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.
