edeptive™ software is built on Microsoft’s .NET Framework, using the C# language and Microsoft’s SQL Server as the database engine. These are all industry standard products and conform to open systems standards. Templates are written in HTML with additional tags (e.g. ) which get converted to C# code when the template is uploaded to a site. The actual pages used by a site are all .aspx pages so no extra interpretation is needed after a template has been uploaded.

All HTML generated by our code is XHTML compatible but the templates can use any doctype needed.

We have webservices with methods covering every aspect of the system so that all data can be accessed as XML or JSON. (All templates can have RSS feeds using a related bit of code.) We even have webservices for adding or updating content so it’s possible to create alternative admin interfaces – this would usually be for a specific purpose, such as letting registered visitors add reviews of products.

Currently admin is done using the Internet Explorer browser (version 6+) but all pages generated will work in any browser, only limited by how the template’s HTML has been put together by whoever creates it.
