You can also update all meta tags on any individual page, again by simply clicking on an icon on the page.

I will be making some tutorial videos for the site that should help a lot in getting a buzz going once people see just how easy it really is to integrate into the HTML.  The CMS market has been made quite tough for web designers by the requirement for a great deal of technical knowledge needed to get other CMS’es and working with an existing design.

I think that the majority of design companies, once they have decided to go the Joomla route, are resigned to the fact that the site is going to look like a Joomla site no matter what they do.

In fact, my hardest task has actually been getting people to see how simple the WhiteDragon can really be, once they have been exposed to other CMS’es. Nobody can really believe it can be that easy.  I can’t blame them.  I remember installing one particular extension for Mambo.  I thought it would be real easy and had a Monday deadline.  I started early on the Saturday morning so I could get it out of the way and have a good night out and not worry about trying to get it done on the Sunday with a hangover… What a “happy” weekend that was. I got a massive headache, but not from any booze!

That had to be one of the contributing factors for the creation of the WhiteDragon, although there were many such straws for this camel over the last few years.

More updates as I get the videos done.

What it means to us is that we can add a whole new module (like Newsletter management or a shopping cart) by just dropping in the needed code.  Then create a page with just one line of code in it, and all the CSS, templates, etc. are applied instantly and automatically.  Presto, existing site plus new module plus new page(s).

It does things like – picking up the template to apply from the sub-directory name itself, so you can either change the template, or just move the file to the relevant sub-directory and update any links.  Job done.

Well done guys!
