Alfresco offers two content management web clients that can be used right out-of-the box:
- Alfresco Share - the traditional web client that are still heavily used, but it is based on some technology that might not be well known among developers. For more information, see the Alfresco Share documentation.
- Digital Workspace - the newer web client that are based on the well known Angular JavaScript framework. This web client is also built with components from the Alfresco Application Development Framework (ADF). For more information, see the Digital Workspace documentation.
When developing (customizing) the user interface for your domain specific content management solution follow this approach:
- Check if your customizations can be done to the Digital Workspace, this is usually the case when dealing with most customizations. For more information, see the Develop section in the Digital Workspace documentation.
- When faced with more complex UI customizations where you would see that most of the Digital Workspace UI would have to change, develop a custom UI on top of Application Development Framework. For more information, see Application Development Framework (ADF).
