  Setup is web based with simple questions. Installation should take you less then 30 minutes. You do not need to be a technical person. If you can FTP, then you can setup Edit-X.
• Can we have it run under our web server, or does your software comes with a web server?
  Please provide your own web server. It works with any web server that is PHP enabled.
• My site is shared hosted by another company. They support PHP and MySQL. Is that all I need to run Edit-X? I don't have to "install" anything on the servers, have root access or edit the PHP.ini file?
  If PHP and MySQL is already setup, Edit-X is ready to go! It does not rely on "root" permissions.

• Can you elaborate on how Edit-X differs from other blogging software?
  Most content-management software comes in two flavors: hard wired and cheap, or in the form of a development toolbox and expensive. Hardwired programs are usually built for one client and sold to others who have to adapt to its rules. Development toolboxes are packages of the languages and tools needed to build an application, combined with the time and cost of extensively trained programmers and database administrators who know how to use them to custom-develop the client's application What we've developed is somewhere in the middle. I call it loose wired. We customize a basic structure for each client, but then provide the means for them to change it and add new features themselves. In fact, one of our primary goals is to reduce the labor costs associated with online publishing.
• Will the Edit-X Content Control Framework support wireless needs?
  Sure, right out of the box. Our templating system can dynamically serve anything ASCII, be it HTML, XTG, XML, or WML. If I was to sum up everything we've discussed today in a few words, they'd be integration, flexibility, and dynamic.
