Web "content" is sometimes referred to as static information, as they remain unchanged for majority of web pages. Those that are dynamically changed are usually the result of an application operations (such as displaying the content of a shopping cart or a listing of all staff in the department).
However, some information do not change often, but they do change sometimes. For example, the "what's new", the contact information, special promotion, newsletter etc.
In BEE, we define web content as information presented in a predefined area of a specific web page. Web content comes in "units", called Web Content Unit. The system handles Web Content Units as text variables (a special type of scheme class variables). You can have a program script to handle Web Content Units, show them, hide them, even change them, like they do variables.
When a Web Content Unit is being edited online, it will be surrounded by a dotted line square so that the user what can be changed.
