site on a regular basis.
Campbell-Young says that by using this program to keep a Web site up-to-date, the user can focus more attention on content and spend less time on the creation and day-to-day maintenance of the site.
Aside from making a Web site easier to create, Transit Central also makes sites more enjoyable for visitors. Each visit can be a personalised experience because different audiences can mark content for use. As each user logs in, information can be revealed to that user based upon their own preferences and searches can be filtered according to user access.
Because Transit`s output can be integrated with other Web technologies, such as ASP, Java, XML, search tools and data-bases, Transit Solutions becomes a publishing platform which in turn forms the basis of the Web site. Webmasters no longer have to focus on how to keep the site up-to-date. Instead, they can focus on how to make the site more useful by making it tie-in to other business processes.
