  • Caliban powers new site

    Web page production in double-quick time

    We announced Caliban - the Web Wizard - in the last e-letter. Though still in development and testing, it is now providing the power behind the new Daybook website.

    Caliban is a unique tool to help you

    * Produce and host highly targeted web pages
    * Optimise their chances of being found by search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, HotBot, Lycos, AltaVista and so on.
    * Increase the number of links to your site


    One of Caliban's great strengths is that it let you publish content on the web in double-quick time - and content, these days is king, as far the web is concerned.

    A number of sites now have pages served by Caliban, as part of our extensive testing and development programme.

    Look at www.daybook.co.uk the new Daybook site and you will see a site that, apart from the home page is managed using Caliban. This page, for instance is coming to you courtesy of Caliban. It makes pages easy to put up and maintain, with no special skill required other than being able to use a web browser.

    Want to be able to change page content, or add links in seconds - and all without knowing how web pages work? Then Caliban is the solution.

    Want to change the look of your entire site in minutes rather than days? Caliban is the answer.

    Want to create pages that are automatically optimized for search engines? Caliban is the solution again.

    How does it work?

    Caliban uses templates. They can be as simple or as complex as you like and you can have many of them in one site, to handle the different types of pages you have. This page has been specially designed for the e-letter, whereas the pages giving an overview of the Enterprise 6 suite use a different template entirely - and a much more complex one.

    Once the template has been done, you just add content via a browser interface. It's fast, non-technical, and you get perfect results every time. Once you have put the content in, Caliban creates the page's title, keywords, description and other tags. It's a breeze!

    In short Caliban is how we managed to get so much content onto our new site in such a short space of time - when there were so many other things to do as well!

    You can either have your content served on calibanweb.com or set up a subdomain on your DNS server (e.g. pages.yourdomain.co.uk) which points at the Caliban server.

    Caliban is being launched shortly. For further information, or to register for a free trial, email
