Web-N-Able is a new product/service that is a real-time web-based
content management tool with a built in menuing system.
Web-N-Able guarantees that a web site will pass the "2-click" test...No page on a web site based on Web-N-Able technology will ever be more than 2 clicks away.
Web-N-Able tames the organizational complexities of maintaining a high-end web site, allowing companies to
concentrate on providing excellent content for their web pages. Now, non-technical content and marketing
managers can "grow" their web sites without worrying about the usual time delays and costs normally associated
with these issues. Web-N-Able's intelligent, location aware menu system ensures that no "click" is wasted and
that navigation around the web site remains intuitive.
Once Cuesta sets up its unique template system, clients have ultimate control over all aspects of their web site.
Site component assets, such as text content, graphics, and data, can be edited separately without interfering with
other components or the code for the site. Company representatives can view the site organization and contents of
each section via a secure web page. All they need is a browser--there is no need to install or learn any additional
software.
In addition to being able to create, edit and delete new pages within the web site, Web-N-Able allows the user to
easily rearrange pages and sections and manipulate menus. Because the underlying code that is built into the
template "knows" about the web site structure, navigational elements and menu items are automatically updated,
ensuring that the integrity of the web site stays intact.

"Web-N-Able has really simplified the process for updating our web site", stated Kelly Caldwell, webmaster for
Steck-Vaughn Publishing Co., a division of Harcourt Brace. "Now, whenever we want to make changes to our
extensive web site, we simply do it. We no longer have to wait for or pay an outside service to do the
modification, and we're assured that all new pages will conform to our site's intricate structure."
Inherent in a web site based on Web-N-Able technology are a number of highly prized features such as dynamic
page generation, detailed visitor and session tracking and click minimization. Embedded in this elegant solution is
a guarantee that all the necessary details will be handled properly "behind the scenes" when changes are made to a
web site. "Web-N-Able makes me look like an experienced webmaster", says Tino Banuelos of Healthy Kid's
Resource Center, a program administered for the CA Department of Education. Banuelos continued, "The system
was so easy to learn to use--I recommend it highly to any manager responsible for web site maintenance."
"It takes a lot of small, detailed steps to properly set-up and maintain a web site. Too many companies have to
rely on outside services to update their web pages", said Monty Swiryn, Cuesta's General Manager. He
continued, "Web-N-Able allows us to do the basic engineering of the site and then "hand off" the content
management portion of the task to the client. In this way we're saving the company thousands of dollars and
weeks of frustration."
A new Web-N-Able web site or site "make-over" costs $6,500 (+ graphics design if necessary) and includes web
site hosting on Cuesta's high-performance web server, a home page with up to eight sections and 12 pages per
section, three custom page templates (home page, main section page and information page), dynamically
generated navigational menus for each section, email links, and weekly usage reports.
