What is WYSIWYG?
What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) is an important fundament for your employees to do fast and cost efficient web content management (WCM). The idea behind the WYSIWYG concept is that web pages, in the editor in which they are created, look identical to the pages as they are seen by the visitors of your web pages.
What is WYSIWYG according to the current generation of WCM products?
Lots of WCM products prentend to use WYSIWYG in their content creation process. This however is only partly true. The current generation of WCM tools supports only a restricted variant of WYSIWYG. The web editor in which you are working mostly only offers an overview of the current text paragraph/block you are editing but lacks to show the whole page context in which this paragraph or block is placed. The table below shows an overview of what we mean with this.
What is WYSIWYG according to Shazzoo?
Shazzoo offers what we call 100% WYSIWYG. Shazzoo is unique because it shows the full context of a page when editing content in the web editor. Because we are displaying the graphic layout, navigaton and other layout parts, you directy see how context is placed in your page.
