What is ecoWeb?

deskspace Content Management System creates fast responsive web sites from a single page of Markdown content for every web page.

The ecoWeb flavour of Markdown is just like normal text except you prefix each paragraph with between 1 and 6 # characters. This tells ecoWeb what format, type, colors etc to use for each paragraph.

You can add other things to your page

You can add ecoWeb tags in the Markdown to display images, web links, videos etc in your page. See the example of a web link for markdown above.

ecoWeb has many tools that make the addition of other things easy.

Once you understand the syntax you can write the tags yourself, maybe copy and alter an existing one, if you wish.

Select a theme

Try different themes from the pop up menu above.

You can change the content of the page by editing the Markdown text on the second Tab.

Editing themes

You can change the appearance of a ecoWeb web page as you wish as you can edit all the CSS properties that control appearance using the various ecoWeb design tools.

The ecoWeb user interface has several different levels so that you can start off simple and then display and use more tools when you wish to do so.

Cross platform

This version of ecoWeb has been tested and refined on Mac OS and will also run on iOS and Windows. Later versions will contain refinements for those types of device.

It can also be hosted by FileMaker Server to enable access with a web browser but that functionality has not been tested in this version. If you wish to try it out we would be pleased to receive your feedback.
