ZULU Website Assembler

0.00/5 (No votes)
11 May 2002 1  
ZULU is a simple tool to create websites with navigation - using excel.

ZULU creates Websites using Structure, Layout and Content. Lets compare it with a Content Management System (CMS). The CMS run on the Server, but ZULU runs as a preprocessing step on the client. Using Excel! You will be surprised - it is extremely powerful!

The Structure of the Website is maintained in a Excel 2000 Worksheet. Compare it with the screen shot above!

The Content is maintained in simple HTML-pages.

The Layout is stored in an HTML-template page. The assembler looks for ZULU-Tags and inserts content and navigation. This is the ZULU-Tag for the content:

<!--Zulu:Tag:Content-->

Pressing a button in Excel starts the assembling of the Website.

It's really cool! We have provided you a complete Sample-Site at http://www.positron.ch/zulu.

If you have problems understanding German: Don't worry, I can't speak zulu too. But if you ask me, I may translate it.
