In keeping with Synthasite’s explosive Alpha launch, we decided to coincide the launch of our Beta with Guy Fawkes Day (5th of November)! Since the Alpha launch, we’ve been inundated with both end user & partner enquiries, and we thank everyone for all their feedback and support! We signed up over 6,000 users in less than 2 months and we’re now moving into a very exciting growth phase of the business, and we will be focused on a number of things in the Beta, including achieving some measure of scalability, as well as what you’ve all been waiting for…
So, what are the top 3 major features that will be released in the Beta?
1) The ability to publish your Synthasite created website on a subdomain of Synthasite.com (xyz.synthasite.com) with free hosting
2) You will be able to download your website, and host it on your own domain and server (and edit the PHP code if you so choose)
3) Multiple website templates for use in publishing
What’s after Beta?
We have a great roadmap ahead, but our focus is to release the Beta, which is a major milestone, with the core architecture that will allow us to quickly add new features in the weeks and months that follow! Thanks again to everyone for their support!

This is exciting and it looks amazing. What’s the next evil cartoon character server name going to be? I’d like to put a vote in for Gargamel or Asriel or both.

Vinny, I think he means desktop app. Perhaps you should point him to Top 20 Reasons why Web Apps are Superior to Desktop Apps

Thanks Ian - good point. Stefano - as Ian pointed out, we don’t believe in Desktop applications anymore

Sorry Ian, not talking about a desktop app. I’m talking about something similar to Wordpress & Movable Type. A downloadable version to install on your own domain.
I was specifically referring to the following pointer:
“2) You will be able to download your website, and host it on your own domain and server (and edit the PHP code if you so choose)”

Ahh, I see. What I meant was that, after the website is built, you can edit and change it. We are not going the Wordpress model and allow Synthasite to be installed on one’s own server - but instead allowing the websites to be published externally. There are numerous reasons for this, some of which relate to our business model.
