Web hosting provider Hostopia (http://www.hostopia.com) has launched a new site creation application, the company announced recently. The company’s EasySiteWizard Professional uses AJAX and Web 2.0 conventions to “produce visually stunning and SEO-effective websites”.
EasySiteWizard Professional (ESWPro) is an entirely web-based application that “eliminates the need for additional plug-ins and software, and allows users to easily design, edit and maintain professional websites”. ESWPro offers drag-and-drop functionality for placing, sizing, deleting and editing images and text inside the system’s proprietary templates.
"The day of static HTML ‘brochure-ware’ sites is over,” explained Paul D. Engels, Chief Marketing Officer of Hostopia. “Small businesses demand graphically rich, interactive web sites loaded with effective user applications like image editors, search engine optimization tools, and form creation wizards. Hostopia has designed ESWPro around these user demands by integrating applications like our latest search engine optimization utility, EasySiteOptimizer within ESWPro."
ESWPro offers “a library of ready-to-use, professionally-designed website templates” alongside “30,000 web-ready photo images and objects, categorized into easy market verticals, to assist site designers with creating graphically rich and visually compelling web content”.
"ESWPro is fully integrated with our latest applications including Hostopia's new proprietary Image Editor,” added Mr. Engels. “This is an exciting addition to our suite of products as it eliminates the need for costly image editing software, previously required for creating and adding effects and image modifications to web sites. This image editor has also been incorporated into our Photo Album to create a seamless, user-intuitive experience across many Hostopia products."
Version 6 of the solution will also be offered to cater to “the more casual do-it-yourself site designer”.
