Add Special Features to Your Website: It's Easier than Ever

There are many ways to add interactivity to a web site. Adding photos by using Flickr, videos from Youtube and file sharing from drop.io are just a few examples. Often, adding fancy features to a web site requires hiring a programmer, but the increase of blogs and other simple tools has put the power of web site advancement (at least on a basic level) into the hands of just about everyone.

In this trend is hosted database vendor Caspio, a provider of a do-it-yourself web application database platform. They recently released their new Website Marketing Suite of applications - a set of 5 professionally designed forms/widgets that let non-programmers add marketing applications to their site.

The applications are compatible with any existing website, and a hosted solution means there's no software to download or install. They can be customized and will appear seamlessly as part of your site. The applications include:

Page Ratings - get page ratings and comments/feedback directly from your site visitors.

Newsletter Subscriptions - opt-in signup forms.

Page Forwarding - help users spread the word about your site. CAPTCHA image verification forms help block spamming of your site.

Contact Management - customizable "contact us" form collects leads and stores them in your online database.

News Announcements - keep your website content fresh and relevant with news and special announcements which you can schedule to display on a specific day and automatically disappear when they expire.

Existing Caspio Bridge customers can get the toolbox loaded into their Caspio Bridge account at no additional charge.
