paradigm of "clean content": strict separation of content, layout, and design
browser-based interface, authors aggregate atoms, staged workflows
design-pattern approach (template adaption)
shortens production cycle
ensures project success
developed & evaluated in the medical area
perfectly suited for hospitals, research institutions, NGOs and small to medium-size international companies
