What Customers Are Saying“Countless managers of small to medium sites have wondered how to cross the chasm from hand-built pages to a true content management system. Now a product called CityDesk provides the best answer yet.” — Sydney Morning Herald (reprinted here) “...Much of the true value of the Web comes from targeted, specialized sites. Small sites can't afford monster CMS products, so a good low-end system is highly welcome.” — Jakob Nielsen “Basically it's a superb piece of software.... I used to be a web designer and I've tried virtually everything there is out there and nothing comes close to CityDesk in terms of power, flexibility and ease of updating your site.... I can't recommend CityDesk highly enough.” —John's Adventures “If you are comfortable with Windows, and you can write a letter in Word, you are already a CityDesk user! This rules! It's the best '1.0' version software I have seen in a long time.” — Robert Moir, Microsoft MVP “I got my first site (an intranet site for a project at work) up and running within an hour, and have been happily adding content to it ever since... The biggest thing that strikes me about CityDesk so far is its simplicity. This is not a complicated piece of software, and it's not doing a complicated task. But it does it extremely well, and I suspect a lot of effort has gone into making it seem this simple.” — Darren Collins “I have never entered and then lost a post, and I've posted upwards of 600 entries since I started using CityDesk last December... I have never used a commercial package more reliable than CityDesk.” — Steven Den Beste “...CityDesk [is] a fantastic low-cost desktop content management tool that revolutionizes the ease with which any journalist, researcher or writer can update and post to his web site without the need to go through a webmaster.” — MasterMind Explorer “I am continually amazed with the intuitive nature built into this application.” — Gil Price “Any time in the past I wanted to do Content Management it meant buying servers, licenses, and paying developers. For several hundred thousand dollars less, CityDesk puts Content Management in the reach of everybody. In terms of features, CityDesk nearly reaches the highs of Interwoven Teamsite and Vignette Storyserver, yet remains accessible to the average user and affordable to the average company. Since it operates on the desktop, it can be used with any hosting service, including free ones. CityScript is so easy that it requires little more than a basic knowledge of HTML. I've evaluated dozens of products in this category and CityDesk not only leads the pack, CityDesk *is* the pack.” — Mark Wieczorek “If this is only the 1.0 version of CityDesk, desktop content management systems are about to explode.... it has a beautifully clean user interface. I got an entire site up from scratch in mere hours.” — Garth Kidd “As a developer, it is always my goal to build systems that not only fulfill the needs of my users, but do so in a manner that is easy for them to use. I seldom have users who are sophisticated with computers. The more I can hide the innards of system the better. I want my users to be able to concentrate on getting their work done, and I hope that the tool I build is small enough to fit in their hand and flexible enough for them to use creatively.... My users are not only happy, they are thrilled and actually enjoy using the tool I created for them. This, in turn, speaks volumes about CityDesk.” — Joel Finkel, owner, Systems by Design of Illinois “Weblogs happen. It's just that they happen a lot easier with CityDesk. It's the first desktop application that abstracts content from formatting without requiring users to have a doctorate of some kind to use it. It's elegant, stable, simple, and practical - I now count on it.” — Mark Lemmons, Director, Creative Software Group, Creo “..an exciting step in the right direction for low-cost, easy-to-understand web site management. Bravo to Joel and his company, Fog Creek Software.” — Adam Blust “As an owner of CityDesk Home, I want to thank the folks at Fog Creek Software for their great technical support. They were exceptionally responsive to a recent problem and worked through the weekend to resolve a problem ... Hats off and thanks for the great support!” — Joe Hardesty “I would really recommend this to anybody and have already told a friend who has to set up a web site for his church.... Great product!” — Andrew Kay “CityDesk is an excellent product, and delivers its capabilities with ease and clarity.” — David Ness “Finally, a CMS that's powerful enough for large/complex sites, but easy enough for the average word-processor user to use!” — ComputingConsultants.com
There are three editions of CityDesk (what's the difference?)
