Guide Review - Flexwindow
Have you ever wished updating your web site were as easy as, say, sending an email? With Flexwindow it almost is.
First, you have to define certain content areas on your site (or have your developer do that for you). Then you write an email with the content you want to appear in that "Flexwindow". You can even use an email client capable of producing HTML to format your content or use HTML tags in a plain text email.
Of course, only people with a valid password can submit content in this way. This may not be enough to prevent others from taking over your site, considering that the password is sent in plain text with every update.
If this is not a concern for you, however, you get an easy to use, flexible and cheap content management system.
