Raconteur: A CMS for Static Websites

Northern Village uses Raconteur, a CMS for Static Websites as its tool of choice for creating content-driven websites.

The Raconteur is an ideal tool to help build, design, and maintain a static website. The main features include:

• Editing website content through a web browser, by people with basic computer skills.
• Easy ongoing changes, additions, and updates to the content by contributors to keep the website fresh and current without incurring new design costs.
• Creating and applying designs to the website independently from the creation of content.
• Having multiple authors contribute content to specific sections of the website, as assigned.
• Saving time and cost in both the initial construction of the website and in the ongoing expense of maintaining the website.
• Ability to add context to the main sections of a website, and allow faceted navigation, which will provide different ways of accessing the same content.
• Adding interactive features, such as indicating the current section of the website, while having the site exported as static HTML.
• Rule-based image placement (e.g. always in the top right of the page).
• Ability to style different areas of the website with different themes.
• Ability to manage images, audio, and movies.

Northern Village will convert your existing website to Raconteur quickly and easily, so you can edit your own website, including any galleries, photos, music and / or movies.

Northern Village has been providing advanced Raconteur services for over two years and can undertake challenging projects that fully utilize the advanced features of Raconteur, while keeping the content creation simple and effective in a steady interface.
