Zoho Corporation, the acclaimed cloud-based software solutionprovider, last week unveiled a do-it-yourself website builder, ZohoSites, which will help people with no knowledge of coding build andrun professional-looking websites. Targeted at small and medium businesses looking to expand theironline presence, Zoho Sites makes website creation a simpleexercise of dragging and dropping various elements, forms andwidgets in an interface no more complex than a word processor. Design templates Users can pick a look and feel for their website from a collectionof design templates and also integrate elements like YouTube,Google Apps, Google Maps, Google+, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr andPicasa. The new service, developed by Zoho's software team at itsdevelopment facility in Chennai, comes in two iterations: the freeedition includes two websites, with each containing two forms, oneblog and unlimited pages. The professional edition, priced at $39 ayear (roughly Rs. 2,120), includes six websites, with eachcontaining 10 forms, one blog and unlimited pages. Dynamic content In an interaction with The Hindu , Hyther Nizam, vice-president, Product Management, Zoho, said ZohoSites had some key differentiators in the way it leveraged itsstrengths from a pool of already popular services such as CRM(customer relations manager), Creator (for forms) and Apps."For us, it [Zoho Sites] completes the missing piece of thejigsaw any business would require," Mr. Nizam said. "Wealready offer other important services that any small and mediumbusiness would require out of an IT department." Websites constructed with Zoho Sites come with a mobile deviceoptimisation (something that Google Sites does not offer), and withoptions for dynamic content creation through its Zoho Creatordatabase. That essentially rules out the need to make changes tothe static webpages. Zoho is also expected to add a ‘campaigns' plugin soon toZoho Sites. While the free websites created with Zoho Sites will beautomatically hosted as sub-domain under zoho asusername.zohosites.com, there is also the option for users to hostthe site on their own domain. Zoho also offers users, through atie-up with GoDaddy, to get their domain address registered. Zoho, a division of Zoho Corporation (previously AdventNet), hasbeen one of the pioneers of cloud-based collaborative applications.Their office suite has received acclaim from internationalagencies, some of which have rated it even better than Google Apps. Zoho Sites has already hit it off. Renowned technology blogTechCrunch has given it a positive review in an article last weektitled: "Watch out Google, Zoho just launched a better DIYwebsite builder." Zoho has more than five million customers and has offices inCalifornia, Austin, New Jersey, Singapore, Tokyo and Beijing, apartfrom Chennai. Mr. Nizam said the bulk of Zoho's small and medium businesscustomers were in the U.S. and Europe, and the company hoped tobreak through further in Indian markets with Zoho Sites."With Zoho Sites, several Indian small businesses will beable to make their entry into online space. We are counting onthat." To learn more about Zoho Sites or create a free site, log on tosites/.
