Pros

  • SiteExecutive provides a simple basic and convenient interface for creating and updating webpages.
  • Easy way to create web forms, set up a confirmation webpage, and send a confirmation email.
  • Integration with YouTube allows us to quickly embed the most recent videos to our website automactically as well as choose specific videos by date or title.

Cons

  • Text editing field needs improvements as what you see while editing often differs from how the edited text will actually appear on a webpage.
  • SiteExecutive presents too many situations when inexperienced users can "lock" a webpage or a form from editing. While being trained on how to use SiteExecutive, everybody was extensively warned about the proper way to save and exit the editing mode. And even though I have extensive experience using SiteExecutive, I happened to lock the above mentioned items, and had to request assistance from someone with extended access, and wait for it to be resolved.
  • There are too many ways and places to save images for uploading to webpages, no consistency, and often times I see how my colleagues save images at a wrong default location, and I am spending time looking for the needed resources. It is not a critical feature, but needs some improvements.
