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.

Big Deals – Live Auctions To Bid Now For Big Deals

Charles — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:07:57 +0000

BigDeal lets users purchase virtual bids $0.75 each which can then be used to bid on goods ranging from video games to high-end televisions. Whenever you bid on an item, its price increases by $0.15 and an extra 30 seconds are tacked on to the duration of the auction. With this model, items end up selling substantially below their market value. But one of the main criticisms of Swoopo was the risk of losing your money spent on bids (regardless of whether you win or not) when the auction concludes. BigDeal takes a couple of steps to mitigate this risk.

With BigDeal’s model, any users who get outbid get a full credit of the money uses for bids to buy the item via a “Buy Item Now” option (which Swoopo also has, called “Swoop-it-now”). So if you spent $10 on bids, your Buy It Now price will be dropped by $10. Of course, the Buy It Now price will frequently be higher than the price of item sold for in the auction but at least users aren’t necessarily losing money all together. And the Buy It Now price is set at the same price that Amazon lists for the same product.

That’s not all. BigDeal provides an added incentive for bids by letting all users trade in the money they spent on bids for gift cards. All users get $1 gift card discount for every $1 spent on bids. So if you buy $25 in bids, BigDeal will give you a $100 gift card for $75.
