SoftSite v1.1 is a perl script that allows easy creation and management of shareware or freeware directories on Windows or Linux. It is multi-browser compatible and requires minimal effort.
This version of SoftSite is incredibly flexible and generic, making it suitable for use by virtually anyone. It is highly customizable via a small CSS file, which eliminates repetitive editing. Additionally, SoftSite v1.1 includes support for various software platforms and licenses, an 'awards' section, and a 'news' section.
The software is even more multi-browser compatible now thanks to CSS, which allows for mouseovers, custom cursors, IE scrollbars, form backgrounds, and other cool features. The online demo intentionally looks "tacky" to show you how extensively SoftSite v1.1 can be customized, but you can customize it any way you like.
SoftSite v1.1 was designed to be both feature-rich and user-friendly. Visitors can rate programs, write and submit their own software reviews, report dead links, participate in polls and contribute articles to the weekly newsletter. The admin page features a built-in newsletter / banner manager that makes it easy to send out newsletters to multiple recipients and manage advertising banners.
The script also includes a powerful search engine with indexing and advanced search capabilities. SoftSite v1.1 can be used alone or as an addition to any existing website looking for high traffic or product branding. Each of the 564 HTML pages used by the script contains unique, binominal and trinominal keywords for maximum traffic generation.
Overall, SoftSite v1.1 is a highly customizable and feature-rich software that is suitable for virtually anyone looking to set up and manage a directory of shareware or freeware files.
