PocketSite v2.6.3 is Available for Download

After much delay PocketSite is now ready for release. The rationale behind this project is simple. I needed a simple web app that could generate a website without the use of a complex MySQL driven CMS, which some of my clients cannot afford and this was the solution. With PocketSite it's easy to turn any ThemeForest template into a PocketSite theme within minutes.


Whats good about PocketSite is that it's:

• Light weight (generates content from .txt files)
• Doesn't use a MySQL (to create dymanic content)
  
• Easy to theme

From BluPrint to PocketSite

I've been working on a project - BluPrint for a while now. However, on completion of the 1st build I've dubbed the app PocketSite.

PocketSite was designed to help me quickly implement a website using .txt files with HTML code and a simple php templates. Eliminating the need for me to use a complex cms.

I've been working on the default template and have decided to give you a sneak peak of what PocketSite will look like.

There is a lot more to come ;) ... Best Believe that!

BluPrint - A Dynamic Text Based Website

I've been having discussions with my father-in-law, an entrepreneur, who is challenging me to make my workflow easier. I've also read articles on Freelance Switch & Smashing Magazine that have challenged me in the same regard.

Now I use Coda when writing scripts for my projects and I've added clips; snippets of code I use on a regular basis. Most of my projects are Joomla based but not all my clients can afford such an elaborate system, so I sometimes have to do static websites (using php includes to make the template issue less of a hassle). I don't always like that approach so I came up with a solution, BluPrint.

BluPrint (the code name of the project) is a simple dynamic text based website that doesn't use a MySQL but text files to store the page content. The structure of BluPrint will be designed in such a way that it's easily customizable by using templates and supports 3 column designs with room for addons, in later versions to come. In essence it will act like a CMS allowing you to make easy updates by just editing or adding a text file.

That's all I can say for now about BluPrint but you can follow me on Twitter to get the latest updates and progress reports on the project.
