How Bildy works

Bildy publishing platform is a combination of these two parts:

1. Bildy editor, located at Aisti's servers
2. Bildy engine, located at your server environment

This structure enables Bildy to

• be as open for developers as possible
• leave as much control for the developer and end customer as possible
• stay up to date without extra work from the developer
• evolve into new areas
• stay secure
• provide most enjoyable environment for developing and updating sites

Bildy editor

Bildy editor is a web based service for creating and updating web sites. The editor gives you tools for managing your site's settings, creating data models, templates and content. You can access all of your sites with a single Bildy account from the editor.

Aisti constantly develops Bildy editor and you will always have the latest version in use.

Editor has two kinds of users: developers and updaters. Developers have access to everything. Updaters can only create, modify and remove content.

Bildy engine

Bildy engine executes and displays the dynamic web site you've created. Your site you will be located in the server space you install Bildy engine to. Everything related to your site is at your hands: data models, controls, templates, modules and the data. This means that you have all the control of your materials all the time. To make things as open as possible, we've open-sourced the Bildy engine code that lives in your server. Read more about licences.

Bildy editor talks to your site control through a proxy. Every site has a different file name for the proxy and the proxy makes sure that the connection to it comes from Bildy editor. This way you don't have to share your user names and passwords in any point of time.

The Bildy engine is updated automatically when new version becomes available.
