Our Clients
Flyspeck is working for sites worldwide! It appeals to anyone who has text that needs updating by non-technical
clients. Consultants love the unlimited license , where they can install it as many times as
they like for their clients. Many small web-design professionals who build custom sites for people don't want the
everyday updates as a part of their business.

How did it start?
Flyspeck started out the way most great things start, necessity. After the frustration of buying, configuring, and
seeing the mess that products like Microsoft Frontpage and Macromedia Contribute bring, the need was clear. It had to be
small - it had to be browser-based, and most importantly, cheap and easy to use. With Flyspeck there is no training
needed, because it is focused, streamlined, and does one thing really well: allowing your clients to update their news,
specials, or any other content without any installed software.
How does it work?
Flyspeck uses PHP on the server side, a free and open source scripting language that runs on either unix or windows
web servers. The client needs a DOM Compliant browser, like IE, Mozilla, FireFox, can be on Mac too. All you need
to do is FTP the installation directory to your web server, and put in the Begin and End Edit tags around the regions you want people to be able to edit. Then, a "Trigger" line of javascript
needs to be put in each page so that people can enter edit mode. Only one config.php
file contains all of the necessary configuration options. It works by using a pattern matching function to slurp
just the chosen editable portion and loads that into the editor. After pressing save, the altered HTML is put back into
the file . The user can't break your layout tables or edit things that you don't allow.
