Personalisation

Personalisation provides the ability of a site to be changed specifically for a user, which can be controlled by a user or set by the system based on information about the user.

Styles

Styles are the skins and themes that allow a site to be "white labelled" and for the visual appearance of the site to be easily changed

Mobility

The Mobility component provide the ability of site content to be delivered to a specific device which requires a fundamental change to the layout of content.

Localisation

Localisation is the ability of the site to easily support changes that would make it relevant to the user. Applies to language but to content appearance.

Rich Interface

RIA (Rich Internet Access) provides mechanisms for the user to have to have a more fluid experience with the site, through more dynamic technologies such as AJAX.

Navigation

Navigation is the capability for users to find their way through site content in a logical fashion. It includes look-and-feel, the sitemap, use of classification models and search.

Channel Transformation

Channel Transformation is the capability to transform content in a fashion that is specific to the outbound channel. A key enabler for mobility.
