Welcome.
Lotus and IBM® Redbooks® have partnered together to show you how Riverbend used Lotus Web Content Management to build their Web site. See how they developed the architecture, deployed the system, designed the site, and went live with dynamic content.
This section includes the following additional topics:
IBM® Lotus™ Web Content Management provides a sophisticated Web content management tool and platform that is designed to accelerate the delivery and management of critical business information. It enables a collaborative approach to content creation for individuals and teams. It allows for approval of processes, management, and assets. Lotus Web Content Management is an extremely powerful and sophisticated tool that is remarkably easy to use.
This wiki addresses specific technical aspects of the Lotus Web Content Management product, by discussing its underlying architecture, features, and capability. This wiki focuses specifically on Lotus Web Content Management v 6.1, but much of what is discussed here applies to earlier versions of the product as well.
To support users in the initial stages of learning about the product, this wiki explains how to build a sample site from the initial concepts to asset creation and final delivery. To illustrate the steps in building the site, we build the sample site for the fictitious company,
River Bend Tea and Coffee Company. The wiki then expands upon this experience and explores additional and more sophisticated areas of the product, including where there are opportunities for customization. In addition to discussing specific technical features, this wiki discusses the key concepts and best practices for creating an accurate information architecture and site framework.
