The Genus online business system has initiated a massive improvement over it’s “Sitewalk” feature. In Sitewalk the user can edit the website without going in to the back end WYSIWYG editor; essentially editing the site from the front end.
Utilizing Abobe’s InContext editing, the process is much more intuitive and robust. There are no more pop up windows for text fields. You are actually editing the content directly into the website! Sitewalk will be phased out in 12 weeks after the current beta trial is completed. Give it a go on your own by logging in to your site and going to Website–> InContext Edting.
If you don’t have a Genus site you can always try a no obligation free trial and see for yourself here.
