Founded by serial entrepreneurs Nishant Patel, Neha Sampat and Matthew Baier, software vendor Built.io introduced its iPaaS offering, Built.io Flow™ in 2015. It has subsequently been named a Challenger in Gartner’s 2018 “Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Integration Platform as a Service” and was named a Cool Vendor in the report “Cool Vendors in Pervasive Integration, 2016.”<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180928005064/en/Software-AG-Acquires-Built.io-Accelerate-Leadership-Hybrid#"></a>
Built.io’s Flow and Embed products will come together as a single integrated offering with Software AG’s globally recognized webMethods Integration Platform.
Customers will benefit from easy-to-use and robust integration solutions leading to significantly accelerated time-to-value, critical to the success of IoT and digital transformation solutions.

Adobe to Acquire Marketo

<a name="_GoBack"></a> The world of social media marketing is a fast-paced one. Trends come and go, and if you want to stay on top of your game you need to apply strategies that are up-to-the-minute. Here are six of those marketing trends that really make a significant impact – penetration-wise – this 2018. We still have one quarter to go this year, and that’s still plenty of time for you to implement these marketing trends and tactics to create better brand impact!
<ol>
<li>Video content is king. There’s never been a more effective time to utilize video as one of your premiere marketing tools – especially since businesses and brands that utilized it are up 63% from the previous year. And with over 1.5 billion users logged in to YouTube every month, social networking sites have launched all sorts of new features that will encourage the use and creation of video content. You have Live Videos, 360-videos, instant stories, etc. Apart from being an enjoyable aspect of consuming social media content, these videos are also high on value. Ad recall is achievable within your video’s first 10 seconds. Video pros suggest creating animated videos as these are more popular than mere explainer videos.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Mobile solutions count. Smartphone users now number 2.53 billion as of 2018. According to Facebook data, their number of monthly active users on the mobile platform is nearing 2 billion. It’s safe to say that mobile traffic now surpasses desktop, which is why it’s important to tap into the consciousness of these digital natives through prioritizing mobile. In particular, you can study how you can better take advantage of the call-to-action button on social network mobile apps. These are more able to generate better conversions than their web platform counterpart. Thus, your marketing strategies should be tailor-fit to attract all of these mobile users.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Chatbots are crucial for CRM success. Customer Relation Management, or CRM, is an essential element of business success. This is especially true when addressing the social media aspect of your business. On this platform, Chatbots have proven itself to be very capable in creating real-time engagement to address your customers’ needs. Social media sites have already announced chatbot functions on their platform, so its effectiveness has already been measured and deemed worthy of use. With a Chatbot deployed to deal with your customers’ first line or level of concerns, you have something that works 24/7 without using real-time human effort for customer service. It’s also a cost-effective way to manage some aspects of your marketing strategy. Since chatbots seem to be in its infancy stage, you can surely expect more out of it in the coming years with improvements in AI research.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Investing in influencer marketing. Influencers have varied backgrounds – celebrities, fashionistas, savvy moms, articulate and engaging children and everyone in between. What they have in common is their amazing ability to convince people to try a particular product or service. Thus, investing in influencer marketing should definitely be something you should consider to generate significant returns out of your social media marketing efforts. The key is in finding that perfect influencer that hits the target for your niche. The choice isn’t based on popularity alone. Rather, you want someone who has a wide reach and has developed his/her audience’s trust when it comes to things that he/she patronizes. Social media influencers might seem like a steep investment, but the dividends will pay off in the long run. Brands that count on influencers to get the word across enjoy up to 10x more in their conversion rates – a number that’s pretty hard to beat, strategy-wise.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Paid content that’s also personalized. Paid content such as sponsored ads is a worthy investment if you want your business to have a wider reach on social media. It’s a good way to be better noticed on social media, especially since there are a million other businesses that create a lot of noise on the same platform. However, it is important to factor in personalization to your paid content. People are generally resistant to random ads on social media, and platforms have responded with new algorithms that match ads to the users who are more likely to appreciate seeing it on their feed. This goes for Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. With this in place, your task is to personalize your content in such a way that your audience immediately sees its relevance in their lives. Social media platforms are already doing you a favor with these new algorithms that bring your target market closer to you, so you’d best focus on crafting your content to capture their attention and create conversions as a result. As a tip, you can also apply the use of analytics to truly understand your data and therefore find out how you can better apply what you know to reach your target users.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Automation = real and lasting solutions. With so many competitors all vying for the attention of users numbering in the billions, working smarter is more effective compared to working harder. In this line, automation presents itself as strategy that does away with manual effort so you can spend more time concentrating on other more important aspects of your business as a digital marketer. The good thing about automation being so prevalent these days is the cost has gone down significantly. Having said that, you really have no excuse to avail of it for better success in social media marketing.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Variety Wins in Social Media Marketing</h2>
With all these new trends coming out, it is safe to say that a general rule to follow when drafting a solid social media marketing strategy is to have a focus on variety. Nowadays, it is never enough to focus all of your efforts on just one strategy. The gains you can generate by casting a much wider net is hard to ignore, especially in a digital platform wherein all the tools are right there in front of you for you to take advantage of. At the same time, it pays to remember that while everything is about technology these days, the heart of your marketing strategy should be the people you want to reach. Trends come and go, but the people – your target market – will constantly remain the same for the most part.

6 Social Media Marketing Trends You Need Implement, Stat

BloomReach, Inc., the Digital Experience Platform company, has now begun arming enterprises with a superior weapon in their battle against the Amazons of the e-commerce world. Today at the DMEXCO trade show in Cologne, BloomReach launched their DXP for Commerce that gives retailers, brands, distributors and manufacturers the ability to quickly offer a highly relevant and personalized digital experience. They can enhance their commerce environment with AI-powered search, intelligent merchandising, and highly agile content management. The DXP for Commerce keeps customers engaged, increases revenue per visit, and drives customer loyalty. It also integrates with leading commerce platforms to form a complete e-commerce solution.
“These are scary times for both B2B and B2C enterprises,” said Raj De Datta, co founder and CEO of BloomReach. “Amazon, Alibaba and other disruptors pose an existential threat to their business. Historically, executives have looked to a commerce-led architecture to compete. These architectures, however, don’t provide the velocity needed to beat the Amazons of the world. The answer is a move from monolithic e-commerce platforms to microservices-based architectures that empower not just the web, but all digital touchpoints. This provides a twofold benefit: more control over the customer experience, now highly personalized, and the ability to innovate quickly. Our new DXP for Commerce is designed to offer all this and more as well as on top of existing platforms and integrating with legacy systems.”
“Traditional commerce platforms don’t handle content management well, nor do they meet 2018 expectations for site search and digital merchandising,” said Patrick Finn, Head of Global Channels at BloomReach. “Surmounting these challenges requires an experience-led platform with the trifecta of a super CMS, AI-driven search, and an open architecture to build quickly and get to business outcomes. At BloomReach, we’re delivering that with DXP for Commerce and bringing it to market with a world-class set of partners.”
“We are seeing major demand for a new approach to commerce-enabled digital experiences globally across industries,” said Dirk Hoerig, founder and CEO of commercetools, a leading cloud-based commerce platform provider. “Brands want to experiment with new channels and business models, but all-in-one content and commerce platforms stifle agility and innovation. Our headless, API-based approach makes it easy for brands to create powerful digital experiences that can also deliver optimum shopping experiences with platforms like BloomReach’s DXP for Commerce.”
Besides commercetools, who are exhibiting alongside BloomReach at the DMEXCO trade show in Cologne, the DXP for Commerce integrates with commerce platforms from Elastic Path, SAP Commerce Cloud, Skava, Symphony and others.
BloomReach has lined up a global ecosystem of first class digital agency and system integration partners to help businesses implement the integrated offering. These include Accenture Interactive, Authentic, Avionos, Dept, diva-e, Gorilla, Incentro, Object Edge, Osudio, SapientRazorfish, Shift7 Digital, Valtech, XumaK, and Zaelab.
“Delivering engaging digital experiences is essential”, said Brian Grady, CEO of Gorilla. “The Bloomreach DXP for Commerce enables us to create differentiated solutions for our clients that can be fully integrated with the leading digital commerce platforms.”
Victor Terpstra, CCO at Osudio: ”BloomReach DXP for Commerce adds true value to existing commerce solutions: by applying AI in on-site search and online merchandising tools, online retailers can create a significant revenue uplift whereas brands can add stories to their products by combining BloomReach CMS capabilities with existing commerce implementations.”
<h2>About BloomReach</h2>

<a href="https://www.superdesk.org/" target="_blank">The Superdesk website</a> says that the company is “more interested in saving journalists from being used as robots than we are in the fantasy of robots becoming journalists.” That’s a bold goal given the demands placed on journalists, news agencies and media organizations in the current environment.
But Sourcefabric, the team behind Superdesk, are very close to making this happen with their headless CMS and news management system that purports to be a creation, production, curation, distribution and publishing platform built for journalists by journalists.
Will they make it? Read on to find out.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/superdesk-1_jprw1j.png" alt="Superdesk Review" />
<h2>Key Features</h2>
<h3>The Personal Tab</h3>
Confidentiality and private space management are essential for journalists. With a modular system like this, Superdesk knew that they had to provide this functionality to users and it’s the first thing that stood out to me.
The Personal Tab on the homepage allows journalists to store private audio, image, video, composites and text files, that are kept completely separate from any search function and the other “desks”. This desk element of Superdesk’s CMS is a key part of the product.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/screen-shot-2018-08-31-at-100114_i9gufz.png" alt="Superdesk Review - 2" />
In a physical news organisation, journalists and other content creators work in specific areas of the newsroom. Sourcefabric have tried to recreate this collaborative nexus in a digital environment with the “desks” function, which allows for easy jumping between a sports desk, a politics desk, a features desk, etc.
If a story intersects between sports and politics, different news writers can collaborate in the same newsroom, regardless of their physical location; whether they’re in just across the hall or an ocean away. Using these desks, journalists can manage and control their work practice according to the needs of the story.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/screen-shot-2018-08-31-at-100427_ytjr4f.png" alt="Superdesk Review - 3" />
<h3>Superdesk Search</h3>
An editor can also use the Superdesk Search function to capture a wide range of stories with a detailed, exhaustive query system that allows you to narrow in on as many specific stories as you need. Using this function, users can then reuse these stories. Essentially users can search stories and then repurpose them in production
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/screen-shot-2018-08-31-at-112031_dwmiz6.png" alt="superdesk review 10" />
 
You can filter the search terms under a number of different criteria and clicking on each result brings up a well laid out tab with the full story easily visible.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/screen-shot-2018-08-31-at-112312_mftvy8.png" alt="superdesk review 6" />
<h3>Dashboard</h3>
The first page you’re greeted with is the Workspace page, which is the area from which all other parts of the site are accessed. The design immediately strikes you as being clean, fuss-free, and easy on the eye for the most part – albeit a little monotone at times.
From this page, you can easily click into most of what you need – even if the Publishing and Setting pages are hidden behind a blind tab. Once you get to grips with the system, the home page becomes a nexus of information. You can access other workspaces, track stories and easily access your personal tabs, but getting to grips with that system is the thing. It’s easy to use once you know how, but getting to that point is the issue.
In my opinion, the Dashboard area of the platform could be improved with some tips for using the various tools or even just a visible help section to ease the user into the system. The detail of the Superdesk system means that busy journalists will need a little hand-holding initially, especially because the page is so cleanly laid out. Once you know what the Personal Tab does and how the Monitoring system works it’ll become second nature, but getting to that stage without a walkthrough takes a bit of time.
<h3>Monitoring</h3>
The Monitoring tab is where Superdesk really flexes its muscles from a journalist workspace perspective.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/screen-shot-2018-08-31-at-103832_ka4w19.png" alt="superdesk review 7" />
In this tab, you can track stories and topics, and edit stories and other assignments right next to the items that you’re tracking. You can write copy, assign urgency, and add other important metadata right next to the content as it tracks.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/screen-shot-2018-08-31-at-104141_qjcfbg.png" alt="superdesk review 8" />
<h3>Automated News</h3>
In addition, there is a type of Newsroom Automation that allows journalists to create templates to speed up reports or stories that have similar content week to week, which is a great idea in practice but I found it a bit difficult to work out. The learning curve on the CMS seems to be a little steep and that might make initial uptake quite time-consuming, especially when it comes to creating content on the platform.
<h3>User Interface</h3>
My one criticism of the Superdesk interface is the colour scheme of the Dashboard area and the effect this has on user experience. With the current colour scheme, it’s difficult to determine one area of the page from the other. While everything is perfectly clean, precise, and excellently put together from a layout perspective, the default colour scheme is a little off-putting when engaging on a certain desk or story.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/screen-shot-2018-08-31-at-100527_bpizae.png" alt="Superdesk Review - 4" />
That colour issue becomes especially prominent in the Monitoring part of the Dashboard, which makes it difficult to keep track of what stories you have and have not interacted with. As I stated earlier, the lack of support available was also an issue for me and this impaired my use of certain sections, such as Monitoring and Content Production.
This issue is all the more confusing given that Superdesk do know how to use colour to distinguish text and freshen up the visuals of a page. Superdesk’s Copy Editing System is based on just that concept and is absolutely fantastic for journalists in that it addresses a common problem: proofreading and word blindness. In the screenshot below, you’ll see that after creating a document, I was able to copy edit and proofread the text by changing the colour scheme.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/screen-shot-2018-08-31-at-101736_yrcfro.png" alt="superdesk review - 11" />
That micro-change and the new colour made the text seem like a different set of words compared to what I had written just minutes prior, which made error spotting much easier.
Overall, the User Interface is very clean, very fast and is intuitively laid out once you get to grips with the general concepts.
<h3>Pricing</h3>
Right now, it’s hard to find what the starting price for Superdesk actually is. Their website writes that it is “developed with new agencies and independent contributors as an open-source newsroom CMS”. And while they state that there is no license fee or a vendor tie-in, it isn’t 100% clear.
I reached out to SourceFabric and found out that there are in fact 3 pricing options for using Superdesk. As it is open source, users with technical know-how can download it for themselves for free. The second option, for smaller operations, is the pro package, and for larger scale organisations Superdesk offers an enterprise package. To find out more about these packages and request a demo, those interested can click <a href="https://www.superdesk.org/products">here</a>. 
<h3>Design</h3>
Once you navigate to the Templates section, the clean design allows you to progress through the stages of creation quite well without tripping you up in relentless click back error loops, which I liked. The presentation of the platform is ultra clean, smooth and performed very well on all the contemporary browsers I tried it on.
I really appreciated the integration with WordPress and their own API-based Superdesk Publisher, which fits into any newsroom software. Superdesk Publisher also has a number of excellent themes that can be easily edited and put together by editorial staff with no need for coding or back-end developers. You can add as many channels as you want, and even publish directly to RSS feeds.
Superdesk has plugin integration for other publishing sites – as you might expect for a platform of this nature – but they also have output settings of their own, which are sleek, easily customisable and are comparable with other bespoke news templates.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/screen-shot-2018-08-31-at-102829_xiaynv.png" alt="superdesk review - 12" />
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/screen-shot-2018-08-31-at-102614_j1zeyr.png" alt="superdesk review - 13" />
The way they’ve integrated video and imagery into the input system and made it easy to export to publishing is particularly useful, especially for journalists and editors who may be under time pressure. I found it quick and seamless with zero lag.
The main page can be further customised by editing widgets. Although this is slightly more complex than editing text, it isn’t too hard to grasp. This element really shows the potential of Superdesk as a publishing platform.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/screen-shot-2018-08-31-at-103440_rf5zvm.png" alt="superdesk review -14" />
<h2>Help and Support</h2>
Superdesk might not have many help options in the workspace but they certainly do aim to make their platform as easy to use as possible, with various training options and videocasts to help upskill users to the site's systems.
At the moment though, their help and support sections seem to be a reference to their user manual and user forums, which isn’t very personable and may seem like too much effort to users. However, it’s worth mentioning that they do offer personal support to commercial clients under a Service-Level-Agreement (SLA).
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/screen-shot-2018-08-31-at-111531_bybxsv.png" alt="superdesk review 15" />
A system as complex and powerful as Superdesk will need a more comprehensive help section to bring along potential users who might be intimidated by its scale.
<h2>Pros</h2>
<ul>
<li>Extremely flexible and powerful layout.</li>
<li>A detailed and extensive search and capture feature for news stories.</li>
<li>Very end-user focused with features and widgets such as colour optimized spell checking, world clock widgets.</li>
<li>Perfectly suited for journalist and newsroom specific collaboration</li>
<li>Multiple language options</li>
</ul>
<h2>Cons</h2>
<ul>
<li>There is a very steep learning curve that may throw off busy editors and journalists from investing time in fully utilizing the systems.</li>
<li>A lack of tool tips or an easily accessible help section adds to this learning curve.</li>
<li>The design is a little monotone, which can hurt readability at times.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Overall</h2>
Once you get past the initial complexity of Superdesks’ setup, you’ll find an incredibly powerful Content Management System and creation tool that really does live up to the idea of being created for journalists by journalists. Little touches like the ability to attach a physical paper trail of attachments to stories in production, publish in multiple languages, and even a projected read time feature on created text show that they’ve spent a lot of time thinking about everything a journalist and newsroom might want.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/screen-shot-2018-08-31-at-100811_ng8pat.png" alt="superdesk review 16" />
That blend between journalist and publisher is what makes this such a powerful system. After you’ve progressed through the initial learning curve – which is an unavoidable result of the complexity and power of the system – you have a site that can stitch together content production on a massive scale but is also specific enough to serve a local newspaper.
Its clean design might be a little too stark at times but it makes for a pleasant working environment that is flexible and powerful in equal measure. <a href="https://www.superdesk.org/" target="_blank">Superdesk</a> has the potential to be the next big thing in media content management circles.

Choosing the right e-commerce platform is essential for your business. In order to thrive online, your business will need an exceptional website, one that seamlessly melds the digital and physical shopping experiences.
Magento and Shopify are two of the most <a href="https://www.inc.com/bill-carmody/top-seven-ecommerce-platforms-in-2018.html">popular e-commerce platforms</a>. Both are great choices for businesses of all sizes. However, it’s good to take an in-depth look at both to see which platform is the best fit for you.
<h2>Magento: an in-depth look</h2>
Magento is a popular <a href="https://www.cminds.com/the-ultimate-beginners-guide-to-magento/">open-source e-commerce platform</a>. It’s used by small business and large brands alike as it’s easy to customize and scale for both B2B and B2C businesses.
Some key features of Magento:
<ul>
<li>Ability to create and deploy custom e-shops</li>
<li>Massive marketplace stocked with website themes and useful applications</li>
<li>Search engine optimization</li>
<li>An easy-to-integrate shopping cart system</li>
<li>Intuitive inventory system</li>
<li>Multi-store support</li>
<li>Integration of software tools such as a CRM, an ERP, etc</li>
</ul>
Magento is one of the fastest growing cloud-based e-commerce platforms as well, in part because of its customer support, user-friendliness, and flexible shopping cart system. Magento comes with some essential digital marketing features including search engine optimization and customizable user interface design.
The enterprise e-shopping platform is used by over <a href="https://www.thepixel.com/magento-ecommerce/">200,000 online stores</a>. Magento continues to garner more stores as its services and marketing campaigns expand. Its massive community, replete with application designers, theme makers, and Magento experts, attract e-commerce newcomers.
Magento was recently acquired by Adobe, the American software giant, for <a href="https://news.adobe.com/press-release/corporate/adobe-acquire-magento-commerce">$1.68 billion</a>. Adobe has a rather large developer base, active creative community, and a strong cloud infrastructure. Adobe’s resources will undoubtedly shape Magento. At present, it’s unclear how the partnership between the two companies will change e-commerce as a whole. All we know now is that Magento is bound to benefit.
As attractive as Magento sounds, it’s important to note an important technical detail. Magento is self-hosted so you’ll need to have a bit of web development skill in order to get your e-shop up and running. In fact, you may even need the assistance of a <a href="https://www.developersforhire.com/magento">Magento developer</a>.
It’s also important to note, however, that Magento is open-source (and therefore free to use). You’ll have to pay for hosting, apps, and premium themes, but the use of the platform itself is completely free.
<h2>Shopify: an in-depth look</h2>
Shopify is a Canadian e-shopping platform that allows for multiple sales channels, unlimited inventory, and single-step order fulfillment.
Shopify is an increasingly popular e-commerce platform and a major contender to Magento. According to Shopify, over <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2017/08/01/shopify-beats-on-big-revenue-jump-as-it-crosses-500k-merchants/">500,000 merchants</a> are using Shopify in some way, shape, or form and over $65 billion worth of goods have been sold through the platform.
Shopify allows shop owners to:
<ul>
<li>Set up an online store with a custom domain</li>
<li>Customize your online storefront with pre-made, tweakable themes</li>
<li>Accept credit card transactions</li>
<li>Add social media sales channels (like Pinterest)</li>
<li>Track orders</li>
<li>Respond to orders</li>
</ul>
In contrast to Magento, Shopify is hosted. This means they take care of hosting for you. For small business owners without any real web development experience, Shopify could be the best option. This means you’ll have to pay to use the Shopify platform itself, but that most of the technical details are taken care of for you.
Like Magento, Shopify allows users to customize their e-shops with over 100 ready-made themes. Shopify setup is extremely clean and simple to get the hang of for beginners. The e-commerce platform comes with a 14-day free trial so you’ll be able to test out the e-shop solution before committing.
Customer support is provided 24/7 for e-shop owners. So, if you do encounter any problems with the platform, from dysfunctional themes to errors processing payments through the Shopify credit card processing system, you’ll be able to receive help from experts.
Shopify, like Magento, has a dedicated community. So, if you’re looking for tips, tricks, or some help with initial setup, the Shopify community will be able to assist you.
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
Making an eye-catching website with superb ease-of-use, beautiful digital design, and optimized content is no easy feat.
Building your own e-shop, complete with a dazzling frontend and a dependable backend that takes care of orders and shipments, is nearly impossible on your own. Instead of building from scratch, you can leverage enterprise-grade e-commerce platforms.

Joomla 3.8.12 Released

<a href="https://appinstitute.com/">AppInstitute</a> was founded in 2011 by CEO Ian Naylor and is now one of the largest app builders in the UK. During this time it has acquired a number of startup awards and is now making big waves in the US/Canadian market.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/appinstitute-review-1_csohse.png" alt="appinstitute review - 1" />
Known as the “Wordpress for apps”, AppInstitute is a welcome addition to the App Maker CMS. The app builder guides users with no design expertise to create their own applications via the Software-as-a-Service platform. This gives SMEs and individuals the chance to minimize business costs by keeping app development and maintenance in-house.
AppInstitute’s core value “Deliver Wow” is a bold statement for any business to make but it suggests that the company has complete confidence in its product. So the question is: “does it deliver”? Check out our review below to find out.
<h2>Getting Started</h2>
Setting up an account is a breeze and you’ll receive a friendly “Welcome” email straightaway. Once you sign up, you’ll see an option to extract your business information from your Facebook account by simply typing in your page name. Total convenience.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/appinstitute-review-2_az9kyb.png" alt="appinstitute review - 2" />
On the next screen you’ll be asked to name your app and follow these steps:
<ul>
<li>Choose a category to find the best template for your app</li>
<li>Select your industry</li>
<li>Enter your website address to create a colour scheme that works with the app.</li>
</ul>
The app builder will then bring you to the next stage of the process where you can edit your design, add content, and publish your app.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/appinstitute-review-3_h02crl.png" alt="appinstitute review - 3" />
<h2>Design</h2>
Design options are a bit limited but the available templates are good – with some better than others. Once you’ve chosen a theme you have to stick with it unless you want to start over which is a bit irritating, so it’s advisable to take some time in choosing the right one for your business from the start.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/appinstitute-review-4_dzbr3m.png" alt="appinstitute review - 4" />
<h2>Usability and Support</h2>
One of the best things about this app is the support you receive whilst navigating it. The online demo/video tutorials are great for users who aren’t at all familiar with the app building process (which likely accounts for a large portion of AppInsitute demographic) and this is important because the interface has a very cluttered look that may deter newcomers.
Once you look past that, though, the drag-and-drop builder makes it easy to edit or change various app elements and the addition or deletion of functions is also just a process of a few clicks.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/appinstitute-review-5_d83lkm.png" alt="appinstitute review - 5" />
<h2>Key Features</h2>
In addition to the app templates available, there are more than 20 modules available to add more app functionality. Some key modules include:
<ul>
<li>In-app calendar and booking system including the use of rich media for the events you create</li>
<li>eCommerce module: create your own menu and check-out features so that users can pay within the app</li>
<li>Loyalty program: coupons, stamps, and loyalty point available</li>
<li>Maps and other location-based features</li>
</ul>
Marketing resources and analytics, push notifications, and a Content Management System are also available to give you even more insight into how your customers are interacting with your app.
<h2>Languages</h2>
As the company is based in the UK, I expected at least 2 language options. However English is the only available option at the moment.
<h2>Compatibility</h2>
AppInstitute is compatible with iOS 6.0 or later on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and 4.0.3 upwards is required for the Android version.
<h2>Pricing</h2>
After your free trial, there are 4 subscription tiers available to suit your needs. The AppInstitute starter plan at $35 p/m is definitely affordable but it may not be enough for some companies. Things start to get a little pricey as you move up the tier ranks, but the AppBuilder Pro+ for $84 monthly is a solid middle-ground option that’s both cost-effective and feature-rich.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/appinstitute-review-6_lj8q9q.png" alt="appinstitute review - 6" />
<h2>Pros</h2>
<ul>
<li>100% free trial with no credit card required</li>
<li>Drag-drop builder and instant preview</li>
<li>Possible to hire a developer to assist with the design</li>
<li>Great online support</li>
</ul>
<h2>Cons</h2>
<ul>
<li>Limited template options</li>
<li>Once you cancel your subscription, your app is automatically unpublished from all stores</li>
<li>Can be pricey</li>
<li>Cluttered UI</li>
</ul>
<h2>Final Verdict &amp; Rating: ⅘</h2>
Overall, AppInstitute is a solid App Builder for app design newbies and the price factor isn’t a massive issue in comparison to outsourcing your app development. The busy interface means that it may take complete beginners a while to get their bearings, but the features available more than compensate for that.
If you’re a small to medium business in need of an app, I definitely recommend giving AppInstitute a try.

AppInstitute Review

<a href="https://www.dreamhost.com">DreamHost® </a>has launched a WordPress Export Feature built into its proprietary website builder, <a href="https://www.dreamhost.com/website-builder/">Remixer</a>.
Effective immediately, DreamHost Remixer users who are also DreamHost customers have the power to export their sites to WordPress, carrying across all styles, theming and content created within Remixer into a freshly created WordPress website. The new WordPress export tool does away with Remixer’s “walled garden” approach to website content and brings true data portability to Remixer users, aligning with DreamHost’s stance to fight for the Open Web. 
“We’re committed to supporting the Open Web,” said DreamHost’s vice president of product, Remixer, Ralph Castro. “From free speech to free software, to giving our users complete control and ownership of their data, this launch builds on the web’s early promise to help users share their content online on their platform of choice.”
Remixer has embraced WordPress’ new, in-development “Gutenberg” design paradigm, exporting block-based designs and content designed to work with the WordPress of today and tomorrow.
To date, Remixer is the only standalone website builder with the ability to export websites and their content directly to WordPress, making this a noteworthy industry first. More than that, once a DreamHost customer’s site of choice is moved to WordPress with Remixer, they will have the freedom to take their site to any hosting service of their choice. 
“DreamHost customers can use WordPress' own built-in Export tool to take their data anywhere,” explains VP of Corporate Communications for DreamHost, Brett Dunst. “That's one of the great benefits of the Open Web and open technology like WordPress — true data portability.”
Other notable features of the newly updated Remixer website builder include:
<ul>
<li>Unlimited websites: With Remixer, feel free to build as many websites as you’d like all under one plan.</li>
<li>No page limits: Build an unlimited number of pages on your website.</li>
<li>Custom domain name: Assign your own domain name to your Remixer website.</li>
<li>Free stock photos: You’ll have access to gorgeous professional photos via Pixabay.</li>
<li>SEO made easy: Update your SEO-friendly titles and meta descriptions. </li>
<li>Your own media library: Publish photos, videos and audio directly to your site.</li>
</ul>
Like its new WordPress Export feature, Remixer’s unique ability to guide the average internet user through the intimidating process of website building is built on the foundation of the Open Web. The website builder caters to the majority of internet users who don’t know code and whose web experience is limited to sending emails. Whether you need a site for your small business, you professional portfolio, or your creative ventures, Remixer allows you to easily build your foundation and export your creation to WordPress, the home of 75 million other websites.
DreamHost Remixer’s WordPress export tool is in beta and is available at no charge to all new and existing Remixer All Access users and DreamHost Shared Hosting customers. User feedback during this period will be used, as always, to shape the future of Remixer and other new offerings from DreamHost.
<h2>About DreamHost</h2>
DreamHost is a premier Managed WordPress hosting provider, giving over 400,000 businesses, developers and content creators worldwide the tools they need to own their digital presence. Powered by a strong team of industry experts with nearly two decades of advanced web experience, DreamHost is a leader in Managed WordPress hosting.

DreamHost Remixer gets WordPress Export Feature

Nuxeo, the leading cloud-native Content Services Platform, today announced Fast Track 10.2, which includes several updates and adds new features to the core Nuxeo Platform.
Nuxeo 10.2 adds enhanced capabilities for annotations, including the ability for users to annotate office documents, images, videos, PDFs, and AutoCAD documents for review/validation processes or for media enrichment. The latest release of the Nuxeo Platform also features a new Adobe Creative Cloud connector, which has been rebuilt from the ground up to improve the user experience and leverage the full capabilities of Adobe CC 2018.
“The latest release of the Nuxeo Platform further strengthens our foundation for building intelligent solutions that connect information across the enterprise, improving business performance and delivering competitive advantage,” said Chris McLaughlin, chief product and marketing officer at Nuxeo. “Nuxeo 10.2 is an intelligent information management platform that enables enterprises to build personalized business solutions to deliver the right information to the right people at the right time on any device.”
Other updates and enhancements featured in<a href="https://www.nuxeo.com/about/what-is-new/?utm_source=Press%20release&amp;utm_campaign=Nuxeo%2010.2%20announcement"> Nuxeo 10.2 </a>include:
<ul>
<li>Federation Blob Provider: The Nuxeo Platform can now manage binary content “in place” (i.e. content that remains stored in external ECM or EFSS systems). In addition to extending the Nuxeo content federation strategy, this enables customers to get all the benefits of a modern Content Services Platform (scale, search, workflows, automation, and permissions) without the cost and pain of forced migrations.</li>
<li>Metadata Comparison: Nuxeo’s Web UI now offers functionality for comparing metadata values across multiple documents. Accuracy and speed are critical when users must clearly identify granular differences across a lot of data linked to different documents or versions of the same document (e.g. product or catalog use cases). Users can now easily review an entire document or just compare the differing metadata values.</li>
<li>Identifying Similar Content: The Nuxeo Platform now supports “More Like This” type queries, which enables intelligent searchesacross a repository for content that’s close to the content of a given image, document, case or other business object. This is particularly useful in case management projects where finding similar cases can reduce resolution time.</li>
<li>Bulk Actions Framework: When dealing with large volumes of data, even a simple action like updating metadata across the entire repository can take a long time and impact overall platform performance. Nuxeo has streamlined these bulk operations with a Bulk Action Framework built on a Kafka-based streaming infrastructure. This framework allows customers to execute custom actions on millions or even billions of content items easily, and in a highly-scalable and robust manner. This can be particularly useful for enterprises that have high-availability solution requirements, or that have specific needs around bulk or volume processing of content or data.</li>
<li>Avro: Nuxeo Stream now sends Asynchronous Processing Messages in Kafka using Avro. Avro is a standardized way of enabling modern systems to communicate with each other. This allows any service to consume Nuxeo messages in a standardized manner, and its programmatic capabilities enhance the openness of the Nuxeo Platform.</li>
</ul>

Nuxeo Announces Updates to its Content Services Platform

dotCMS, a leading open-source Java CMS and Customer Experience Management software vendor, has launched their latest version, <a href="https://dotcms.com/docs/latest/changelogs#release-5.0">dotCMS 5.0</a>, adding UI / UX features to improve the author experience, a refreshed Edit Mode, new reporting, as well as enhancements to search and security.
“We have made a company-wide decision to make dotCMS the most user-friendly system in the marketplace, and dotCMS 5.0 is a giant step in that direction,” said Will Ezell, dotCMS CTO.
“Marketing and business users spend a majority of their time in our authoring environment, which is why we decided to do a complete refresh of our Edit Mode,”  Ezell continued. “With a cleaner UI, new drag and drop features, and an added reporting module, dotCMS 5.0 follows our <a href="http://go.dotcms.com/nocode-is-the-new-standard">‘NoCode’ philosophy</a>, offering editors the autonomy they need to create without heavy reliance on IT.
dotCMS 5.0 includes a slew of new drag-and-drop capabilities, including:
<ul>
<li>Page / Layout Editor: Layouts are now tied to the page itself, making it easy to make changes to the layout without having to leave the page editor.</li>
<li>Workflow Builder: Building on the ‘Four Eyes’ approval feature from dotCMS 4.3, the dotCMS 5.0 Workflow builder allows for multiple workflow schemes per content type.</li>
<li>Content Type Builder: Users can now drag and drop from a list of fields to build out content types. Adding rows, columns, and changing the order of fields makes it easier to build out new content types, especially forms.</li>
<li>Containers: A huge improvement to the usability of the platform, containers can be used multiple times on the same page, leading to the decrease in the number of templates and the overall ease of management of templates, layouts and containers.</li>
</ul>
Along with these new drag-and-drop features, <a href="http://go.dotcms.com/dotcms-5-0-product-brief">dotCMS 5.0</a> also includes a new reporting module that integrates with Google Analytics to allow businesses to gain insight into their website right from the dotCMS Dashboard. This visualization of your web properties can be customized to show what insights are most important to your business.
“While dotCMS 5.0 does focus primarily on the authoring environment, we’ve also made improvements to the backend, including upgrading to ElasticSearch v6.1, security fixes, and adding full <a href="https://dotcms.com/landing-pages/webinars/why-containerization-makes-sense-for-your-cms-webinar">containerization capabilities</a>,” said Ezell.
