Another easy website builder launched

Specialist web hosting company Hetzner launched its easy-to-use website builder yesterday, Thursday, 14 February 2008. This is yet a third South African offering in this category, following in the footsteps of Vinny Lingham's Synthasite and ThisArmy's Tank.

“Having a website is no longer a nice-to-have. Websites are essential business tools for all types of organizations. For small business owners and entrepreneurs, creating a website for the first time can be complex and intimidating. Hetzner's SiteBuilder removes all these barriers, empowering small business owners to create professional websites that can effectively market their services,” says Hans Wencke, Hetzner's MD.

“We decided to offer the SiteBuilder as a way of addressing a perceived gap in the market – namely small businesses that are unable to afford the costs associated with a professional web designer. By bundling the SiteBuilder with our existing product packages, we believe that we're assisting small businesses with an easy-to-use tool that can extend their offering, giving them a competitive edge in their market,” adds Wencke.

Available with all web hosting packages, customers can create a website from scratch in a few simple steps via an intuitive, wizard-style interface – no previous knowledge of web design is required. The SiteBuilder tool offers WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editing capabilities. Customers can also choose from 200 professionally designed templates and customise them according to their corporate branding. Features such as Flash introductions, a blog, forums and image galleries can be added to the website at any time.
