The HandsomeWeb Blog

Our Simple Open Source WebPage management system passed another milestone. SourceForge recorded download number 3,600 recently. SOS Webpages is the fun and easy way to manage a website. It is an open source website management system developed by HandsomeWeb. The goal of the project is to produce a system that is intuitive for users without any knowledge or desire to learn about coding, image resizing, code compliance, browser compatibility, etc. It is an easy to use content management system.

Tinkering with this application I developed is what I do for fun. There are plenty of people using the software to manage their websites, with a big following in the Netherlands (It translates to Dutch with one click.). If you are handy in English and another language and would like to do the translation for me, let me know. Note: This is an open source project, and I am not looking to pay someone to do this.

I launched a new website for Independent Labs, a drug-testing company in Bremmling, Colorado.  The site is a HandsomeWeb built with SOS Webpages.  Sites built with the HandsomeWeb plan cost as low as $249 for the design and can be easily maintained by a novice.  Why? because they are built with SOS Webpages the Simple Open Source Webpage Management System.

I released SOS Webpages 1.1.6 yestday.  A much better photo gallery is included now.  Also, Sourceforge is reporting over 2,750 downloads of SOS Webpages.  That doesn’t mean there are that many sites running the software, but a Google search shows plenty when I search for “Powered by SOS Webpages” in quotes.

Just launched a site for the Northeast Texas Film commission.  It uses SOS Webpages and several custom modules for a great photo gallery, a password-protected membership area and a Flash of North Texas sites.
