eZ Publish, Start Simple, Enhance Later.
My favorite feature of eZ is that you can start out with a single content type, a blog, a forum, an article, whatever format gets a site up quickly. Then add new content by filling out forms in a web browser. Producing web content cannot be made much simpler than that.
Start with just you, secure in the knowledge that everything needed to grow the site to an enterprise publishing system is in there. If you have ever had to transfer everything you have done, all your content, from one system to another, you know how much time and trouble is involved. The more content, the more time and trouble. Within eZ Publish is everything required to implement a complete web publishing system at the enterprise level. EZ has been tested and proven to scale right up to the needs of international publishing enterprises.
The eZ philosophy, simply stated, is let web developers do their job, let content producers do their job, let layout guys do their job, and let editors do their jobs. Without requiring co-mingling of expertise anywhere along the way. For simple sites, use out-of-the-box functionality for everything except the final content, fill out web forms and publish. Let the default eZ be your web developer and layouts designer in other words.
- Content producers should and do only need basic typing and computer skills to create content.
- As the enterprise grows, editors can review incoming content, schedule publishing, and do whatever else editors do, with no knowledge of any css, html, or anything else they don't really need to know.
- If you want a custom appearance, layout artists can dive into the CSS and templating structures, skin and theme to their heart's content, to create that appearance.
- For the ultimate in custom sites, eZ or their partners can help create structures for holding absolutely any kind of content that can be served from the web. With forty plus default content types ready to use out of the box, it may be a while before you need more.
- No vendor lockin to hold back your dreams or sunset your implementation. You are never artificially restricted, or wholly dependent upon a single vendor or developer to get the content you need to the web on your schedule. Open source and open standards assure a broad base of talent is always on tap.
The eZ concept is to build the intelligence into the machine and the system. Let everyone do the jobs they best know how to do, at the level they know how to do it. Add only the additional expertise needed, when and wher it is needed.
