iBuildApp First Company to Offer Free Digital Publishing for the iPad

San Mateo, CA (PRWEB) March 31, 2011

Thanks to the Apple iPad and new tools like iBuildApp.com, digital publishing is easier than ever. Silicon Valley based startup iBuildApp recently added an iPad publishing solution to their suite of iPhone templates designed for the non-coder.

iPad publishing has created new revenue streams for businesses who can publish materials without printing and shipping costs. The iBuildApp iPad solution will be integrated with blogging and CMS platforms for easy publishing.

Create your own iPad magazine, catalog, or book app. iBuildApp solution has templates, is automated, and totally free to create and update. See it here: http://ibuildapp.com/ipad_self_publishing/.

We want people to be part of the trend of digital publishing. Its a great way to build a global audience around your niche without the cost of print. With iBuildApps publishing tool you dont need a developer. Its easy and free to publish your monthly magazines, newsletters, catalogs, or books on the iPad, said Rafael Soultanov.

The solution also delivers a good experience for the reader. We believe that a digital magazine or newspaper should feel like a media app, not like a magazine reader, said Soultanov. When someone swipes from page to page they can choose different stories to read. Images are vivid, video is optimized. If a reader wants to comment or share what theyre reading, they just tap a button.

The fully functional publishing app takes just 2-3 hours to create and publish content. Just copy/paste content into our pre-made templates for the iPad, for free. The iBuildApp iPad solution will be integrated with other CMS platforms such as WordPress, Drupal and Joomla. It simply requires snippets of code from iBuildApp to be inserted into the CMS code.

Services make it less complicated for authors to publish and manage their own publishing (magazines and books). By using a service, publishers can focus on their content and leave the formatting, publishing and distribution to iBuildapp. Unlike other services iBuildApp Self-Publishing Solution provides authors with a free online editor, free formatting and design templates and integrated publishing for iPad and Web.

iBuildApp believes in the power of ideas and the creativity of the crowd. Our automated self-publishing solution lets creators of all kinds from individuals to enterprises make and monetize content on iPad. iBuildapp lets content owners quickly create and publish their content on iPad with ability to monetize the content.

Open Source Content Management Systems Offer Wider Range of Functionality for Horton Group Clients

Nashville, Tenn. (PRWEB) July 04, 2012

Open source refers to software that it is distributed freely and additionally offers access to the products design – essentially opening the source code to collaboration and further ingenuity from outside developers. Horton has taken note of the growing popularity of this type of web development software and has embraced open source CMS as valuable resources for offering clients better marketing and advertising tools.

A community of developers working together to add more utility into a content management system leads to the creation of invaluable tools for businesses and organizations seeking to build a better online presence. On top of providing clients with a means to manage their own content Horton Group also gives clients access to website management tools that are constantly improving. Open source software allows websites the potential to always change and evolve along with a growing library of programming technology.

The majority of Horton Group websites are developed on Drupal, one of the most popular CMS platforms available. With one of the largest and most dedicated online development communities, a few of the websites built on Drupal include big brands like Twitter and Nike. Even the website for The Whitehouse – the executive branch of the United States government – is built on the Drupal platform. Horton Group also uses WordPress as one of their main development platforms because of its simplicity and user friendly interface. Horton Group believes the employment of basic but innovative open source CMS helps clients keep content fresh and relevant – websites become less static and more interactive.

A recent article posted to business2community.com states that more businesses will increasingly begin to adopt open source content management software because of the multiple benefits it offers. However, Horton Group prefers the use of open source content management systems for more reasons than their widespread popularity. Open source software is great because it allows us to offer a variety of options, but also promotes a strong knit development community that in the end will ultimately benefit the client, notes Horton Group Lead Developer Matt Smith. Most open source content management systems like Drupal are free, which allow us to pass bigger savings onto our customers. This gives us the capability to offer clients more diverse programming options at lower costs.

About Horton Group

Since its beginnings in 1996, designing and developing functional websites that provide customers with access to tools they can use to easily update and change content has been a core part of Horton Group’s mission. Over the past 16 years of operation however Horton Group has branched out to include a greater depth of services such as search engine optimization and social media management. For those looking to strengthen brands and reach a wider audience they also provide media buying, email and mobile marketing services.

For more information on Horton Group and their web development services, contact them either by phone at 615-292-8642 or by email at info(at)Hortongroup(dot)com.
