Overview
eQuercus Pro is subdivided into two subproducts: "eQuercus - Web content management" and "eQuercus - Library". The following drawing shows the operation of eQuercus Pro.

You can see from the drawing that all the parts of eQuercus Pro are installed in the Web Server, whereas on the remote computer only a browser is needed so it is not necessary to install any software. It is easy to install the product, just copy the files directly on your web site or virtual directory. Any ISP (Internet Service Provider), which offers an ASP service will be able to host your eQuercus managed site; in fact, the product is entirely written in script code.
"eQuercus - Web content management" The product, entirely composed of ASP pages, lets you manage all your site’s information, just using a browser: including the logical structure (navigation menu), different content types, and entry of this information in a database. The simple graphic interface of the product can be used to add entire sections with a few clicks with their respective contents, or even to simply add objects to various lists. All the pages are password protected and can only be accessed by enabled users. The product offers two access levels: 1. Administrator, which can manage both the structure and contents; 2. Editor, which can only manage contents.
"eQuercus - Library" eQuercus Library is a library of objects written in Jscript. The library functions will be inserted in your ASP pages, which will only contain the graphic elements common to all the pages, while the contents and navigation menu, recovered from the database using the library functions, will be dynamically added based on the request made. This system has the clear advantage of drastically decreasing the number of pages to create and manage; in fact only one page is needed for each layout type. For example, in order to represent a multilingual site composed of two different layouts (one normal and one for the lists), hundreds of contents and tens of sections, only two ASP pages need to be created. The position and the format of the navigation menu and contents will be set on the page. This means that the system is completely independent from the graphic of your site; at any time you can revolutionize the site graphic, without changing the data managed by eQuercus.
