Overall Satisfaction with Cascade Server
Cascade Server manages the entire university's website. All staff has access to update webpages as needed. With its MS Word-like interface, it's pretty easy to add new text and formatting, however, phantom HTML code gets embedded sometimes so editing can be a challenge. For example, on the preview pane, everything looks properly aligned and formatted, but when you publish the page, things get a little wacky and you'll lose the consistency and formatting that you've set up. I don't know how much of this is Cascade's problem or if it has to do with the website parameters that the university sets up so individual users don't totally destroy the look and feel of the school's whole website. But, it's been problematic. There have been times I have had to delete an entire page and start from scratch to clear it out. I'm not too savvy with HTML, but I can get around if needed and I still have trouble with the source coding at times.
- MS Word-like interface for creating text
- Editing multiple times can be challenging since HTML code gets integrated and can lead to misformatting.
- Accordian features are not formattable.
- Limited options in sidebar (if you're not super fluent in HTML coding)
- N/A - not responsible for purchasing
