Welcome to Quanta

Quanta Plus is a web development tool for the K Desktop Environment. Quanta is focused on productivity and power and is build for and by professional web developers. While maintaiing this focus Quanta is also what our friends and families use to do their first home pages too. The main goal of Quanta is to empower people at every skill level to build pages better and faster than with less focused tools.

Why work from a text based editor? Because static (dead) web pages are quickly fading into obscurity. In their place are PHP, Zope, ASP, HTML::Mason and other forms of dynamic pages. Our personal focus is PHP but Quanta can be extended for any development language. PHP can be as simple as a few tags in your HTML, full of tags, using templates, classes and cached pages... all hooked to databases and becoming chameleon like in selectable styles. Like we say... static HTML is going the way of the dinosaur and we are working to build the tool to make you more productive than you ever could be drawing pictures. Stay tuned!
