A visual design system includes a dynamic layout editor, a page analyzer, a UI subsystem and a change executor. The dynamic layout editor edits content of a visual creation according to dynamic layout rules. The visual creation includes at least one page having at least two components, the dynamic layout rules are associated with anchors or constraints for positioning the components, and each component has geometrical properties. The page analyzer performs a geometrical analysis on the page in response to a change of components and divides the page into sections based on at least geometrical relationships between the geometrical properties. The UI subsystem generates and presents at least one section to a user for editing as a virtual container containing at least one of the two components. The change executor regenerates and displays the page with the section according to editing changes made during the editing session.

Method and system for section-based editing of a website page

A website building system (WBS) to create and handle dynamic layout interactions between multiple components on a page according to dynamic layout rules which define a relationship between affecting and affected components and where a component has at least one handle to enable a user of the WBS to at least move or resize a component within the dynamic layout rules, where the at least one handle activates or bypasses the dynamic layout rules for a component. The WBS creates at least automatic anchors between parallel edges of affecting and affected components according to the dynamic layout rules; receives an event triggered by at least a change made to at least one component and updates the at least one component according to the event, the at least one handle, handle type and the dynamic layout rules and displays the updated at least one component during an editing session.

System and method for extended dynamic layout

A system includes a unit for handling color assignment within a complex document and for maintaining a perceived brightness difference between elements on a discreet-pixel-depth-display. The unit includes a user interface to facilitate modification by a user of at least one first color to at least one second color within a previously chosen color scheme for a component of the document having principal colors and associated subordinate colors per principal color, a color handler to modify the chosen color scheme to produce an updated color scheme to match a perceived brightness of the at least one second color throughout at least a portion of the updated color scheme, a brightness handler to calculate the perceived brightness of said at least one second color and a subordinate color overrider configured to calculate an actual color to be assigned from the existing subordinate color and the new color requested by the user.

System for supporting flexible color assignment in complex documents

A website building system includes a content database storing a pool of content items to be displayed on a website being built; a view database storing a set of views which can be used to display the items, each view being a template for a section of a web page of the website; a view pool searcher to execute a search query on the view database for one or more views that match a given set of content items stored in the content database according to at least one of keywords, attributes, fields and applications of the given set and a dynamic matching and adaptation module to dynamically provide an appropriate view from among the views found by the view pool searcher for each set of content items for displaying the content items on the website, the appropriate view selected based on a priority value.

Device, system, and method of website building by utilizing data lists

A system and method for a visual design system includes a memory, a processor, a page analyzer to extract business information of at least one data structure of at least one page of a visual application having an existing layout, to perform a semantic analysis of the extracted business information and to use the extracted business information to produce a business information layout and an associated business information signature; a database to store at least one layout and at least one associated layout signature where the layout signature represents a business information composition of the at least one layout, a signature comparer to perform a comparison of the associated business information signature of the at least one data structure with the associated layout signature of the at least one layout stored in said layout database and where the processor and the memory embody the page analyzer and the signature comparer.

Visual design system for generating a visual data structure associated with a semantic composition based on a hierarchy of components

A website building system includes a database to store pages and components of a website, a component predefined as a master component associated with a master page or a regular component associated with regular page, a plurality of master and regular components have associated dynamic layout rules which define relationships between one website component and another website component, a component of the plurality of master and regular components has a handle set having at least one regular handle and at least one smart handle, a displayer to display a composite page having master components and regular components; an editor to enable a user to select components for editing and a dynamic layout editor to provide dynamic layout editing of the selected components with the handle set during an editing session; an updater to update and display the website according to the handle set, handle type and associated dynamic layout rules.

A system for handling color assignment within a complex document includes a user interface to facilitate user modification of at least one first color to at least one second color within a previously chosen color scheme for a component of the document, the color scheme having a principal colors and a of associated subordinate colors per principal color displayed as a matrix, a color handler to update the previously chosen color scheme color scheme to produce an updated color scheme matching a perceived brightness of the at least one second color, the color handler including a unifier to calculate an average perceived brightness for all cells in a row within the matrix and to change the lightness value for each cell while keeping the same hue and saturation to ensure that all cells within the row have the same perceived brightness, and a color processor to apply the updated color scheme.

A website editor includes a database to store pages and components, the components predefined as one of: master components associated with at least one master page and regular components associated with at least one regular page; a displayer to display a composite page including master components and regular components; an editor to enable a user to select either the master components or the regular components for editing thereby generating selected components and non-selected components and a layout manager to dynamically create at least automatic anchors between parallel edges of affecting and affected selected components according to associated dynamic layout rules, the rules defining relationships at least between content and a containing component, between a component and a peer component in a primary direction, between bottom edges of the affecting and the affected selected components, and between horizontal and vertical edges of the affecting and the affected selected components.

A website building system includes at least one database storing website components and their associated component hierarchies, each component comprising overridable parameterized-behavior elements, non-overridable parameterized-behavior elements and a data handler, the data handler handling override protocols for the components; and an element handler to review all components to be rendered for a current view and for a current component, to handle a communication request between the current component and at least one other component within the component hierarchy in order to implement an override request from the at least one other component, the element handler to update the current component only if the override request is related to an overridable parameterized-behavior element of the current component according to the data handler of the current component.

System and method for smart interaction between website components

System and method for generating a visual data structure associated with business information based on a hierarchy of components

A system implementable on a computing device for handling color assignment within a complex document includes a user interface to facilitate user modification of at least one first color to at least one second color within a previously chosen color scheme for a component of the document. The color scheme has a predetermined number X of principal colors and a predetermined number Y of associated subordinate colors per principal color. The system also includes a color handler to modify the color scheme to produce an updated color scheme to match a perceived brightness of the at least one second color throughout at least a portion of the updated color scheme and a color processor to process and apply the updated color scheme at least to the component.

A website building system includes a database, a displayer, an editor and a dynamic layout editor. The database stores pages and components of a website, where each component is either a master component associated with a master page or a regular component associated with a regular page. The master and regular components have associated dynamic layout rules which define the relationships between one website component and at least one other website component. Each component has at least a regular handle and a smart handle. The displayer displays a composite page of master and regular components. The editor enables a user to choose to edit the master components or the regular components. The dynamic layout editor provides a handle set where some smart handles can change the boundary between the selected components and the non-selected components.
