[Pro] [ANN] Inlay CMS is ready for the world

Hi Waltd,

I mailed you my problem (twice) directly per mail, I didn’t used the contact form. Didn’t you received it (including e server copy)?

As soon as I did the Inlay installation, the CMS works! but my .index page becomes unreachable. When delete the inlay files everything is normal again!

I’m not able to access my inlay mail account from here, I will look at it in a few hours and get back to you from there. But for now, can you please try downloading the client software again (depending on when you downloaded it, I may have updated it to work around the issue you are seeing).

I’ve found and fixed a nasty bug in the Inlay Web application (the site that administers your site). At the last minute before launch, I made a significant change and did not have adequate test coverage for that change. As a result, everything appeared to work fine for me when I tested against existing sites (the Inlay documentation all runs in Inlay, naturally) but failed horribly when trying to create a new site. This issue has been fixed, and the “on-board” experience is once again working as expected.

If you’ve been holding off on creating a new Inlay site, then good news — you dodged a bullet there. And you should get right on that. I would love to see some more feedback from actual (as opposed to beta) users.

Thanks,

Walter

Hi Walt,

Thank you for all your hard work and knowledge that went into developing Inlay. I look forward to trying it and hopefully using it for clients.

Just 2 things: Do you have plans to create a demo and/or a trial version? I would want to understand how to use it and be sure it’s the right fit prior to being on a deadline, particularly because it’s a subscription service.

Thank you.

I do want to make a video demo, so you can see how easy it is to apply to an existing site. But until I get that together, I would urge you to just spring for it ($5 is less than a fancy coffee) for a month and see what you can make with it. Take an existing site of yours, apply the Action to one or more elements on a page, and upload to your server. It won’t matter at all to regular visitors to your site. The Action just adds some marker code to those elements, and leaves the HTML entirely alone. In your Inlay account, enter the site address and name, and download the client software (customized to your URL, so it’s unique to each site) and upload it to your server with an FTP application. Rename the htaccess file, and return to the Inlay site to load the templates. That’s it. If all has gone well, you won’t see any change at all in your site. Except now you can edit that page (or make as many duplicates of it — with different content — as you like).

Walt,

Does this mean that I could use Inlay as a CMS e-commerce solution?

More and more, clients want the ability to add/remove their own products: photos/descriptions/pricing, etc. As well as the ability to place items on backorder, etc.

In the past, I have used Mal’s for this, but then it is all dependent on me to update the site. These days, I’m finding clients are itching to do this work themselves to save money.

I’ve used Pulse and that works great for blogging sites, but I’m specifically looking for a Freeway friendly, client updatable e-commerce solution. Ideas?

Right now, this would be an excellent system for a static site that had frequent changes to existing pages, or for a product site where you are adding and removing products

You would need to have an e-commerce solution that you could integrate simply. There’s nothing directly in Inlay that would manage that part of the deal. So if you had a commerce solution that used a URL or a blob of code (like the PayPal button does) then you could use that with Inlay very easily. Make a separate HTML box for the button, apply the Inlay Action to it, and set it to Raw Markup. In the Inlay control panel, you would just see a text box where you could paste in the code. The empty box in your layout would be replaced with the button. On another page, you would paste in the code for the next button.
