Odin Assemble Features

Odin Assemble was designed to offer strong performance in limited resource environments. Even with its small footprint of less then 28k for the entire Odin Assemble core, Odin Assemble provides a number of robust features normally reserved for content management systems:

Dynamic Content

• Odin Assemble elements, modular and re-usable by nature, provide limitless dynamic content capabilities. From message boards to image randomization, from feed display (rss, rdf and atom) to anti-spam mailto links, elements are a key feature of Odin Assemble.
• Elements can also be used to create dynamic site wide navigation (as seen in action at this web-site). The freely available "Simple Menu" element offers support for an unlimited level of menu depth and renders top level navigation, current level navigation, specified levels of navigation and the popular bread crumb or trailing navigation.

• Easy to learn and quick to master, Odin Assemble provides a simple structure that helps to organize any web-site project. Odin Assemble can help you by providing speed through better organization.
• You'll also find a number of free, re-usable and modifiable elements that can be easily tweaked to your specific need. By using existing elements you'll reduce your development cycles.
• Why waste time identifying contextually accurate meta data when Odin Assemble can handle it for you automatically? Saving steps, saves time.

Automated "Search Engine Optimization"

• Google Sitemap's help Google index your web-site. Odin Assemble generates valid Google Sitemap's as a basic feature!
• Search Engine Friendly URLs are a must for any web-site. Odin Assemble improves your search engine visibility by offering dynamic features in a static looking package.
• Meta data generation is a helpful feature when you're unsure what your specific meta description and keywords should be. Odin Assemble provides two methods of meta data generation; contextual and weighted keyword frequency. Odin Assemble, when configured, will generate valid and relevant meta data for you.
• New SEO oriented elements such as "All Links" are also being released. These elements will be listed in our element download area.

Efficent Architecture

• Odin Assemble is designed to be efficent, for both the site owner and the site visitor. Out of the box Odin Assemble provides internal compression for all rendered pages. Before Odin Assemble actually sends compressed data, it determines what type of content encoding the browser will accept ("gzip", "deflate" or none at all) and will return its output accordingly. This servers to reduces bandwidth expenses.
• In addition to compression Odin Assemble also provides support for 304 Not Modified headers. If a page has not been altered then instead of re-transfering the page contents, Odin Assemble instead instructs the browser to use its locally cached version (if available). This also reduces bandwidth expenses.
• Common tasks such as providing printable views of pages or identifying the last modified date of any page have been included in the core to reduce development time and cost.

Secure Architecture

• By compiling Odin Assemble, we've closed our source code to would-be hackers and thus provided improved security to Odin Assemble site owners.

Cost

• Odin Assemble is free. With no setup/installation charges and no recurring monthly charges, Odin Assemble, provides an exceptionally low total cost of ownership. (Remember! Odin Assemble is designed to work in limited resource environments so expect your resources dollar to go farther as well.)
