As a content editor, your responsibility will be to provide dynamic and rich content directly into your website, and you will no doubt already appreciate that your website is one of your most important marketing tools, and your 'shop window' to the world.

With that in mind, it is unlikely you are too interested in how WebLab actually works, but more so about how quickly and simply you can create and edit pages in your website - period. Lets take a look at some of the key features of editing a website in WebLab:

Full WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) XHTML text editor

Designing your page templates or adding content to your pages can all be done in real time, in a powerful design environment, directly in your browser.

Microsoft 'Word' like icons drive the text editor, with simple to use editing, formatting, text styling and alignment tools all within a simple click interface.

• Create your own styles or link to dedicated CSS files (Cascading Style Sheets) previously set up by your template designers
• Fast spell checking of your content, directly in the web browser with full control over alterations, standard and custom dictionaries and spell highlighting for fast proof and error correction needs
• Fast access to image and resource libraries, allowing you to add pictures and documents to your pages as standard hyperlinks
• Easy internal link creator; browse your entire site when linking to internal pages and just 'click the page'
• Launch external links as new windows, into the same page, to invoke custom javascript commands, or launch email clients
• Simple and clear access to less common characters like ©, ™, ® and may more - just select them from a drop down panel in the editor

The WebLab WYSIWYG editor is full of simple yet powerful features to make your content editing a breeze.

Instantly See Your Work in 'Live Preview'

Switch between 'edit' and 'preview' modes with a single click. WebLab flips the view to show you your current edited page with full navigation and other WebLab Lingo inserts displayed as if the page was live.

Of course, you can switch view and keep on editing the page as much as you need to, safe knowing that no affects will appear in the live website until the page has been approved and published.

Embedded ‘WorkFlow’

Once a page has been edited, submit it into the WebLab workflow for approval and final publication to the live website, removing the responsibility of final text proof and publication approval from authoring staff.
