Build Custom Sites Faster
Use GDX to turn your custom templates into a CMS website in 2 days or less. Because GDX is low code as well as a software-as-a-service platform, you can turn your templates into a content-managed website in no time flat.
Advantages of Low-Code GDX
Time to market is the most impactful advantage of GDX. Once you have your HTML templates, an experienced GDXer can translate a full set of templates to a fully managed site in under 2 days. Custom templates, to a fully managed site in 2 days.
Because GDX is low code, another dramatic advantage of GDX over PHP monoliths is reduced labor cost. Instead of needing a highly skilled programmer, with years of experience, you can use anyone with HTML skills and very basic knowledge of JavaScript.
GDX's Low-Code Solution
The GDX approach to a low-code solution has two parts. The first part is using JSON to configure your editable content. Using sections and elements, you can control what an admin page looks like for the administrator and how that content will show on the front end. Take the following template as an example.
Using the Content Schema Builder, you generate the JSON content schema and save it with the layout. You can then manage that content in the admin.
EJS Templating
The second part of GDX's low-code solution is EJS, which is a combination of HTML and JavaScript to create dynamically driven pages. To print the data point saved in the admin, the template uses the EJS output syntax: <%= content.my_data_point %>
The page on the front end then displays the content.
