Sitemasher makes a debut, demoing its product for the first time at the LAUNCH PARTY WITH A TWIST (http://www.launchpartyhq.com/) event, Wednesday, December 05, 2007 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM at the Republic Bar in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
While Sitemasher has many benefits in design, content management, and maintenance, we will be showing just a few key capabilities at the launch event to highlight just how easy it is to build a website. These capabilities will focus on three key pain points:
- Creating access for others to add content. Allowing marketing or the content owner to take control of the site to add content without relying on a programmer, their internal IT department, or a third party website agency, to add content or make changes to their Web site for them.
- Making design easy without programming through standard tools and workflows. With Sitemasher, because your designer will be able to implement widgets (components that previously needed to be written with code) with standard tools and workflows through drag and drop tools such as: Drag and drop elements (Widgets such as YouTube, Microsoft Virtual Earth) and form creation made easy.
- Mobile site creation made easy without parallel development or testing on mobile devices. Avoid development and testing resources required to make your website compatible with mobile hardware.
