Main features
Simplicity of using
You can navigate your Web-site and choose editable areas by double mouse click or context menu. Blandware AtLeap has rich text formatting possibilities (changing fonts and colors, inserting lists, tables, images, flashes, links etc.) using WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor which allows to import texts from Microsoft Word. AtLeap supports two different WYSIWYG editors: FCKEditor and TinyMCE.
Multilingual content
There is an ability to store content in several languages simultaneously in UTF-8 encoding. 100% of content is stored in the database. You can edit any data using web interface. AtLeap allows all available pages to be indexed in all languages by external search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc). The Administrative console is availble in the following languages: English, Russian, Chinese, German, Spanish, Italian.
Full text search engine
The embedded engine provides the ability to search in several languages (English, Spanish, Russian, German, French, Portuguese, Norwegian, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Czech, Greek etc.), taking into account inflexions and stop words. The engine also enables indexing of the following document formats: RTF, PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, ODF, HTML, XHTML, XML, TXT.
Individualization
AtLeap’s CMS ideology does not restrict creative graphical design of the site. The customer does not want template, banal routine graphical design. Blandware AtLeap allows the creation of an individual, unique and exceptional solution.

Good framework
AtLeap project is initially based on AppFuse project which has already integrated modern open source practices.
Lightweight
It does not require (but can be run on) heavy and/or an expensive EJB (Enterprise Java Bean) application server to run.
Reliability
- Multi-user work, implemented using application transactions (optimistic concurrency control). As for big texts you can even merge simultaneously edited content.
- Database transactions: rollbacks and pessimistic locking;
- Big texts are still saved even the HTTP session is invalidated.
- Input forms are validated at server and client side.
- Transparently saving state information and repopulating forms when they are redisplayed;
- Preventing double form submission (client and server side);
- Bidirectional relationships between links and resources in order to prevent creating broken links and deleting used resources;
- There's an ability to replace almost all dependent links during changing URL of Content Page or Resource.
Free and open source
It can be run on free open source software. Blandware AtLeap is free (under Apache 2.0 license) and its open sources provide many good design patterns and examples.
