Why NextCMS: Desktop-like user interface
Jan 19, 2015
This slide introduces about the interface of NextCMS, one of many reasons that you should choose NextCMS instead of other one.
- Entire interface of all modules in the back-end look like a desktop application, so it is very easy (and fun) to use even if you are non-professional user.
- You will feel comfortable and familiar with interface controls: menu, button, select box, drop down list, etc.
- The controls are disabled automatically based on the current state/data or if you do not have permission to perform the associating action
- Many actions can be done by dragging and dropping
- Thanks for Ajax technology, all pages are loaded quickly and there are no redirection anymore when open new page

NextCMS is a content management, built on top of zend framework, dojo toolkit, and jquery
it is free and open source software
this slide tell you one of many reasons why you should choose NextCMS instead of other one
in other CMS, managing data (articles, for example) includes the following pages: listing articles
adding new article: 1. open new page 2. save 3. redirect to listing page
editing an article: 1. search 2. open new page 3. save 4. redirect
too many pages take a long time ?
in NextCMS, all actions are done in only one page
browsing
searching adding
paging
saving cancelling
one page, no more redirections
the server does NOT have to reload CSS, Javascript
the data can be reused across modules
(introduced more details in another slide …)
