Webpop

Posted by nishan.sivathasan on June 21st, 2011

Webpop is a cloud CMS for web designers, agencies and their clients.

Full HTML & CSS Control
Webpop is made for designers with a love for handcrafted HTML and CSS. We believe that our CMS should adopt itself to your design, not the other way around. With Webpop every single line of HTML, CSS or javascript that makes up a website is under your control. No Exceptions.

Simple for Your Client
A tech savvy professional and the typical client of a web agency are two completely different types of users. Webpop separates the UI for a web professional and a client user completely. You get an interface optimized to allow for complete flexibility. Your client gets the simplest possible way to maintain their content and keep their website up to date.

Built-in Analytics
There’s few things as addicting for a site owner as seeing visitors enter, browser and use a website. Webpop comes with integrated real-time analytics that let you and your client follow the life of your site. We’ve taken care to distill down the essential stats you need to keep an eye on so you can get an overview of trends and tendencies at a glance.

Fully Hosted
Webpop has been built from the ground up to run on the Rackspace Cloud and every part of our infrastructure has been designed to be fast, scalable and redundant. No installation, no setup, all your clients in one place and no need to worry about performance, security or uptime. We take care of all the boring stuff so you can focus on building great websites for your clients.

Extensible
Most hosted CMSs will leave you stranded if you need a feature the developers haven’t thought about. Webpop comes with an extension engine that lets you write new tags, routes and filters in server-side javascript.

ZippyKid – Managed WordPress Hosting

Posted by nishan.sivathasan on May 9th, 2011

Focus on Your Content, Not Your Content Management System

ZippyKid provides a premium managed WordPress hosting solution for a-list bloggers, and small businesses that want to focus on their content, instead of their content management system.  We combined our 10 years of hosting industry experience, along with our 15 years of scaling high traffic websites, to offer a solution focused purely on WordPress. By focusing on WordPress only, we can ensure highly trained and qualified support staff, and WordPress optimized server configurations. The level of support you can get for your WordPress site is far superior to any thing available from a generic hosting provider like GoDaddy, 1&1, or even do it yourself solutions like Rackspace Cloud Sites, or Media Temple’s GoGrid.

Our servers are hosted on Rackspace Cloud Servers to ensure speed, security, and scalability that is superior to other providers. Average page load time, a key factor in a customers decision to purchase, and lately, google search engine positions, is reduced by 3X when people switch their websites to the ZippyKid platform.

WordPress hosting plans start at $20/month to $100/month for different levels of web traffic, custom plans are available as well.  All plans come with a world wide content delivery network pre-configured and enabled, utilizing Rackspace Cloud Files with Akamai, or NetDNA.

Vid Luther, the founder of ZippyKid, believes small business owners should be spending more time focusing on building a product and content that people want to buy, not configuring performance caches, or creating deals with content delivery networks. ZippyKid takes the hassle out of managing the security, speed and scalability of WordPress hosting.
