Our friends at Synthasite launched in beta this morning, and I’ve in reviewing Synthasite Web publishing tools for the last hour. I’m extremely impressed with what they’ve been able to put together. Synthasite has come a long way since its tech preview earlier this year, at that point a lot of the initial functionality was there, but it wasn’t a simplified and elegant a solution as it is today.

I’ve reviewed Synthasite in the spirit of testing it out, have published my thoughts here using my Synthasite powered Voodoo Ventures site. Here are a few brief thoughts from my review:

• Uploading images is simple as can be.
• The site management functionality and brain dead simple publishing tool solves what has been the biggest problem for me with quickly putting up simple websites.
• The site management has been simplified since the alpha preview.
• It’s easy to create pages, drag-and-drop widgets, text blocks or whatever else you want to pull into the page.

I encourage you to head over to my Synthasite powered site for the full review.

Congrats to Vinny and his team for getting Synthasite launched. As I mentioned in the review, what impresses me most is that Synthasite is ready to be used by and provide value to anyone who wants to publish a website. The ability to download a zip file of the site you create and upload it to your own server means you can start using Synthasite for free today to create a high quality website.

Disclosure: The Flatsourcing team has worked with Synthasite to create the exterior pages of the site. We are very fortunate to be involved with this project. While the Synthasite team has done the heavy lifting with the creation of the Synthasite IDE, we’re pleased to be able to provide support and programming for the Synthasite.com portal. I’ll be sharing more in the coming weeks about our involvement, and the continuing expansion of Flatsourcing. Anybody looking for high quality, high value web programming and design, please let us know.
