Liferay: Beginner & Overview

Reference:

In short, Liferay Portal is more than a development platform, more than a content management system, more than a social network, and more than a set of collaboration tools. It’s the best way to build a web site.

How Can Liferay’s WCM Help You?

With Liferay’s WCM you have the ability to create, edit, stage, publish and approve content with easy to learn yet powerful tools. Liferay’s WCM streamlines the content creation process for end users. It’s much faster to use Liferay’s WCM than it would be to create all the content for your site in HTML. Some ways Liferay WCM makes this possible include:

• Once set up, non-technical users can manage the site.
• Liferay’s fine-grained permissions system ensures your content gets to the right users.
• To manage the site, no programming is required.
• Content can be staged.
• Content can be passed through a workflow.
• Content can be published on a schedule.
• WCM is integrated with Liferay’s services so advanced template developers can use them to query for data stored elsewhere in Liferay.

Once you get familiar with Liferay WCM you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it.
