QuickPages is a web-based |
...
wizard that lets anyone make a professional-looking website quickly. |
...
Web-based: Sites are created and edited with a web browser. QuickPages lives on an IS&T server.
Anyone: It will be available to the MIT community
Professional looking: Sites are made with built-in templates and stylesheets. This gives you a baseline decent-looking website. You may customize the HTML further as your inclinations and technical skill allow.
Quickly: QuickPages helps you lay out your site with a site creation wizard. The edit tool lets you easily add pages and navigation menu items.
AUDIENCE
This will be of interest to users and sites who:
* want a good-looking site but don't have web designers on staff
* want to update their sites themselves
* need a tool that's simpler than Dreamweaver
* want a simple, straightforward publishing tool that doesn't require a lot of training
* publish mostly static html content
It's focused on automating the simple site creation that departments typically spend $2K-$7K for with outside vendors. QuickPages is in the early pilot stage. Read the full overview, with key features and business considerations. Quick LinksKey Milestones

TIMEFRAME
There will be a two-phase pilot, followed by launch.
First pilot phase: Spring 2008 (Q3FY08)
Goals: Install software on our servers and make it work with the MIT environment (e.g. MIT web certificates). Give Usability Lab and ATIC access for a full test drive, and collect their feedback. Continue to get community feedback with demos. Continue template development with PSB. Create the QuickPages project page using QuickPages so we have a firsthand understanding of the customer's experience.
Second pilot phase: Summer 2008 (Q4FY08 and Q1FY09)
