You mark up areas in your pages using CSS classes, and then log into PageLime. We connect to your site, figure out what parts are editable based on the CSS classes, and let you edit your pages. Once you're done with your edits, PageLime publishes the changes to your site using FTP (or one of our other publishing methods).
You sign up and provide us with all the relevant info.
You, or your clients, log into the PageLime web-app, make changes to your website.
You're done.
Your sensitive data is encrypted using a secret key. We only decrypt and use your data when you ask us to.
Either let us publish to your site using FTP, or pull the information from our web services using the developer API.
Our CMS is not tightly coupled to your site or markup in any way. No database and no code - we publish just clean content.
PageLime is integrated with no changes to your source code, and it works with any website platform (PHP, ASP.NET...).
Your site will never go down because PageLime is down, and vice-versa.
Because we store your updates in a linear fashion, you can broadcast your content from our servers as RSS!
