Experienced Web designers know that their projects don’t end with the publishing of a client’s new website. In order to succeed on the Web, clients need their site content to be constantly kept up to date with periodic additions and revisions. But in order to succeed in their business, Web designers need to be able to focus their energy on new creative work and not time-consuming updates. What to do?
NetObjects nPower offers the perfect solution for both Web designers and their clients. With a full suite of easy to-use editing tools, nPower allows website owners of any technical skill level to confidently make updates to their sites. Web designers can rest easy knowing that nPower protects their creative work with fully-scalable controls and safeguards.
Web designers use NetObjects Fusion 9 to build their client’s websites. While designing the site in Fusion 9, the designers set editing protections - they determine whether text can be edited, an image can be moved or whether pages can be added for example.
Once the website has been published, the website owner can take over control of routine editing tasks by using NetObjects nPower. Since the Web designer has already set all of the site’s editing protections and publishing settings, the client can make their changes with complete confidence. And because nPower is completely integrated with NetObjects Fusion 9, designers can import the site back into Fusion at any time to make more extensive modifications - without needing to re-create their client’s modifications.
At this point, some designers are probably thinking, "Sounds great - but what if a client makes changes that they aren’t happy with? Then it’s up to me to fix it, right?" No - nPower has built-in site management controls that Web designers will really appreciate. Since nPower posts dated versions of the site to a repository on the main Web server, rolling back a site to a previous version for whatever reason takes only a few clicks - and can be done by either the site owner or the Web designer.

Features

Designer tools

• Locking content
  Site designers use the new administrative tools in NetObjects Fusion 9 to determine what content should be editable and what design elements should be protected. Clients can tell at a glance what content is protected by looking for padlock icons while editing their site.
• Maintaining the integrity of the site design
  NetObjects nPower allows clients to keep their websites up to date while still giving Web designers exclusive control of site design and structure. With the enhancements to NetObjects Fusion 9, Web designers manage what content can be changed - and the exact nature of those changes. Size, placement, aspect ratios and editing functions can be protected for objects, entire pages, whole site levels, Layouts and MasterBorders.
  NetObjects nPower's lockable content support ensures that site owners can make their updates with complete confidence that their changes won't spoil the integrity of their websites. And Web designers can rest easy knowing that built-in controls and safeguards will protect the site's design and structure.

Site owner tools

• Easy-to use editing tools
  What's nPower's secret to opening website editing to anyone? It's simple - nPower uses the same easy-to use and easy-to-learn Drag & Drop interface that has made NetObjects Fusion the industry standard in WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Web design.
  With nPower, if your clients are familiar with using word processing software, then they're ready to edit their website. Because there's absolutely no Web-coding or HTML knowledge needed, there's practically no learning curve - even the most novice users can safely make changes to their website with ease. Clients can easily add, remove or modify their website's pages, text, images, links, tables, meta tags and more as frequently as they would like.
• Be protected - without feeling restricted
  The goal of nPower is to open website editing to site owners of any skill level - without compromising the integrity of a carefully designed site. Designer-controlled protections and locking tools make sure that site owners can make their changes without fear of ruining the look and feel of their site.
  For example, a designer may specify that text in a certain area should be editable, but that moving the location of the text on the page should be restricted. Or certain key graphics on a page can be completely locked from movement and deletion while others on the same page can be replaced or resized to suit their client’s needs. Icons of a padlock visually indicate to the site owner which objects are locked.

Site management

• Version controls
  Make sure everyone is on the same page with NetObjects nPower's automatic version control and site check-out notifications. When a site owner is ready to make an update, nPower checks for the most recent version of the web site and notifies the client if there is a newer version available. A new version of the entire site is uploaded when the client decides to check in the version they are working on. To help manage valuable server space, NetObjects Power automatically notifies users with a pop-up message when a preset number of versions on the server is reached.
• Site check-out notification
  Since making site updates with nPower is so easy, it’s entirely possible that two people would want to make updates at the same time. If someone already has the site checked-out for editing, the user is notified - preventing important updates from being overwritten.
• Turn back time with site rollback
  NetObjects nPower gives Web designers and their clients the freedom to change their mind. Should a client decide that their change wasn't exactly what they wanted, undoing changes is just a few clicks away with the site rollback features in nPower. NetObjects nPower keeps track of the latest changes and allows designers and their clients the ability to rollback to a previous version of the site at any time for any reason.
• Auto-populated publish settings
  With NetObjects nPower, there's no need for clients to learn and memorize complicated publishing settings - the site designer sets the correct publish settings once and that's it. Whether changes are going to a staging server for review or are being published to a live server, users simply click "Publish Site" and their changes are posted instantly.
