Atlassian Confluence an Enterprise Wiki is not only a collaboration platform for easy documentation or manage/share your organizational knowledge, you can use it as a web-site for your org.

Confluence also provides you a development platform for your web development needs.You can actually build web sites with the help of confluence with its development features like plug-ins (Servlets, theme, XML-RPC etc.).

If you explore this development platform of confluence you will be amazed by its power and flexibility. But you should not expect the out-of the box solution for your web needs with professional looking user interface.

Default web themes which come along with the Confluence distribution will not suit you for an easy customization as an end user. But if you are a developer and looking for an easy development framework for rapid development I think Confluence could be a right choice with bit higher price tag. But it worth convincing your client in favor of using confluence because of its integrated change management system, extensibility and scalability.

You can implement virtually any kind of XHTML sites you can think off by just developing a simple web theme and velocity macros. And by doing this you are done with the features like CMS, Message Board, Search Engine Friendly URLs, Track Back Systems, Administration panel, RSS, Site Search etc.

I have developed a web theme for my company which you can visit and feel the power of it, but obviously after visiting the core confluence to make your judgment an unbiased one.

What is Virtualhost.
By using Apache Virtualhost directive an Apache Server can be used for several domains with one or many static IP addresses. And from a web developer’’s perspective it could be very helpfull for setting up multiple local domains for different projects.

The Usablity.
Every web developer wants to check his work before uploading his/her work to the live server. Whether the developer works for his/her own or for an organization it’’s a common and best practise. It is very usefull to see the beta in simulated real life test environment, like testing the static links with TLD names(abcd.com) and testing the dynamic part of the development with it also.
So our requirement #1 comes up as having a facility to test our work against for say goutamdey.com.
