As a visual web designer I enjoy every aspect of designing and creating web pages. Realizing my original comps to actual HTML pages is surely a pleasure. It's a delight to polish, fine-tune and re-align (until exhaustion) my already great-looking web pages (you know it – CSS tweaks, typography, background textures, etc.). As a matter of fact, at this stage the web pages are even better now than the graphic comps where I started before! A tragic story unfolds – a merry beginning only to finish with an awful ending .

As a matter of fact, at this stage the web pages are even better now than the graphic comps where I started before! A tragic story unfolds – a merry beginning only to finish with an awful ending .
The nightmare kicks in. I dread the thought that I have to rip apart my perfect web pages just to fit in to a CMS. It's distressing but it has to be done and you know it. The project has to be delivered on specifications, after all I am paid based on that. As anticipated, a disturbing sight (not shocking though) – CMS Induced Design Mutation. Well at least, you have archived copies of the static web pages to cherish and use for your portfolio.
Today, I am so pleased to tell you about Webpop – a happy story for web designers.
Webpop lets you transform your static webpages to content-dynamic pages in the most painless way possible. What we mean by 'painless' is that you will not deal with any enigmatic PHP codes neither have to see a mutant version of your design child ever again. Webpop works to fit in to your work.
Webpop's approach is straight-forward (not to mention "humanity-friendly").
- Use your very own hand-crafted HTML and CSS.
- Design content as you like it (a visual Form Builder helps you define all the fields you need).
- Place some fantastic Webpop Content Tags (no guesswork here because the Tag Explorer discovers and serves only stuff you created earlier in the Form Builder.)
- Put in some content using the form, publish and preview it.
