Web application development
clearString is software for web application development - website building and application creation - by web developers, business owners and graphic designers that installs onto a current Windows box or server. clearString uses the neatComponents™ Platform which has been designed to bring your projects to completion in days, not months.
The Layout Manager is your 'website'.
The Layout Manager gives easy control over the layout of the website to Users logged on with the correct level of security.
The Website view gives you a live clickable site map. Pages and Components can be added, deleted and renamed and you can control individual page and section behavior. You can click and drag pages and sections to new positions in the site and clearString will retain all the page associations, graphics, links and relationships and automatically fix-up the navigation. Data based application development is fast, powerful and simple.
Online web application development
clearString - neatComponents web application development is different. It isn't just a web-based GUI for manipulating grid-form database structures. In fact, you never see the 'database' at all.
It is a complete toolbox of encapsulated components for creating and managing all sorts of web development from a simple single-pager to the most sophisticated e-commerce or data-management website. It is fully integrated and installs from a single download. Components always work - there is no debugging thousands of lines of code and you never have to worry about interpreting code when staff turnover.
Don't sweat the hard stuff - we've already done it
There is no coding, no programming but it is still fully flexible - without requiring creative compromises. It is not a template system. There is an unlimited ability to make back-end changes, create forms, use queries, & create site designs, and database management is fully integrated.
Modern websites are much more than can be expected of just one person - but you are just one person. clearString allows you full creative freedom whilst taking care of all the technical aspects: nightmares like
- database integration,
- user permissions,
- website hosting,
- e-commerce,
- content management,
- e-mail integration,
- and much more.

What more could you want?
Let your existing clients update their own sites, whilst you work with new ones
It's always more profitable - and fun - to be working on new projects, but existing clients need constant attention too. neatComponents allows you to let clients make changes to their sites themselves.It protects them from the technical aspects like HTML, and also from inadvertantly destroying templates and site furniture.
What's more, the increased immediacy and control this gives them over the site enables you to sell this aspect as a premium feature. This allows you to effectively charge them for making changes to their own site. Meanwhile, you can concentrate on new clients, and new revenue streams.
And always get paid on time
Your clearString software doesn't just provide an editing interface, but also runs the hosting too. So it knows how busy sites are, and can run charging plans for you: you can charge flat-rate monthly amounts, or be creative and charge in proportion to site usage (a good plan, since sites tend to get busier over time).
An Accounts Console gives a birds-eye view of your business with a Summary of all Accounts by Month, showing the individual account Status with Invoices, Payments and Balance figures - all automatically generated and tied into an online payment system.
The system keeps track of all this, and emails your clients when they owe you money, allows them to pay online, into your PayPal or similar account, and if they don't pay, encourages them to do so by suspending their site. All this without you having to lift a finger.
No awkward phone calls, no excuses.
