- Fullerton, CA -- WEB-2000, Inc. announced the release of WebPage Wizard
- today with the claim that now anyone can create Web Pages on the Internet
- and have set up their own Web Site in 10 minutes.
-
- To demonstrate the simplicity of WebPage Wizard, a diskette was given to
- a 13 year old 8th grade student and to a 60 year old grandmother. Neither
- of the two had any familiarity with web pages although the student had
- used the Internet and the grandmother had used America Online for e-mail.
-
- WebPage Wizard is a new release from WEB-2000, Inc., which describes itself
- as an Internet Facilitator. WEB-2000, Inc. provides web site hosting as
- well as producing custom Internet and Intranet solutions for both large
- and small companies. WebPage Wizard is the latest product release by the
- company to meet the need for individuals and small businesses to set up and
- maintain their own Web Sites without having to know any programming language
- or have any special training.
-
- How did the testers do?
-
- The student took about 10 minutes to get her Web Site created through the
- on-line setup feature and then spent about 30 minutes creating a Home Page
- and a linked page for a site that features songs lyrics of Weird Al Yankovich.
-
- The grandmother took a little longer to get the Web Site set up. She spent
- 15 minutes after deciding to start over and use a different name for her
- web site. She then created a Home Page for family history with a link for
- future pages to be about each branch of the family. This took her about
- 30 minutes and used standard images for bullets and decorative lines.
-
- H. Rudy Nesmith, President of WEB-2000, Inc. when announcing the results of
- the test stated the purpose of the product: "WebPage Wizard is meant to
- provide a simple way for anyone to set up a Web Site with pages that they
- create and can change, add to, or remove anytime they want. ItÆs not meant
- to be a highly technical HTML editor, but it allows people to do a lot more
- than the simplistic web page products that step you through a fixed form
- and then output a page that you have no control over."
-
- WebPage Wizard is available as a free download from the WEB-2000 site
- at http://www.web2000.com and is being released as Shareware to participating
- Bulletin Board Services, CD-ROM Distributors, and Shareware Vendors under
- the guidelines of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).
