Chapter 8 - Building PageBuilder Pages

PageBuilder is a tool that lets you build Web pages in Ektron CMS400.NET. What makes PageBuilder unique as a Web page creation tool is two-fold:

First, it provides non-technical users with a simple way to build rich and fully-featured Web pages

Second, the Ektron development community can leverage PageBuilder as a simple way to reuse and share common functionality from one Ektron-powered site to another.

PageBuilder leverages the versatility of Ektron Portal Framework to streamline the process of building new pages on your Web site. Members of an organizations’ Web team can now more efficiently make changes to pages and content, without relying on the availability of developers. Ultimately, PageBuilder helps not only redefine roles within an organization, but also maximizes efficiency and productivity.

In a typical PageBuilder scenario, the initial layout is managed by developers, while the final content, design, and placement of functionality is managed by non-technical users who have a need for creating specific Web pages. These non-technical, content authors would typically be marketing departments or similar organizations.
