PageLime: Simple CMS Which Integrates With Your Websites And Business
For web designers who frequently build new websites for clients, managing the content can be a headache:
- no CMS is used and you may need to edit the content manually
- the CMS can be complicated for the client
- or, maybe the worst, the CMS you're using is outdated, has bugs, frequently requires updates, etc. (and you have to update it in many websites)
PageLime is an impressive CMS service which is so simple to use (both for the designer and client) + instantly integrates with your websites and business.
You can create websites how you used to and just add a special class: cms-editable to the parts that you want to be edited like text, images or links.
The pages are edited with live-previews and, besides simple editable regions, you can control more like:
- repeating-regions (where you can duplicate and move up/down items quickly)
- multi-level navigations
- server-side include files
It allows you to control any number of websites from the same interface with a permission-based multi-user interface where you can define "who can edit which website".
PageLime keeps track of every action you (or your client) make and you can restore a previously saved version of a page with a click.
The application is not only about editing, it connects to your website through an FTP account and enables you to create new pages too. And, pages can be created from your pre-defined templates (like product page, content page, etc.).
It includes a smart image manager where you won't require an image editing application any more as it is possible to sharpen, resize, adjust colors, and apply effects to photos right from the web interface.
Another nice feature that your clients will love is the ability to reach the Google Analytics stats inside the panel which makes the application a complete package.
It is multilanguage, brandable (white label) and resellable
Like said, PageLime tightly integrates with your business as well.
You can brand the application and define a CNAME record so it'll work under your domain name and, as a result, your clients will be controlling their websites from an easy-to-use application that looks and feels like a service of yours.
And, you can charge your clients for using the service. You just setup your price and that's all, PageLime handles the billing, notifications, etc.

5 Free Solutions To Create A Question-Answer Website
Question & answer websites (like Stack Overflow) are great platforms for enabling communities to share knowledge and help each other.
Although they are kinda similar-in-function with the forum applications (check 9 Widely-Used And Free Forum Softwares), the main focus is finding the (best) answers.

Question2Answer
Question2Answer is an application that is built with PHP-MySQL that has a points-based reputation system.
Users can comment into any questions and they can be tagged.
It can be totally styled with CSS and has an admin interface to manage the whole application.
QSQA
QSQA enables anyone to instantly create a full-featured question-answer community where users can earn point/badges for their contribution.
It is written in Python and powered by the Django application framework.
Shapado
This question-answer application is written in Ruby, MongoMapper and MongoDB.
It is multilingual and, optionally, users can create their own websites in a free hosted platform rather than installing it.
Qwench
Qwench is a simple-yet-functional application.
It comes with a points/rewards system, an entry can be posted as a knowledge-base article (for corporate sites) and it can be customized via CSS.
Qhub
Qhub is a free hosted platform for creating a q&a website where the look-feel can be customized and members can be managed easily.
You can optionally use a URL under Qhub or your own domain name.
