The official current production version of webpiston is 7. We made it throught another release.The implementation had a few kinks, but we worked them out and had everything functioning perfectly in short period of time. The release has been an overall success and we are adding more users than ever.
Web Piston Development Version 8
Even though we just released a version of WP, a lot of work has been put into version 8 already. Plans for the next version of Web Piston were already being written up before the release of version 7. There is a lot of planning, design, and development ahead, but right now the post release calm is kind of nice.
Template Design
I have been working on a CSS based template for web piston. Since the release I have mede some progress but I still have a few things to add before I add it to the list of templates available for use in web piston.
Hello Readers.
I am Matt (villagetech) , the lead developer of Web Piston. This blog will serve as a chronicle of development, ideas and thoughts about Web Piston. I also want to provide a base for users to further customize their sites using some of the underlying systems that make up the web piston platform. Though WP is designed to be an easy to use site builder, anyone can add some more advanced functionality their site a little extra effort.
WP Status Update:
Web Piston 7 is currently in internal beta. This release is one of the largest updates since the introduction of our assistant technology. The major changes for this release are: The introduction of the contractor assistant (to help contracting firms easily build web sites), New Templates, and new Search engine optimization tools. A lot of work was also done on the core components of WP for better publishing, faster site setups and more.
The contractor assistant has many new features that we will be adding to the existing assistants (business, hobby, etc.) shortly after the release is finalized. These features include:
- Page creation through our "Paragraph Console" - a system that breaks pages up into blocks of content (paragraphs). This system allows users to build a very customized page easily without having to worry about layout design.
- Search engine optimization help system including keyword analysis and optimized text generation.
Last but not least, Web Piston Village. You are looking at it. We have forums, we have blogs, and a little SEO.
