The MeasurementMedia Division of Temperatures.com, Inc., a leading provider of measurement-related websites, has expanded MeasurementDevices.com into three new web sites to broaden the scope, yet focus on specialty areas in online industry & science measurement news &directories of information resources.

The forerunner site, MeasurementDevices.com (http://www.MeasurementDevices.com) has been building its resource directories for nearly three years and its news archives of daily news stories for the past two years. It became evident that there was too much information on the site and the split added three additional websites.

Left in place was searchable news archive of new product and company news. The requirement to register to submit PR or news was dropped, however, new vendor directory submissions still need a no-charge registration.

(PRWEB) October 28, 2007 — Measurement Databases (MeasurementDB.com) indexes available databases and measurement resources including R&D news stories. It features free R&D news publishing; registered users may also contribute resource links on specific measurement device technologies and related resources such as technical calculators, conversion aids, materials properties and more.

(Note to PR and Engineering Staffs – Don’t hide your white papers, online tools and technology tutorials in the depths of your seldom visited web pages waiting to be discovered. Post them on MeasurementDB.com and see them highlighted on their front page plus indexed in their free, browsable & searchable database!)

MeasurementMedia (MeasurementMedia.com) focuses on cataloging and making available information on Meetings related to industry and science measurements, publications and technical societies, standards and education & training resources.

Organizations may post their Calls for Papers (CFPs) and special news on this site also at no cost and with no requirement to register. Registration is free and gives one the ability to submit related, permanent resource information, such as a new journal or training organization or details of a newly published standard.

MeasurementBlog.com is a special weblog (blog) site for sharing thoughts and comments, including respectful rants on measurement in Industry & Science, and new technologies of interest in all aspects of measurement including education. It is very open and user-friendly, based on popular WordPress blogging software.

Some recent post have included videos on graphing calculators, a tutorial on mirror ray-tracing and the use of social media in science education. All are invited to have a look and feel free to comment or submit. No cost, no obligation, just sharing, the way the Web was intended!

About MeasurementMedia Division

MeasurementMedia was formed in 2006 as the web publishing division within Temperatures.com, Inc. to focus on creation of user-friendly, educational and news reporting websites dealing with the many aspects of technology, practices and resources of measurement in Industry & Science.

Its role is to take the lessons learned from the initial websites in the group (see below) and expand them to all types of measurement-related areas in Industry & Science.

Temperatures.com’s founder had purchased the web addresses for MeasurementDevices.com back in 1998 when it became apparent that the Web was going to be the next big thing. The site lay dormant for several years and was given a boost in 2004 and has grown dramatically.

About Temperatures.com, Inc.

Temperatures.com, Inc., initially begun as a consulting operation with a website, http://www.temperatures.com in 2001, quickly became a web information resource on temperature and humidity sensors and their uses. It developed three websites related to the subjects with both education, industry and news functions.

Besides the original website, the top ranked site on most Internet Search Engines, they also operate:

TempSensor.net, a user-friendly site with free, searchable self-service directories of sensor vendors and online technology resources. The latter are selected from submitted tutorials, white papers and online articles where they can help improve user competence in selecting and using sensors.

TempSensorNEWS.com and TemperatureSensorNEWS.com (the same site) was resurrected from the past depths of Temperatures.com, where it began as an eNewsletter.

Now it has taken over the news-only function from TempSensor.net and is also unique, in that any news source, a company, a technical society or even a hobbiest who knows of a news-worthy event related to temperature and humidity sensors may submit a story without need for registration or prior approval. All submissions are reviewed and are subject to edit and rejection.

Womans-Health.Net Announces Launch of Unique Online Resource Focusing on Women"s Health Issues few Other Sites Address

Pensacola, FL (PRWEB) January 25, 2006

After spending years suffering from a variety of female related disorders and experimenting with various remedies and therapies, Sandra Clair, a 38 year old researcher, started Womans-Health.Net to share her extensive research with other women.

Women today know that they have difficult health challenges facing them that their predecessors didnt have to deal with. I have made it my goal to address these challenges through this website, Clair says.

Additionally, Clair says her objective is to offer informative holistic information that tackles difficult problems facing womens health today.

Too often, websites aimed at women focus exclusively on beauty, fitness and weight loss. And while these topics are important and we try to cover them as well, women today also want answers to serious questions about their sexual health, breast health, reproductive health and even about the health of men in their lives, says Clair.

This is what makes Womans-Health.Net unique because we offer valuable advice on a full range of issues that matter most to women.

Moreover, WHN offers an enormous amount of expert information on a range of topics including yoga, breast cancer, osteoporosis, and herbal remedies in its sizable network of sites.

Although a new site, WHN is growing rapidly with the addition of articles almost daily and the influx of web visitors anxious to acquire information on health topics which few sites deal with.

A womans health Blog (http://www.womans-health.net/wordpress/) is updated regularly, where women are encouraged to share their health experiences, find support and give advice.

Furthermore, the site offers a weekly Womans Health Newsletter (http://www.womans-health.net/womans-health-newsletter.htm) that visitors can sign up for, which Clair says is crammed with practical and proven health information on nutrition, weight management, herbal remedies, and physical fitness tips that are designed to improve the quality of life for women.

While a proficient writer herself, Clair pens a number of articles on the site but emphasizes that the articles at Womans-Health.Net are written by women for women, which she says is a part of her overall aim to make WHN a unique place on the web.

Clair encourages women to visit the site, read, submit articles and contribute to the health Blog, which she says would be a tremendous opportunity to connect with — and share with — other women.

Womans-Health.Net Announces Launch of Unique Online Resource Focusing on Women"s Health Issues few Other Sites Address

Mojo Supreme Relaunches on New Platform, Makes WatchMojo.com"s 4,000 Original, Proprietary Video Clips Fully Embeddable on All Sites

Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) August 23, 2007

It was a matter of time, really. Eighteen months after launching with five original video clips on January 23, 2006, http://www.WatchMojo.com relaunched this week on a new design, user interface and content management system. Today, the site boasts 4,000 original video clips and its syndication network reaches over 95% of the Web’s video viewing audiences.

In addition to improving the user experience and implementing a more robust content management system (CMS), the relaunch accelerates WatchMojo.com’s viral marketing and distribution efforts considerably.

A unit of Mojo Supreme, WatchMojo.com is one of the biggest producers, publishers and syndicators of video content — with video clips ranging from 1 to 3 minutes — on topics such as Automotive, Business, Comedy, Education, Fashion, Film, Food, Lifestyle, Health, Music, Parenting, Politics, Space & Science, Sports, Technology, Travel and Video Games.

Mojo Supreme is a digital media, technology and services company that indexes, aggregates and produces content in the form of videos, Top 10 lists, contests, blog entries and search results (under the MetaMojo.com brand).

The relaunched site is powered by the Typo3 CMS and for its new video platform, WatchMojo.com partnered up with Blip.tv, a video sharing site that has won critical acclaim in the episodic content niche of web video to provide its users with the ability to share videos online. Blip.tv is essentially a next-generation television network aimed at providing services for the top independent content creators on the Web. In addition to its public services at Blip.tv, the company also offers private label technology solutions for traditional media companies who want to integrate its network’s content into their existing platforms. Customers include Turner Broadcasting and Conde Nast.

“Blip.tv has provided content creators with a world-class technology platform and infrastructure, it has also been on the cutting edge of online marketing tools and products that allow a producer’s content to be published and distributed seamlessly throughout the various outlets that make video content visible online,” explains Mojo Supreme president Ashkan Karbasfrooshan.

“WatchMojo.com is an amazing example of how far video content on the Web has evolved: it’s eclectic, it’s professional, it’s advertiser-friendly and it’s terrifically entertaining,” states http://www.Blip.tv COO Dina Kaplan.

WatchMojo.com has leveraged its free and high-quality programming to build one of the largest syndication networks of any online or offline video content company with relationships with YouTube, Joost, Blinkx, Roo Media, GoFish, Canoe, MySpace, Yahoo! Video, AOL Videos, Voxant’s TheNewsRoom, Azureus’ Vuze, Revver, Veoh, LiveVideo, Critical Mention’s Clip Syndicate and many more, reaching well over 95% of the world wide web’s video watching audience.

“Corporate partnerships are one thing; we needed to ensure that our users could publish our content where they wanted to, after all, consumers account for 2/3 of activity in the American economy,” jokes Karbasfrooshan. Until this relaunch, WatchMojo.com did not provide users with the ability to copy and embed its videos on other sites, be it personal blogs, news or media sites.

“While YouTube popularized the sharing and embedding features that are commonplace today, the fact of the matter is that these features remain popular with file sharing services that don’t own the underlying rights, such as YouTube, Veoh, Revver, DailyMotion, Break and others. Most content owners are still not very comfortable with making their content available on any site,” adds Karbasfrooshan.

Indeed, CBS precludes embedding to selected sites, NBC/News Corp.’s joint venture plans to make its content embeddable, but the site itself has yet to launch, so it remains to be seen to what extent users can run with the content and put it where they wish.

“When we launched in January 2006, we were uncertain of what route we’d take to grow and finance the company. YouTube had yet to make the embedding feature a no-brainer. We were unsure of how media companies and VCs would react if we opened up our content to allow for embedding … so we played it safe initially and disabled the option.

“Throughout 2006, we built one of the more eclectic, timeless and advertiser-friendly libraries of web video content around. In 2007, we ramped-up our syndication business by partnering up with some of the leading consumer distribution properties online who allow embedding. At that point, it simply became illogical to allow video embedding off of our distribution partner sites and not our own site,” concedes Karbasfrooshan, stating that, “we’ve built an insurmountable lead in video production; this move just makes our high-quality, informative and entertaining content more ubiquitous online and creates more viral marketing opportunities.”

In addition to Blip.tv, Mojo Supreme has partnered with other best of breed partners in its relaunch: its CMS is built on the industry-leading open source Typo3 software and the BloggerMojo.com blog network — consisting of 18 blogs — will continue to be powered by WordPress.

Additional features include:

Mojo Supreme’s complete database of content is now tagged to create a far better and easier user navigation experience.
Users can now bookmark content to social bookmarking services Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Delicio.us, Slashdot.org, Furl, Fark, NewsVine, Blogmarks and many more.
WatchMojo.com’s video player size has increased from the 340×190 size to 480×270 but remains in the widescreen, anamorphic 16×9 format. Last week it was rumoured that industry leader YouTube would be adopting this format, too.
Cross publishing of all content on Mojo Supreme on all content pages.
Feedburner’s services are now implemented across all blogs.

“We’re applying the upside of social media to proprietary content to create a compelling service to users and advertisers,” concludes Karbasfrooshan.

As the company continues to publish for the Web and build up its Internet syndication network, it has also begun to syndicate its content in the high-growth out-of-home digital network market and signed some deals to push its content onto television, which at $ 75B is a far larger advertising market than the web video advertising sector. Estimates for online video advertising market by 2011 have ranged anywhere from $ 4.3B according to eMarketer to $ 10B by Understanding & Solutions.

Tumblr Grows Through Users" Shared Interests. Tumblr theme Sites Like The Layout Shop Looking Forward to More Business.

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) February 29, 2012

According to comScore’s Digital Future in Focus 2012 report, Tumblr comes in at only second to Facebook among social networking sites in terms of user engagement. This means users spend more time on Tumblr compared to other social networking sites outside of Facebook. It’s quickly becoming clear that it represents the future of blogging and social networking.

This development is especially promising for sites that offer products and services exclusively for Tumblr, like The LayoutShop.

Easy personalization, the best Tumblr themes, and the feed integration have spawned a developing trend in social networking where shared interests are the determining factor.

This momentum towards the interest graph is supported by comScore, stating that “networking around shared interests takes the main stage.” Social networking is becoming more about shared common interests rather than the individual users and their themes on Tumblr.

This, in part, may be a reaction to the many security and privacy issues that have continued to plague Facebook. Sharing on Tumblr can be done anonymously and the service requires no personal information other than an e-mail address.

This can also be attributed to Tumblr’s incredibly easy sharing, customization and layout shop features that are akin to blogging sites like Blogger and WordPress.

Tumblr’s use of a “feed” and blogging platform, creates a hub for users looking to share and re-share their interests instead of themselves online. Users “follow” other Tumbler blogs (or Tumblogs) that they like, and that blog’s most recent posts are displayed on the Tumblr feed.

This is the same system that Twitter uses, except Tumblr allows for more multimedia posts over regular text posts like on Twitter. Another of the sites most prominent features is the use of Tumblr themes that give your Tumblog a distinct look, effectively making it a personal website.

This process is made extremely easy for casual users, as knowledge in HTML or CSS coding is unnecessary in maintaining your Tumblog.

All these elements combined has given Tumblr, and similar sites like Pinterest, a distinct and unexpected edge over much larger competition like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.

New trends are starting to emerge in internet social behavior. One in which the network’s connecting nodes are no longer represented by the individual users, but by those same users’ common “likes” and personalities.

The future of social networking is decidedly becoming a world of shared interests, and Tumblr is at the forefront of this new digital surge.

comScore is an internet marketing research company that provides marketing data and services to many large internet businesses. conScore tracks all internet data studying internet behavior, including social media.

WordPress Remains the Preferred Blog CMS despite Recent Malware Attacks, Maintains Blogging-oriented Sites

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 02, 2012

The latest episode of attack from Internet villains involved the spreading of malware to vulnerable WordPress sites with the intention of spreading an information-stealing botnet agent. Despite this issue, many bloggers and web designers still agree that WordPress is the blog content management system (CMS) of choice. Startingablog.com continues to endorse it albeit the recent negative association with the popular yet lately beleaguered CMS.

You should use WordPress to make your website or blog, Startingablog.com advises. It accounts for over 25% of new websites on the internet and the majority of self-hosted blogs. WordPress is an open source CMS, which has endeared itself to many a blogger and web developer for its ease of use. As of the middle of 2011, about 15 million websites all over the Internet were powered by WordPress. It started out as a blogging platform, but nowadays, its so flexible and adaptable that it can be used for any kind of site.

The security issue that has just plagued some WordPress sites can be attributed to the site owners themselves. Once upon a time, any security breach could be blamed on the platform itself, but in cases of hacked sites nowadays, the fault is with the administrator or the owner. These days, systems and platforms are so user-friendly that anybody can learn to start and maintain a blog or website. For this reason, it is of the utmost importance that beginners learn from trustworthy sites and correct tutorials. With sources that do not bother to include the minute details, site owners and bloggers manage to create vulnerabilities without intending to. Many professional web designers agree that WordPress remains to be better than the rest of the content management systems even after this recent attack.

Those who want to learn how to make a blog will find many sources commending WordPress for being simple to use. Tom Jones of Startingablog.com states, WordPress is great because it allows you to make a blog without having to write any code or do any technical geeky work. Basically it is a click and install system. That is something that many non-techies will find relieving. Plus WordPress is free, Jones adds to the statement, citing another important quality of WordPress that many blogging beginners will find comforting. The Startingablog.com team does what it can to educate its users on WordPress, frequently updating its blog to issue more tips or report on news regarding changes or upgrades.

The general consensus gleaned from blogging in-the-knows is that WordPress is still presently the preferred CMS. To make sure that site security is not compromised, those learning how to create a blog should get their guidelines from trusted sources.

Hosting a Whiteboard Video: New Guide to Successful Video Hosting Sites Announced by Ydraw

Saint George, UT (PRWEB) July 04, 2012

Hosting a Whiteboard Video

What is the best place for hosting a whiteboard video? Today, there are so many different options, so lets take a look at a few of them. YouTube, Vimeo, Ydraw, Amazon S3, Brightcove and Vzarr are some of the leading whiteboard video hosting sites. What is the best option?

When deciding where to host a whiteboard video, there are specific questions to take into account:

What is the whiteboard video’s goal?

Will everyone be able to see it?

Is it a company video only?

Is it going to be private or public?

Once those questions are answered, the rest falls into place quite easily. Here are some video outlet pros and cons, for readers to develop their own opinion on what company will most successfully host a video.

1. YouTube

Pro: YouTube is great for someone looking to get a video out on the internet quickly. It is also easy to embed a YouTube video on a wordpress account. YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world, and has insane amounts of traffic. It is extremely hard for a video to go viral if it is not accessible through YouTube. Take a look at the “Dollar Shave Club Video”, his business started on YouTube, and amazingly enough, Ydraw’s first job came from a YouTube video! It works!

Con: YouTube is owned by Google, they want as much traffic on their sites as possible. If a Youtube video is embedded on a wordpress site, this will often times drive traffic away from a site to YouTube.

2. Vimeo Pro

Pro: “Vimeo” is free but “Vimeo Pro” is not. Vimeo is a lot like YouTube, but it gives users an ability to customize the embedding on a video. A logo can be placed on a video, a company can change the colors, use autoplay settings, and view statistics. Vimeo also has a lot higher range of video quality than YouTube.

Con: Vimeo videos take a little bit longer to load than YouTube videos, but Vimeo has so much potential, and some great things should be expected from them over the next couple of years.

3. Amazon S3

Pro: Amazon S3 is for users who want to have more control over their videos. It is very cheap, and the load speeds are decent. If looking to host many videos, this might be a great option.

Con: Amazon S3 is a little more complicated. Ydraw has tried Amazon S3 for Ydraw videos, but felt like it was not worth it. Other options are better for videos to be out on the market.

4. Brightcove and Vzarr

Pro: Brightcove and Vzarr are great places for hosting a whiteboard video, and they have some great features. Ydraw has never used their services so they cannot be recommended, but only good things have been heard.

Con: They are not free.

5. Ydraw

Pro: If a user decides they want a custom-made video, they are more than welcome to use Ydraw’s platform. Ydraw hosting comes with all types of customized features and statistics. Ydraw offers an amazing video hosting platform that is perfect for marketing, sharing, and collaborating. Ydraw does a lot of testing to see how their videos are performing, and their system is awesome.

Con: It costs money.

WP-Membership Version 1.0 Plugin Plus Bundled Hosting Creates Complete Membership Sites

The End of Security Threats For WordPress Sites?

Fishkill, New York (Vocus) October 27, 2009

SecureLive LLC, a New York and Ohio based website security company recently launched SecurePress Pro, a patent-pending WordPress Security plug-in (widget) that installs an automated security shield into your WordPress site. But dont let the word plug-in throw you; the product is a full-blown WordPress security application. This plug-in (widget) enables the owner to physically see the hacker activity and also records vital hacker information through its slick dashboard. SecurePress Pro also boasts an 18-point user defined alerting system to keep you informed of all attack types and bots. There is even a SecurePress Free WordPress security version, although, it has some of the Pro features turned off.

WordPress powers major news sites, personal and business blog sites, e-Commerce sites – you name it. Just in January 2009 alone, 393,836 people signed up as new WordPress users accounting for another 372,519 new blogs. One would assume with this many users and the ongoing hacking attacks there would be a plethora of WordPress security applications. That is just not the case. There arent very many anti hacking plugins for WordPress to chose from at all. The current listing is comprised of isolated plug-ins that addresses a single security issue. Even if you install them all, you would still be vulnerable to attacks, even when combined they cannot cover every security hole. There is a better way.

With the introduction of SecurePress Pro, WordPress owners now have a clear choice in website protection. No more piece-meal security patches and plugins. The Free SecurePress widget installs enough features to get you started towards securing your site. The ability to see and record your attacks is an excellent starting point. The reports and statistics available in the dashboard help you to better understand the level and magnitude of these attacks. The free price tag is another good reason to download immediately and get started. After familiarizing yourself with the dashboard, you may want to upgrade to the full version to enable the vast blocking capabilities of SecurePress pro.

Here is a quick rundown on a handful of features in the Free version: (1) Map -plots the hacker on a global map using geo-tracking. The map can be drilled down to street level to reveal the approximate origination of the attack, (2) 2 Charts plot attacks by type used and country of origin, (3) Calendar Live calendar that records hacking attempts according to days/months/years complete with historical data, (4) Alerts -18 levels of user defined hacking alerts via email or SMS, plus a lot more. There are many more tools built into the dashboard, making it a must have security tool for any serious developer and WordPress owner. (See the SecurePress video)

SecurePress Pro puts more security control in the hands of the user than any other WordPress security tool explains Fred Sarhadi, marketing director for SecureLive LLC. We want people to download the Free version and experience the power of its tracking and alerting system. Once they have physically seen the hacker and attack activity on their own site for themselves, they will want to upgrade to the Pro version. The Pro version will turn on the blocking protection and remove the intruders and also block new ones from gaining access. This model works for us and it really works for the user.

The Free plug-in has extensive hacker visibility and tracking data, but does not include the advanced blocking features of the paid (Pro) version. The Free version lets you SEE and RECORD the hidden hackers trail in your site. Upgrading to the Pro version unleashes its blocking power. Blocking removes hackers and blocks them from gaining access. The developers hope to impress the WordPress community with this Free plug-in and hope users will want to upgrade. In either case, this application allows owners to see their own hacker activity, which up until now has been hidden. Power to the user!

Installing SecurePress Pro is probably the smartest thing a WordPress owner can do for their website. They will be alerted instantly of any hacking attempts and will also be able to automatically block and automatically report the attackers to the authorities (available with the Plus). This well thought out system will eventually reduce and eliminate repeat offenders from your site. Plenty of reasons to install this Free plug-in today and take the first step in safeguarding your data, files, hard work and reputation.

About the product:

SecurePress Pro WordPress security incorporates Software Bots, Artificial Intelligence Technology, Complete Covert Data Acquisition, Existing Global Hacking Knowledge-base, Live Human Intervention, SMART Real-Time Diagnostics and Automation to pack three separate systems into one for a complete rounded solution to today’s security threats against WordPress installations; blocking, alerting and agency reporting.

WP Twin Safeguards Wordpress Sites Against Hackers

Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) November 6, 2010

Undeniably WordPress has become a platform of choice for any kind of online presence from simple blogs to complex membership sites and commercial portals WordPress based sites are everywhere.

The main reasons for using WordPress as a platform for web development is, because of its flexibility, multitude of available plugins, customizable themes, and of course, the preferential treatment by the search engines.

But here lies the danger. This flexibility comes with a price — WordPress based sites are an easy prey for even intermediate level hackers. The cases of blogs being hacked are becoming too commonplace.

Not to mention the risk of rendering your site entirely unusable by attempting to install some poorly tested 3rd party plugins — a problem well too familiar to almost every WP user.

Unfortunately the only 100% sure-fire way to safeguard against increasing hacking attacks and “Oops, I broke it!” user blunders is always to have a recent backup of your site.

That is why it’s so important to back up the entire wordpress site on a regular basis.

But in reality, very few users do that.

The reason is simple: Backing up a WordPress site with all the content, or a blog with hundreds of comments, is not an easy or enjoyable task users are looking toward.

Likewise, restoring a damaged WordPress site is far from being a trivial matter for a casual user.

The fatal flaw of the most tools available until now is they are either difficult to use, do the job only partially — only backup the user database, ignoring the custom created content — or don’t provide 100% exact backup restoration.

Until now there was no solution that can backup a WordPress blog in an easy “hands off” way, powerful enough for the professionals, and simple enough for casual users.

Last month, the situation has changed.

Wilson Mattos and Jason Fladlien have released a groundbreaking new to tool called WP Twin WordPress Cloner that creates foolproof backups of the entire WordPress site with just a click of a button.

The main application of the tool is to clone existing WordPress blog installations and speed up the set up of blogs by deploying cloned templates. However there is a surprising benefit to cloning sites:

During the process of cloning an exact replica of the existing site is created, packed into a neat archive, downloaded and safely stored on the local hard drive — thus creating a perfect backup.

“Unlike the other tools,” says Wilson Mattos, the programmer behind the software, “WP Twin backup includes all system files, all user created folders, comments, links, all the plug-ins, and all plug-in settings — WP Twin backs up all of it!”

Restoration is as trivial as uploading the archive, running a script and pressing a button. In a few seconds your site is up and running as it was before. The process is simple and fast.

Most importantly, the unique advantage of WP Twin, unlike all other solutions, is that it is not a plugin — WP Twin is implemented as a simple external script.

The specific reason for this is maximum safety.

If the worst comes to worst, and the WordPress installation gets hacked so badly that the user cannot login into the dashboard to deploy the backup, the plugin may not be able to help. The external tool always will.

“Yes, there are other tools for backing up WordPress. Some are slightly cheaper, some are even free,” says Jason Fladlien, “But what matters at the end of the day is, are you completely secure that the backup solution you think you have right now will restore your site exactly the way it was in case of fatal emergency? If you believe it will, then go ahead, delete your entire site and restore it from the backupThen tell me how it went. Do you feel confident enough about your backup to do this?”

With that, Jason Fladlien proceeds to make a dramatic demonstration of WP Twin unparalleled backup safety:

In real time, Jason deletes a live WordPress based membership site with hundreds of users and comments. He confidently erases every single file from the server and immediately restores the entire site just a few minutes later.

“If you are not 100% secure that you can do this with the current backup tool you use — then your backup is not a backup — it’s a joke!” adds Jason. “Because it doesn’t give you what the real backup is supposed to give you — a reassurance and a peace of mind that your sites are safe and secure, and can be restored exactly like they were before without any additional work and wasting any more of your time.”

Hosted CMS Enables Web Designers to Build Dynamic, Database-Driven Web Sites Without Programming

Sebastopol, CA (PRWEB) April 12, 2010

Webvanta, the powerful Software as a Service CMS that enables web designers to easily and quickly build hosted dynamic websites, today announced the release of version 2.0 of the Webvanta platform, which gives designers even more control and flexibilty to design and manage sophisticated, database-driven websites without needing a programmer. Webvanta 2.0 provides more power and flexibility than other hosted CMS solutions, which typically do not support custom databases or structured content. It is an easier-to-use alternative to systems such as Drupal, Joomla!, and Expression Engine, which typically require much more time to complete a site, and it is more powerful and easier to customize than WordPress.

“Since releasing version 1.0 of Webvanta last September, we’ve been listening attentively to the designers who have been using it. As a result of this feedback, we’ve rewritten the administrative interface to make it even more efficient for designers and site owners,” said Michael Slater, Webvanta CEO and co-founder. “Webvanta allows designers who don’t want to deal with PHP and SQL to create database-driven sites without needing help from programmers. Designers using Webvanta tell us that it enables them to provide a CMS for even their most cost-sensitive clients, and that these sites deliver oustanding SEO.”

The Webvanta Solution

Webvanta is a SaaS (software-as-a-service)-based solution designed to empower designers to deliver better business results for themselves and their clients. Designers can use whatever tools they want to create their page designs, and then integrate their HTML, CSS, and JS code into the Webvanta system to construct the site. There’s no limitations on the design of their pages, and no complicated theming system to deal with – setting up any arbitrary design is easy. Easy-to-use CMS features include a full blog system, photo galleries, calendars, RSS feeds, and a membership system, as well as fully customizable database-driven content.

Webvanta makes it easy for clients to make updates on their own, enabling site owners to keep their sites fresh while keeping their costs down and preserving the integrity of their sites’ design.

Webvanta’s hosted CMS eliminates all the hassles of software updates, security risks, backups and systems administration, so designers can focus on design while being assured of reliability.

Designer Louis Plante commented, “I had no trouble learning Webvanta, since it leveraged everything I already knew. I dropped in my front-end code and was building customized, content-rich sites in far less time than with any other CMS I had used. I’ve saved clients up to 70% in total costs.”

Availability

Webvanta 2.0 is available now. Pricing starts at as little as $ 15 monthly for use of the CMS and database system, site hosting, monitoring, and support.

About Webvanta

Founded in 2007 by CEO Michael Slater and CTO Christopher Haupt, two former Adobe executives, Webvanta is at the forefront of the SaaS/web design revolution for business websites. Webvanta’s mission is to provide a radically different type of CMS that marries a powerful back-end system with an easy-to-use hosted service, optimized for the needs of the design community. Every day Webvanta designers are expanding their business, sharing information, and building the next phase of the Web.
