NetForAll (www.netforall.com), a Utah-based, privately-owned company that provides fast solutions for publishing on the web, has released Web Site Robot, a tool with which users with average computer skills will be able to create web sites or online stores without any web design experience whatsoever. The robot hosts the web site on the local PC using a broadband connection to the Internet, so that there is no need for a web hosting company. With the web robot, which is quite similar to the web browser in the way information is exchanged between the local computer and the Internet, anyone with elementary computer skills can copy files such as image, sound, video, or text, to a specific folder on the local PC, and have the robot update the web site in minutes.
Poly Street, CEO of NetForAll, stated that up till now there wasn’t a simple and convenient way to put pictures, drawings, charts, recipes, computer code, and more that may be useful to others, on the web without taking a web design class. She is positive that things will change dramatically with the Web Site Robot and the rapid expansion of broadband technology. The Robot may be used for an online store, photo album, art gallery, music catalogue, education, small business as well as a personal web site.
