the internet isn't a poor cousin anymore

The E.CMF handles killer page displays through display-templates. A two-step process controls display. In the first step the base templates are created. These templates are then allocated to channels/zones. A particular template can be used in multiple areas/channels. Checks are maintained to take care that data integrity is maintained depending on where this template is deployed. As an example a template containing an image will be allowed in an HTML display mode but will not be allowed as an SMS template.

Given here are a few examples of what is achievable with the E.CMF in terms of eventual page designs. Almost all elements used in the examples on this page are produced using the framework and are dynamic elements produced on the fly (with the exception of photographs and artist illustrations).

Thin Charts
There are several charting components within the E.CMF component library, which can be called upon individually for the development of interesting user-friendly design. Some of the things that these components make are programme generated bar graphs, stacked histograms, line graphs and pie charts.

Impossible Layouts
Interesting layouts can be very important to certain content-based businesses. These operations feel seriously compromised with the presentation limitations of the Internet at the moment. Our layout components have successfully worked around many of these hurdles and have made it possible to create powerful web layouts dynamically without having to involve manual crafting of web page designs. A few examples have been included here to illustrate the kind of web pages that can be dynamically created using the E.CMF.

Hyper Links
Hyper links can be put into a
dynamically generated page.

Flexible Fonts Say bye to system fonts! Our font components can take any font on the author / designer's PC and converts them into lightweight PNGs. This normally adds a lot of flavour to headings, titles and inserts.
Multimedia Embedding This example shows a promotion being served from a 3P ad server being displayed within a dynamically generated page. Media files such as Flash, Video or Animations can also be displayed in the same seamless manner using E.CMF.
Inserts An example of an insert being automatically formatted within an article.

Data Pages
A little bit of imagination and creativity aided with the Display templates of the E.CMF can easily turn otherwise dreary data heavy pages into interesting pages.

Thin Charts
All the charting components explained above can pick up values from databases at predefined intervals and create extremely lightweight PNG files on the fly and display them on web pages. The dimensions can be left flexible or can be set by design guidelines.
