New software to simplify website management

A Christchurch company has developed a software programme to make it easier for website owners to manage their sites without any special skills.

The programme, called SmartAlec, can be used for new or existing websites and has been developed by Wired Internet Group, a Christchurch based developer of internet related software.

SmartAlec allows businesses to manage their website information through an administration area that is available any time through the internet.

It comes with a content manager so website pages can be added, deleted or amended in real time through a word processor-like interface.

A built-in newsletter function allows frequent communication with groups of newsletter subscribers, encouraging further visits to the website.
