Big Medium is a web-based content-management system that allows you to update your site from anywhere in the world. And it's easy: users with basic word-processing skills and a web browser can add or edit content without touching any HTML, instantly updating your website in its own familiar look and feel. Writers and editors simply cut and paste articles and other content into a form in their browsers, adding images or pullquotes with the click of a button.
This means the end of broken links and HTML typos. Big Medium manages all of the links on your site, updating your home page and section page with every addition or change of content that you make. And because Big Medium also manages all of the HTML/XHTML formatting of your pages, you don't have to worry about making any careless mistakes in the code. All of your pages are squeaky clean and completely compliant with web standards.
Design updates take minutes, not months
Big Medium's separation of content from design gives you flexibility as well as simplicity. You can change the design of your entire site in minutes, simply by updating your design templates. The templates are easy to create and edit, putting you in complete control of your site's design, layout and code standards.
Why stop with one site?
The web is a pretty big medium itself. Companies may have multiple websites to address different audiences. Schools may have individual websites for each department, class or teacher. Non-profits may have a different website for each program they administer.
Big Medium helps you keep up with it all, managing as many sites as you like on a single server.
Beyond your website
With its news-feed features, Big Medium lets you tap the net's innate grassroots marketing power, allowing you to reach customers and readers even when they aren't visiting your site. Discover how the RSS news feed can outdo e-mail newsletters in keeping your audience up-to-date with your latest content, and use the JavaScript news feed to allow other websites to display freshly updated links to your site.
Everyone can do what they do best
Every user has their own password-protected account that determines what they're allowed to do on the website. Five levels of access privileges give you broad control over who can do what.
Authors and editors can manage their own content. Photographers and illustrators can add their own images. Managers and publishers can review content before it's published to the live site. And, finally, web professionals can focus on jobs that actually make good use of their skills. Instead of formatting HTML or making small content edits, developers and designers can turn to more engaging projects, creating innovative new designs and exciting new applications for your website.
Big Medium makes everything easy, unburdening you of the tiring, repetitive aspects of web management so that you and your organization can be more productive and creative.
