WebAssist has announced SiteAssist Professional, a revamping of the SiteAssist product. It’s designed to let users build entire CSS-based sites, complete with navigation and personal customization to pages, in just minutes.
SiteAssist Professional delivers web standards compliance and web pages, integrated with drop-down navigation for web site creation, publishing, and customization options. In addition to the 16 included layouts, SiteAssist Professional users can use designs created in Eric Meyer’s CSS Sculptor, a WebAssist extension for Adobe Dreamweaver and Microsoft Expression Web, or from their own Dreamweaver templates.
Web developers can also create and customize their pages to include Spry or other JavaScript framework components within the template, while also taking advantage of support for standard Dreamweaver templates, CSS Sculptor layouts, and CSS Menu Writer navigation. All CSS templates within the SiteAssist Professional library are customizable.
The SiteAssist wizard makes site creation point-and-click simple, says WebAssist CEO Hieu Bui. In the wizard, SiteAssist users first select from a variety of industry-specific web site structures including those for clubs or associations, consultants, education, medical professionals, non-profits and real estate. A range of layouts, fonts, color and navigations are available in the second step of the wizard; users can mix-and-match to create unique designs.
Page layouts are assigned in the next step: a complete slate of page types, also known as information architecture wireframes, is included. Entire new branches of the site can be added with the click of a mouse. After the site is created, it can be modified for complete customization directly within Dreamweaver.
SiteAssist Professional is compatible with Dreamweaver CS3 and Dreamweaver 8 on both Mac and Windows platforms. SiteAssist Professional retails for US$199.99, but is available for US$149.99 as a special introductory price until Sept. 9, directly from WebAssist.
