Traditional methods of updating a website are slow.  The Webfactory automates all the slow tasks so that you can concentrate on the important ones. Our studies suggest that even simple changes can be done five times quicker with the Webfactory - leaving you to concentrate on making the site is a success.

Why traditional methods are slow

Traditional methods are slow because there are a lot of repetitive tasks that need to be done by someone with technical knowledge:

• Producing a layout and style for the new page that is consistent with the site;
• Updating links - for example in contents tables or navigation;
• Converting documents into HTML so that they can be put on the site;
• Previewing layout and making minor corrections.

Why the Webfactory is faster

The webfactory automates all these tasks.  When you add a page to the site, it automatically updates links, navigation, site maps and search engines.  Page layouts and fonts are all applied to the content to keep it consistent.  There's no complex HTML or programming - text is entered using a tool similar to a word processor, and images are all optimised, converted and resized automatically.
