Webvanta is Live! A Great Solution for Rich Content Sites

Posted 26 November 2008

After an amazing year of effort, I’m thrilled to report that the Webvanta beta is now live! Sign up for a free trial on the site and let me know what you think.

Webvanta is a hosted platform that enables anyone to build content-rich, database-backed web sites with all the cool Web 2.0 features, without programming. We think of it as content management system + KnowledgeBase + community.

If you want to build a site that communicates your knowledge about a particular topic and fosters a community of interest, we believe Webvanta is the best solution available.

We’ve found our initial traction with information portal sites, but you can build nearly any type of site using the platform. In the coming months, we’ll be expanding the features to enable more drag-and-drop design, as well as even richer KnowledgeBase features, e-commerce capabilities, and more.

Looking for Custom Projects

Webvanta is self-service, and you can do everything yourself, within the limits of the platform. But we’re also looking for custom site creation work that builds upon the platform.

We’ve found that with our experience in building sites, we can greatly accelerate a company’s time-to-market by helping them think through the structure of their KnowledgeBase. And because we are intimately familiar with the platform and have lots of experience building sites with it, we can implement custom designs very quickly. We can also develop custom extensions to provide features that aren’t available to self-service customers.
