clearString is the fastest and most reliable way to create websites and applications that use any level of data management, from a simple CMS website with direct on page editing, to the most complex data and multiple-user applications.
All tasks, from configuring CSS through constructing database queries are handled by Components.
This enables quick, precise site construction without coding errors.
The single download creates an integrated web and data platform on your own machine or in an Amazon AWS-EC2 Instance.
Integrating database output with application design - 3m
Concentrate on development - not coding
The Component based construction system eliminates coding errors and debugging problems, but does not limit functionality. This means you concentrate on developing the application without worrying about the coding overhead. clearString will produce bug-free, fully optimized mark-up and deliver the pages for you, but you still have access to the page source and can install your own client-side scripts if you need to. No local software is installed - you work direct in your web-browser: Firefox, Chrome, Safari or IE.
Embedding - Data integrated with design
Website or application construction is done using Page components that are dropped into place onto a ‘site tree’. These Pages themselves provide a fully functional CMS system with no further configuration required. The clearString difference is that the Pages also act as ‘surfaces’ where you can embed the output of sophisticated data constructs. Multiple Feed, Query and View components provide the management tools to bring data into the system and manipulate it as needed.
Understanding embedding - <2m
The data output ‘views’ are embedded onto the Pages and can be mixed with graphics and text to exactly fit your design.
Designed for team work
The embedded Component model also means that you can split site and application construction into different teams, each responsible for a different aspect and be sure that everything will work and that styling will be consistent. New sites and applications can be reliably created by users who are not scripters or coders, and the results can be maintained by anyone into the future.
clearString provides the complete hosting and construction environment. Installed in one location it serves the web-pages and manages user access and security. No other software is required. There is no local software to install, so sites can be worked on seamlessly from anywhere - in the office, at home or on the road using a regular web browser.
Cost effective
clearString licensing enables hosting on any suitable computer, even a local machine. This can enable extremely low hosting costs, or even eliminate them all together. clearString does not tie you to any particular hosting regime. clearString and all the sites it can host for you is fully portable from one provider to another, and individual sites can easily be moved from one instance to another.
Web developers normally do not need to purchase a license to create sites, you simply need one for your customer when the site or app is delivered.
Datacenter licensing
clearString is a full solution to commercial website development problems. Your clearString software doesn't just provide an editing interface, but also can run multiple site hosting. clearString knows how busy sites are, and can run charging plans for you: you can charge flat-rate monthly amounts, or charge in proportion to site usage. The system keeps track of all this, and emails your clients when they owe you money, allows them to pay online and automatically credit their accounts.
