  • Publication number: 20170010777
    Abstract: Methods and systems for enabling a user to define a webpage and webpage layout without knowing a programming language are disclosed. A library of modules is provided usable to configure a layout and look of a webpage. The user may add modules from the library to a webpage layout design area. The user may configure a given module so as to control the look and feel of the content accessed and displayed by the module. Different instantiations of the same module may be used to access content from different sources, including sources using different file and data formats. Content from the different sources may be accessed and stored in a schema-less database.

  • Publication number: 20150040000
    Abstract: Systems and methods are configured to generate server-side media queries and customized cascading style sheets. A server receives a request for content and a user agent from a device browser. The server serves device cookie generation code to the device, wherein the device cookie generation code is configured to be executed by the device browser to obtain properties of the device from the requesting device and to store the obtained properties as a device cookie. The server receives the device cookie from the requesting device. The server accesses a device description database and utilizes information from the user agent to locate corresponding device properties from the device description database. The server compiles a cascading style sheet based on properties stored in the device cookie and the located corresponding device properties from the device description database. The cascading style sheet is served to the requesting device.
