ADVANTAGES OF USING RMM

1) Strong Design

Instead of starting with a bunch of files here and there, and linking them, developers have a guide to proceed with the design and development. RMM assists in keeping a homogenous site so that a common "look and feel" can be maintained throughout an application. This is important to aid in user-navigation and to portray a consistent corporate identity.

2) Demonstrative Design

Currently, there is no procedure for documenting Web sites in a concise and useful way.  In RMM, designs are expressed through concise graphical diagrams. This facilitates the process of reviewing, creating and documenting designs.

3) Separation of data, structure and user-interface

Web sites consist of groups of HTML files, CGI scripts, JAVA applets and multimedia files. In the current format, design elements, such as page-layout and navigation access are merged with content elements. This makes it extremely hard to develop and maintain applications. RMM keeps these three elements separate and allows them to be manipulated. Instead of having a collection of directories and files to manage, software developers can analyze these aspects of the application separately.

4) Maintenance

• STRUCTURE:  It is difficult for designers to envision and implement an overall navigation design. In RMM, navigational access is denoted through diagrams. These diagrams can be used by designers, users and programmers to discuss and develop the system.
• USER-INTERFACE:  Revising the "look and feel" of a Web site (done quite often) is a laborious and error-prone process.  With RMM, changes made to the design cascade through the Web system with no programming costs and without errors.
