WebKinetic CMS Powering Accessible Content

Thursday, 06 May 2004

TT360 are proud to announce the latest release of WebKinetic, the modular based content management system aimed specifically at satisfying the requirements of SMEs, and local authorities.

WebKinetic is the end product of over two years of investigation and development into the provision of online services and has been designed specifically to provide a simple yet flexible solution for the management of web based content.

Features

Targeting both the public sector and private sectors, WebKinetic offers the wide range of features that you’d expect from a middle market product such as:

• WYSIWYG Editor tools
• Image libraries and manipulation tools
• File libraries
• Organisation directories
• Discussion forums and interactive polling
• Events scheduler
• Custom forms builder
• Access controls and granular permissions
• Users and groups
• XML feeds and content distribution

However in addition to the range of features available, through the innovative use of a modular design, WebKinetic is fully expandable with the capability for new modules to be developed and integrated providing for infinite possibilities, future proofing your investment.

Interoperability

WebKinetic supports the latest e-GIF and e-GMS government guidelines including the use of content categorisation and the provision of content for interoperability using XML and Web Services. WebKinetic can deliver or consume XML based content between disparate systems using standards based categorisation.

Accessibility

WebKinetic provides fully accessible content that meets with the rigorous requirements set out by the W3C for WCAG 1.0 compliance to level AAA. Accessibility is now an essential consideration for any organisation that provides or is looking to provide online services.

As highlighted in a recent study performed by the Disabilities Rights Commission (DRC), the majority of the 1000 web sites tested failed to meet even the most basic of accessibility requirements, alienating a large number of potential customers and leaving themselves vulnerable to threat of legal action.

“WebKinetic produces content that’s fully WAI-AAA compliant without any additional effort from content authors. This has the obvious benefit of ensuring that your web site is within the legal framework of the Disabilities Discrimination Act but also has the added advantage that your web sites is available to the widest possible audience “, John Torrisi Director
