OpenPad is browser-based software to help you design, build and update your website. It combines the features of Web design tools with the benefits and ease of Content Management System software, and is available as a monthly subscription service.

OpenPad was created to provide designers with the control they need to create compelling Web content. And, thanks to its friendly drag and drop editing tools, updating content is easy, even for someone without design or programming skills. It is ideal for sites that want to move beyond template-based design tools.

Typically, people who need to develop and manage a site of any sophistication use a suite of products for design and development, or they hand-code pages and use custom (and expensive) Content Management Systems. OpenPad combines the features of professional Web development tools and site maintenance software, with a convenient and cost-effective pricing system.

OpenPad is at the head of a change that is spreading throughout the software business. It is a Web 2.0 application that performs like desktop software, but lives exclusively within a Web browser. This allows the user to access and edit files from any Internet-ready computer, at any time.

This service was developed with Media Farm ( www.mediafarm.com), a New York based Web development firm. Media Farm has developed customized websites and Content Management Systems, digital archives, and ecommerce systems since 1994, and its partners have employed their own Web design and development expertise to the creation of OpenPad.
