Web Content Managment

A growing number of departments at the University now use HyperContent to manage their web presence:

HyperContent is an open-source web CMS being developed by institutions of higher education under the sponsorship of the Java Architectures Special Interest Group (JA-SIG). HyperContent delivers a rich set of management and authoring tools which enable content experts, designers, developers and administrators to collaborate effectively in the production of high quality web sites with consistent navigation and design. XML storage makes data reuse and site evolution possible, and a pure Java architecture delivers a stable, scalable platform.

HyperContent separates design from content allowing the website to be updated by someone with minimal IT experience and without the use of expensive third party software.

HyperContent is managed and supported by eServices Integration. For further information about Hypercontent, or to discover how to use it to support your web site, please contact port.hull@hull.ac.uk
