A device for enabling users without programming backgrounds to create and modify web pages combines the telephone with interactive voice-response technology, database software, streaming audio technology and the World Wide Web, which results in a simple and easy to use interface. Without knowledge of HTML, a user can pick up a phone and revise a Web site in seconds with an audio message, graphical images, new text, Web pages or hyperlinks. The touch-tone telephone handset operates as a substitute computer keyboard, allowing the user to publish a Web site from their telephone. Other features include the ability to switch between different Web pages when a particular URL is called, manipulation of existing audio, graphics and text materials on a Web site, HREF control, the ability to change the first page of a site, date stamping of any text, graphic or audio element, and the ability to edit or synchronize Internet, Intranet and IVR content within a single call. The device includes a Computer Telephony/Internet client/server architecture, which allows users to use the TCP/IP open communication protocol to interact with the computer telephony platform. This empowers those without computer telephony hardware to design, implement and sell a wide array of computer telephony and complex Internet related applications for use with the present invention without requiring a direct connection to the computer telephony platform.
