The Kachunker is our very own, homegrown Content Management System (CMS) that outputs simple static HTML. Kachunker-created HTML can be deployed automatically to any web server in the world. It combines the flexibility and ease of a CMS with the portability and bullet-proof stability of a static site.
The main features of the Kachunker include:
- Complete separation of content and layout
- Complete customization of information display via an advanced templating system.
- Automated, database-driven production of flat HTML pages
The Kachunker reduces the need to manually build and deploy pages, which allows us to build complex, accurate sites in short time frames. For example, the PBS Kids site DragonflyTV automatically generates thousands of internal links without error. Without such automation, updating or altering massive amounts of content would be extremely time-consuming, expensive and error-prone. With the Kachunker, however, large-scale changes are simple and painless at any point during or after the production process.
