SubHub Lite – Online Content Publishing Made Easy

admin — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 14:00:27 +0000

What it does:
SubHub Lite is a powerful content publishing platform and website builder, which allows you to launch your own professional looking website quickly and easily.

Aimed at people of all abilities, SubHub Lite is easy to use, incredibly flexible and future-proof.

With SubHub Lite you can:

~ Design, build and run a website with no technical skills
~ Add one of our free, professionally designed themes with just a couple of clicks
~ Add and manage pages quickly and easily
~ Drag and drop new functionality (we call them apps) directly onto your web pages

With SubHub Lite all the boring bits are taken care of including hosting (we use the VPS.net cloud), maintenance, monitoring and updates.

The platform is built on Drupal 7, with our own unique admin layer, site builder and other tools, and over the new few months we’ll be releasing stuff back to the awesome Drupal community.

We’re also currently working on our API, ready for the launch of our upcoming app marketplace. We want developers to be able to quickly and easily develop their own apps, which they can either make available to our users for free or charge for.

How it beats the competition:
SubHub Lite has been built around the concept of outstanding ease of use.

So many content management systems / platforms have been built with the assumption that their users will have a certain level of technical expertise. This ignores a lot of people who are clueless about how to install plugins and modules, add design themes and generally customize their site or blog.

SubHub Lite embraces any kind of user and make it as easy for ‘newbies’ to set up and manage a website as it is for the more technically minded.

From our easy to use site builder, to our use of drag and drop ‘apps’ and our simple design palette, we’ve tried to make our platform as intuitive to use as possible.

Mixform – Portfolio Websites for Filmmakers, Actors and Visual Artists

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:30:46 +0000

What it does:
Professionally Designed Portfolios. Great for Actors, Filmmakers, and Visual Artists. Get a free account and create your website, nothing to install.

How it beats the competition:
Mixform uses the freemium business model. The difference between our pricing and everyone else’s is that our baseline service includes the ability to use your own custom domain name. The domain name can be purchased from any number of vendors and readily integrates with Mixform. This sets Mixform legions ahead of anyone else. The only remembrance of Mixform on your site is a small link in the footer, which is hardly noticeable. In fact, most custom designed sites have a similar link in its footer in recognition of the site designer.

Once you get past the initial shock of the ability to host a custom domain for free, Mixform has a great set of tools to quickly build your website. Our Ajax based pages allow you to upload, resize, and crop pictures, edit titles, summaries, biography, projects, albums, and a variety of different event types. The available sections are Home, News, Events, Projects, Videos, Resume, About, and a Contact form that sends mail straight to your email address. You can click and drag the sections around, putting things exactly where you want them. We also have a series of templates to choose from, all of which are professional grade. It’s easy to find one that will match your taste, and can be switched later if you like.
