With New System, Web Site Changes, Updates Can Be Made By Non-Tech Office Workers Through Internet Browser
Orlando, Fla. (December 19, 2002)—A UCF Technology Incubator firm is readying a nationwide release of a user-friendly software package it designed to allow small companies to update their Web sites with off-the-shelf computers, dial-up service and non-technical office workers.
DigiBelly, Inc., a software and systems design company headquartered near the university, will release its SiteManager™ Web site management package soon, said Carol Ann Dykes, associate director of the UCF Technology Incubator.
"This is a very exciting development for us, but it's even more exciting for DigiBelly," said Dykes. "SiteManager could rank as the most important software product to be designed in and released from Central Florida," Dykes said.
Eric B. Delisle, chairman and chief executive officer of DigiBelly, said SiteManager offers small companies the opportunity to update their Web sites as often as they choose - even hourly - without the aid of a costly Web developer or Web design company. "Most small companies update their Web sites very infrequently if at all," said Delise, "and that defeats the whole advantage of the Internet. With SiteManager, the company owner or an office worker can update the site quickly, easily and simply, using the office computer or one at home," he said.
SiteManager's technology isn't new, Delise said. "Large corporations that have $50,000 Web sites use technology like this to post corporate news releases, personnel changes, price changes, new products and information quickly and efficiently by non-technical office workers," he said. "Our product is designed for small businesses, at a fraction of the cost larger corporations pay," he said.
Dykes said DigiBelly plans to price its system under $5,000, and a company using SiteManager can have a Web site up and running in as little as 48 hours. "With this software release we are entering a new phase of the commercialization of the Internet," Dykes said.
