A method for proofing a prototype dynamic webpage version referencing first configuration data is disclosed. The prototype dynamic webpage can be derived from a live version referencing second configuration data and accessible via a live link. The method includes storing first configuration data in a configuration database also containing second configuration data, providing a prototype link to the prototype dynamic webpage version dissimilar from the live link; and returning, upon a prototype link request, the prototype dynamic webpage version, involving rendering the prototype dynamic webpage version based on the first configuration data without altering the live dynamic webpage version. Also disclosed is a dynamic webpage versioning system working off a configuration database and distinct versions of configuration data.

Staged publication and management of dynamic webpages

A visual WYSIWYG method of editing a web site in a remote user's client web browser without employing any external code on the user's computer, including designating an editable feature in a web page and responding to a request from the user's web browser to edit the web page. The response includes downloading the requested web page in an editable form which allows the user to edit the web page in the browser. The web browser then submits an identifier of the web site, a version of the web site, an identifier of the web page edited, an identifier of an editable feature, and indicia of a new selection for the identified editable feature. The web site stored on the server is then updated to incorporate the new selection for the editable feature. The revised web page is then downloaded to the user's web browser.

Remote web site editing in a web browser without external client software

A dynamic webpage processing method, including identifying a static component within a dynamic webpage, the static component comprising computer code defining at least a portion of a target webpage and configurable via first configuration data, rendering the static component as a static markup language equivalent, and returning the target webpage upon request through rendering a dynamic component within the dynamic webpage based on second configuration data is disclosed. Thus, static component(s) can be pre-rendered, leaving only the dynamic component(s) of the dynamic webpage for on-the-fly rendering when a target webpage request is made. This can greatly reduce dynamic webpage processing requirements, particularly in situations where the webpage configuration changes or evolves slowly.

Method and apparatus for processing a dynamic webpage

A dynamic web-based application for WYSIWYG editing of a web page generates editor functionality embedded into the web page using standard markup language so that a remote user with permission can edit the web page in a standard web browser without installing any external software. The resulting 'editable web page' includes at least one editable content cell, such as a text cell or graphic cell, identified by an editing icon and interactive editing behavior.
