TYPO3 Reality Revisited

July 4th, 2005

I returned from my July 4 weekend today to an email from Simon Angling with a link to his current project. It proves conclusively that, with some hard work, TYPO3 does allow designers to produce standards compliant code.

Simon’s site is fast and light on its feet. I’m sure that he will share it with everyone when the project is ready to launch.

Thanks for dispelling my doubts about the capabilities of this CMS!

Upon receiving Simon’s email, I did some more thorough research and found a detailed tutorial on using TYPO3 to create standards compliant templates.

Hi, I come accross an interesting site
elixon cms

It is a pure XHTML/CSS CMS written in XUL (they claim to be ;-). It looks great. I don’t know much about licensing but to me it looks like great CSS Designer’s dream! The project is in Beta now…

Let me know if somebody knows about Elixon CMS licensing scheme!

How is Microsoft FrontPage software used in the real world? Which web design software is used most in the real world?

Riley:

FrontPage is an HTML editor and is, as such tools go, easy to learn and easy to use.

My chief critique of FrontPage is that it produces HTML code that is sloppy and difficult to read. What this means is that troubleshooting becomes more difficult than it should be. However, it’s possible to create extremely professional Web sites with FrontPage.

FrontPage is mostly used by do-it-yourself businesses. The standard HTML editor used by designers is Macromedia Dreamweaver.
