Powerful App-Framework

Tag-based Design - Serverside JavaScript

WebTML is an application framework from a web developers perspective, based on a template engine using simple markup tags, but with powerful capabilities. Web design teams using OpenWGA are able to create many astounding applications themselves without the need for help from "traditional" backend developers.

JavaScript at all ends

Although the OpenWGA CMS platform is based on Java technology there is no need for the web developer to get in touch with Java code. OpenWGA applications typically are written without a single line of Java code inside.

JavaScript at all ends

OpenWGA uses a server-side JavaScript engine, called TMLScript, which offers access to OpenWGA's powerful CMS APIs, as well as any additional Java API which you may want to use in your application.

There's no need to learn an additional language.
