Content Management is a special form of Web-Development. It enables customers/users to edit the content of an internet appearance – to change or to extend the structure of a page.
Despite there being a great number of CMS systems we prefer to use our own: depage::cms.
depage::cms was originally developed for Hesse design, but now a good many websites have it. We first developed it because we were not happy with the user interface of the existing CMS systems.
depage::cms is based on PHP, MySQL and a Flash based interface.
For more information about depage::cms there are links to Source-Repository, short documentations etc. on the depage::cms-website.
HTML-Forms are simple to write – but to do it in a good way and to make them comfortable to use is not an easy task.
There are a few things you will have to do again and again:
Write the HTML for the form itself
Style the form in the right way
Validate the data in the browser (optional)
Validate the data on the server (never optional - don't forget!)
Additionally make sure the user don't have to fight with the browser e.g. strange messages about "resending" data on reloading the page and using back- and forward-buttons.
büro uebele gets its web presence with depage::cms

textfreiraum is a editorial agency, that takes the liberty to write articles, features and commentary independently as possible. We were invited to design their new internet appearance. Because textfreiraum lives and breathes through text, we had to find a layout that leaves a lot of space for the various texts.
The content: Essays about Design
Textually textfreiraum consists of three basic topics:
Our depage blog is online — with news and interior views of our projects. You are also most welcome to subscribe to Atom-Feed, so that we can always keep you updated.
This year the official decision has finally been made: We will publish the coming depage::cms version under an opensource license, thereby making it available to a wider base of users and developers.
Because this process will take some time (documentation, source code management on the basis of git, etc.) we must ask you to bear with us. If you are interested and would like to be informed about new developments, you can register for our newsletter and we will keep you up to date.
