SnapPages introduces website creation for the rest of us.

AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire - September 23, 2008) - When you think of Web site design you think of complicated costly projects. SnapPages, an online Web site creation tool for the rest of us, launched last week at the TechCrunch50 conference in San Francisco. SnapPages was one of a select group of companies chosen to demonstrate its product in the TechCrunch50 demo pit showcasing innovative Web technology. SnapPages is an easy to use online tool which allows the average person to create great looking Web sites with drag-and-drop ease.

The TechCrunch50 conference generated a number of favorable reviews for SnapPages. In one such article written by TechCrunch, titled "SnapPages, A Basic Webpage Designer That Apple Should Envy (Or Buy)," the author Jason Kincaid is quoted as saying "SnapPages is a gorgeously designed service... The site offers a number of customizable templates, allowing users to specify colors and the placement of columns, text boxes, and widgets..."

SnapPages removes the pains associated with creating a Web site. SnapPages provides best-practice design guidelines which frees the user to create content without worrying about programming. The result is a professional Web site tailored to the wants and needs of the user. SnapPages Web site themes are designed in house by an award winning professional designer.

Steve Testone who founded SnapPages in 2007 says, "Your Web site is the front door to your company. You wouldn't pile up a bunch of junk outside your front door and expect people to still want to come in. That's why it's crucial to have a Web site that looks great so that it represents you well. SnapPages helps you create Web sites that make a great first impression that will give you a competitive edge."

SnapPages offers a limited free version for creating small personal Web sites and a premium version for creating full blown Web sites for only $50 per year. This is cheaper than it costs to simply get Web site hosting alone. SnapPages provides free Web site hosting. SnapPages premium version allows you to point a domain name that you have registered somewhere else directly to your SnapPages Web site so that it shows up seamlessly.
