It is written in Adobe Flex<sup> </sup>and runs in your web browser as an Adobe Flash<sup> </sup>movie so it's available from anywhere in the world on any browser. Element allows you to manage and maintain everythingin your own website that is hosted on our servers. So you don't have to worry about anything but your content. You just open your web browser, go to Element and start managing your website(s). Although Element is built in Flex, it displays your site to your visitors in standard HTML using Adobe ColdFusion<sup></sup>to dynamically create the webpage. This provides many advantages to you over a strictly Flash based website.</p> <p>Element requires no programming knowledge or HTML experience. No longer do you need to create hundreds of webpage document files on your own and then upload and maintain them on a web server manually. When you want to create a webpage, simply click to add a page and then enter the content right there, in real-time. The new page will automatically be formatted to your site's template.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">We host the server for you, we backup your content nightly, we take all the work out of maintaining a website and allow you to focus on what is important to you, the content. <strong>In fact this entire website is maintained and hosted using Element!</strong></p> <h2 style="text-align: left;">Let's take a look at some of Element's features:</h2> <table align="center" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="20" border="0" style="width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" style="width: 50%;"> <p><img width="80" src="http://www.mselement.com/resources/images/icons/webPages.png" alt="Web Pages Icon" style="float: left; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" /></p> <h3>Web Pages</h3> <p><span style="font-size: 12px;">Create an unlimited number of web pages right on the server, in real-time, using an intuitive, WYSIWYG visual editorsimilarto Microsoft Word<sup></sup>.
