Create a 1,000 page website in 10 minutes

ncWord2Site is the powerful Netcat Module for turning large documents created in MS-Word – manuals, legislation, reports, booklets - into smart-looking, well-presented and easy-to-navigate websites.

 

Whether it’s a 500 page Policy manual, or 50,000 pages of legislation, ncWord2Site makes your documents accessible and eliminates the need for unwieldy PDF files.

 

Word2Site analyses the structure of your document (headings, subheadings, bullets, numbering etc) and extracts the content and structure which is used to create a web site in Netcat that reflects the structure of your original document.

 

Users define a simple set of parameters that set the rules for how to handle the conversion. Once complete, the document is ready for transformation from a large, unwieldy document into a dynamic granular website, ready for publication.

 

Transform Cycle

 

These rules can be used to drive huge volumes of documents through Word2Site in batch mode, with each document generating a web site.

 

Word2Site handles the largest documents with ease... some users have documents that incorporate over 2 million dynamic links!

 

Of course, Netcat gives you the ability to reconstitute the site in to a Word document if you need it... as well as our dynamic print friendly output feature.

 

Word2Site is available as an add-on to Netcat WCM or as a standalone product that can be integrated to your existing WCM or Portal environment.

Netcat – the smart alternative to PDF

In most firms, much of the content required for the web has already been produced using MS-Word.  Many choose to convert these documents to PDF and posted them to the website, rather than use Microsoft’s “save as webpage” option, where most of the formats collapse.  Unfortunately, PDF is a poor on-line format, (refer box), as well as highly inefficient.

 

Now for the first time, there is a powerful and viable alternative to PDF, Netcat Word2Site, that will not only populate your website or intranet in record time, but deliver tangible productivity benefits.

 

With Netcat, any large MS-Word document or series of MS-Word files can be transformed into a website (or sub-site) with its own navigation, set of authors, approvers, assets, containers, workflows, etc.

 

Now you can publish user-manuals, guidelines, policy documents, legislation, judgments, annual reports, University calendars, scientific studies and booklets to the web.  And it’s fast – a 1,000 page website can be generated from a series of MS-Word documents in 10 minutes! 

How it works

Netcat works by fragmenting a document into relevant sections and creating web pages for each part of that/those document(s).  Individual sections are then linked to other sections using Netcat’s dynamic linking engine.  Some Netcat sites have tens of thousands of links. 

 

Eg.  The HR manager no longer has to download an 800 page PDF to review the policies relating to sick leave.  She can simply click the sick leave branch of the navigation and display that information with 2 or 3 clicks.  As a bonus she might automatically link through to any State Awards.

 

Similarly, a mature age student does not have to download a 1,000 page university calendar to review the linguistic courses available in Semester 2.
