Sitemasher is a SaaS-based (Software-as-a-Service) platform that streamlines the lifecycle of building, managing, and optimizing sophisticated websites, transcending traditional methods that involve complex coding and integration of disparate components.

The Vancouver-based start-up company is one of 14 exclusive software companies selected for the Innovation Showcase at Software 2008 , April 29-30 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. "The Innovation Showcase is the stage on which the most exciting companies can present their solutions to a top-tier audience of industry leaders," said an organizer with Software 2008.

If the comments of a Sitemasher early adopter are any indicator, response to the pre-release in Las Vegas should be smashing. Robert Salmon, chief executive officer of Independent Consulting Solutions in Bermuda, was effusive with praise.

"Sitemasher is new, outside the box and delivers a multi-tier solution: business, technical, and operational," Salmon said. "Business owners can take full control of their website's design and content completely and with more ease than ever before."

Salmon said he highly recommends Sitemasher to business stakeholders who don't want to call a developer every time they want a simple change to their website.

"Anthem Capital is delighted to be a lead investor in Sitemasher," Carlson said. "Sitemasher's web development tool is a quantum leap toward simplifying the website development process."
