"Our selection of Cascade was influenced by both the core technology and the company support. We are impressed with the product's embrace of newer standards like XML/XSL, CSS, RSS, and SOAP."

Developer's Toolkit
Cascade Server provides a comprehensive toolkit for web developers and administrators, including:
Advanced Code Editor
Cascade Server's Advanced Editor allows developers to write and maintain their code quickly, regardless of their programming language. You can manage script formats, XSLT formats, Templates, Data Definition, or even your CSS, Java, PHP, or Python files (among others) using the editor within the system.
Support for XSLT and Velocity
In order to give you the flexibility you need, Cascade Server supports both XSLT and Velocity. You can even use both languages on the same page! While Cascade Server has been supporting and will continue to support XSLT for many years, we also offer Velocity support. Our Velocity engine incorporates our own built-in tools so developers can harness their content and do more with less code.
Rendering Metrics
Cascade Server's Rendering Metrics allow you to check rendering times for each region on your page, helping you better target and identify those regions that can be further optimized.
Content Form Builder
Cascade Server's Content Form Builder helps you create structured content wizards for your non-technical users. Its simple drag-and-drop functionality lets you build structured fields quickly and efficiently.
Multi-Site Management
Cascade Server allows you to manage multiple sites from the same instance. You can create site specific roles for users, share your content across multiple sites, and publish to specific destinations and servers.
Multi-Queue Publishing
Cascade Server lets you publish multiple jobs from multiple sites to multiple destinations simultaneously, so that you can quickly publish content to an unlimited number of servers and portals.
Workflow Builder
Cascade Server's Workflow Builder helps you create easily-customizable approval and publish processes for your sites. Whether your process is simple or highly complex, the Workflow Builder can accommodate your needs.
RSS Syndidation
RSS feeds can be created from indexes or as simply as entering the feed URL into a feed block. Syndicating your content has never been easier.
Extensive Web Services API
Cascade Server's extensive Web Services API ensures access to every asset within the system, so you can communicate with external databases and applications effectively.
