New CMS, works with Xara web pages!

[xtom]

It took a while but the first release version of XT-CMS is finally ready and the good news of course is that it can be used with web pages designed and exported from Xara!

With this cms you can setup and run a blog on your website, sell products with shopping cart functionality, manage users and user groups, restrict access to certain pages, add contact forms and lots more. There's no widgets, no iframes, it all runs on the page and it's all hosted on your own server/host.

To check it out go to http://www.xt-cms.com/

I'm hoping do up some tutorial videos over the next while.

Hi xtom - great work, that looks interesting. One thing I wasn't left with a clear understanding from your site was whether XT-CMS works with any web pages, irrespective of the tool used to create them, or is it fundamentaly tied to to sites created through Xara?

[xtom]

You don't have to use Xara, the cms works with the exported html pages so you can also hand code html pages using any html editor and use those as well. For pages created using wysiwyg software such as Xara the cms needs to import the pages and make them compatible. Right now it only does this for Xara because this is what I use myself, it would probably be possible to write import code for other wysiwyg editors but for now it's just Xara or hand made html pages.

Congratulations!
I'll purchase soon. I could by the way imagine that you might reach more customers if you
recorded some quick workflow-tutorials, showcasing the ease of use and possible advantages of using Xara together with your CMS.
The Demo on your Site is already quite neat but a Video-Clip which showcase the extended options "hands on" was certainly even better.

I second that, polyxo.

A Xara Presentation, tutorial videos and a sand-box area that allows you to play with XT-CMS would really help to attract new customers.

Thanks for your interest guys, I'll do my best to get some tutorial videos up on to youtube as soon as possible.
