How often does the the final product match the original vision?
A website is conceived with specific purposes and goals. Usually it starts as a design. That design is then transformed into HTML, CSS and Javascript and placed on a Content Management System. The CMS is then handed over to the webmaster. How often does this final product match the original vision?
HiFi is a new CMS that is built from the ground up to address this problem of fidelity: How well does the output signal match the input signal.
More than a CMS really…
There are five key places where HiFi avoids losing the fidelity of a website’s vision:
-
No Design Requirements
A designer does not need to consider CMS constraints when designing a site.
-
Free Templating System
Any arbitrary markup can run on Hifi. No fixed markup is generated by the CMS.
-
Powerful Website API
JSON, RSS, XML, you name it, it is available and enables powerful features.
-
Intuitive Administration
Custom frontend features can be built to have custom administration. Even novices can manage a state-of-the-art site.
-
Useful Reporting
Meet your goals with analytics and reporting that explains everything from traffic on your site to conversations about your site.
