Businesses, organizations, and schools, all over the world, use FirstMagic to publish websites, blogs, portfolios, streaming media channels, and Digital Signs.
It has never been easier to create and distribute ownership of websites. Make one for every stakeholder, a space for every teacher, a portfolio for every student... FirstMagic scales with FirstClass; if you have ten thousand users, you can have ten thousand sites... Or more.
Your FirstClass Server is the back end - FirstMagic's data repository. The front end can be whatever your organization needs it to be; FCWS, FirstClass Go, or the FirstClass Client, all can make FirstMagic web pages, though you will not need these apps: if your policy allows, End Users can simply sign onto their sites and publish right there, directly on their web pages, using their own browsers. No other software needed.
Design vibrant websites with ease
Implement your organizationĀ“s branding and design guidelines, and these will govern all aspects of site appearance - inside and outside the Login Wall.
Website Owners
and End Users can use the built in SkinDesigner to create
their own Design Themes - simply by point-and-click. Or, choose a
ready to use Theme from a library of 40 built in Themes. Make
available only specific Design Themes for their use, or enforce your brand
server wide: control is granular and easy.
There
are no limitations: a FirstMagic website will look like anything
you can imagine. FirstMagic Themes are clean, well-documented CSS that any
professional Web Designer can read and
write.
Bring your old content with you
Do you have existing FirstClass web pages, conferences or personal sites? FirstMagic generates pages, headers, menus, sidebars, footers, tickers, galleries - even the Homepage itself - dynamically. Use your organization's existing FirstClass content exactly as is, or mix it with FirstMagic Layouts to publish Blogs, Galleries, Media Channels, Portfolios, Forums, Calendars, Digital Signs... ItĀ“s drag-and-drop simple.
Engage
your audience
Make custom Web Response Forms on the fly:
there's no FirstClass Designer, no coding, no Perl or PHP. End Users can

immediately.
FirstMagic ships with ready-made, plug
& play Social Media widgets for Google, Facebook, Twitter, Disqus,
Flickr, and much more: it's a single click to connect any page with your
organization's favorite channel. It works the other
way around, too: allow anybody to embed your content
in their own websites - just by grabbing a FirstMagic Tag from
your pages.
