3.9 for Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP, Mac OS 9, and Mac OS X
| Mergemill is a versatile
static web publishing and database tool that merges templates
with data feeds to generate your desired output files, quickly
and easily.
It serves well in many steps of your web publishing workflow,
especially when you need to web publish text-based contents.
You may use it to quickly create thousands of static web
pages from text files, spreadsheets or databases, to be
published on the Web or CD-ROM. You can easily set up FTP
accounts, and instruct Mergemill to automatically upload
generated web pages.
Source contents may come from any text editor, FileMaker
Pro, MS Access, 4th Dimension, MS Excel, AppleWorks, or
any database that can export data in XML, Merge or tab-separated
text format.
Free web templates provided with Mergemill enable anyone
to easily become a web publisher. Mergemill's rich set of
tags also enables professional website builders or web developers
to easily create static web databases.
v3.9 Improvements:
(1) The new Lookup Extension fits the way you manage information
in a relational database.
(2) Mergemill lets you specify URLs for external source
files. This opens for you the door to collaborative web
publishing.

 Opportunities
abound on the Web. To grasp them today requires significant
focus and effort in order to compete with millions of other
websites. You need to be efficient in creating web pages
to dedicate more resources and time to add value to your
site.
Perhaps you already have a very successful or prominent
website, and your current focus is simply on pouring in
content. We helped clients like you. They are no less motivated
to minimize their production time
than others. They want their staff to spend more time on
adding value to their website and creating a better experience
for visitors. This brings greater work satisfaction and
reduces the frustration of having to ask the question: "Why
do I have to do these tedious tasks repeatedly?"
We
Understand Your Need to Manage Information Well and Efficiently
Publish Them
 We
believe in automation. In fact, most of our business activities
for many years have been helping clients to automate their
core business processes as much and as intelligently as
possible. Our early solutions heavily used Excel with Macros.
Quickly we moved on to database solutions with FileMaker
Pro, MS FoxPro, 4th Dimension, and Oracle. Our extensive
experience with spreadsheets and databases enable us to
fully understand your need to manage information well on
the one hand, and efficiently publish them on the Web on
the other.
Database-driven dynamic websites have definite advantages
and are highly popular. However, they are not the best answer
for every need to publish database on the Web. Chainsaws
are fit for cutting logs; with tomatoes however, the versatile
knife works more elegantly without fuss and mess.
A New Addition to Your Web
Publishing Toolset That Brings Many Benefits
 We
developed Mergemill to fill many gaps in
the database publishing process. It is particularly well
suited to publishing large amount of information on the
Web or CD, and for quickly building websites or parts of
websites which do not need to present contents dynamically
according to user responses.
Mergemill is a static web publishing and database tool
that merges templates with data feeds to generate your desired
output files, quickly and easily. It brings you many
benefits:
| 1. |
Scripting with Mergemill's tags in templates is far
easier than developing a database-driven
web application. |
| 2. |
Any web host can
serve your website. |
| 3. |
Your website performance is
far better. |
| 4. |
You may easily manage your
contents in text files, spreadsheets or databases. |
| 5. |
You may identify the most common browse
paths and use Mergemill to generate easy links on
your web pages. This creates a better experience
for your visitors. Doing this dynamically
may cause a big performance impact on your website. |
| 6. |
You make it very easy for search engines
to index your site, which will boost
your search result rankings and therefore
traffic to your website. |
| 7. |
The generated pages can be easily
viewed locally with a web browser, and so are perfect
for distribution on CD-ROMs. |
| 8. |
Your database can be kept offline,
which eliminates many security and data privacy
issues. |

Fantastic
"static" data tool. Nuff said.
(Shaitan, review at MacUpdate)
| "I
love the trial version and I
am ready to purchase ... this
will be great tool ..." |

| "We were
able to showcase our website www.termite.com
at the National Pest Management Association
2003 Annual Conference in Dallas, Texas. We
generated lot of interest particularly the visitors
to our stand were taken-aback when it became
a challenge to find out if their 'home-town'
was listed on our website. We didn't have to
disappoint many !!!
As the Google picked our new pages on its daily
bot visits, it became even more interesting
as we could pick the visitor's hometown by punching
in termite control 'your hometown' in Google
search and yes they were there - two clicks
away from the homepage. We could add hometown
pages there and then just by adding their 'missing'
hometown name to our database and re-running
MergeMill job and FTP to our server back in
Sydney and by the time they came around for
a second visit to our stand, YES THEY WERE HAPPY
TO FIND THEMSELVES :))
Thanks to MergeMill
that now we see many more ways that we can use
it to further refine and extend our 'huge' website." |

"We are a medical content company that delivers
web content to a multitude of companies. We have templates
that our customers give us and we have to manually
put the content in the HTML templates. This is very
tiresome and a drain of our resources. We downloaded
your software and converted a template to load automatically.
What a time saver," wrote Mario Ascoli, the IT
Manager of a medical content publisher in USA.
"You have a wonderful product
... Thanks again for a great product."

 Mergemill
Is a Versatile Tool
We did not create a one-task pony. Mergemill serves you
well in multiple parts of your publishing workflow, especially
when you want to publish text-based contents.
Mergemill's rich set
of tags gives you both creative freedom and precise
control to create your desired results. Give a little
thought and you can do a lot with the nestable IF and
CASE tags, loop tags and system tags. The tags are straightforward
to use. Each tag accepts no more than 6 easily-understood parameters.
Just add the {Column_Number} parameter next to the [[Field_Name]]
in the Field tag, for example, and you can easily create
multicolumn tables.
Mergemill's powerful looping and branching tags make it a
unique and very useful data manipulation tool. You are
not limited to tasks of generating web pages efficiently. With
only a few lines of tags in a text template, for example, you
can automate a sophisticated data manipulation process to restructure
your spreadsheet-like database export into a form more suitable
for publishing.
If you need guidance on using the Mergemill tags, we
provide many resources to make it easy for you. The Tag
Syntax Guide on one page provides a very handy reference.
The Tutorial covers most aspects of using the software,
plus some advanced tips on using the tags. The carefully developed
User's Guide covers everything essential. These documentations
and many illustrative examples are all in the Mergemill software
package.

own templates, return to this website and choose from our free
collections of well over 1000 web templates. Check out
this case study, and you will
