South African Web Host Adds CM4all Features

South Africa's largest web host, Hetzner (www.hetzner.co.za), has updated web-based applications provider CM4all's (www.cm4all.com) WebsiteCreator Business Edition, adding a brand-new feature set including such features as integrated Amazon and eBay stores, as well as RSS feeds and podcasts.

According to CM4all's Thursday announcement, Hetzner customers also have access to new design templates with photo backgrounds, large image or logo areas, as well as search engine-optimized templates with non-rendered buttons.

Hetzner has been a CM4all partner since 2008 and used the update service to expand the functionality of CM4all WebsiteCreator Business Edition, which already offered corporate multimedia broadcasting, blogging, and Google Analytics SEO tools. It also had the ability to simultaneously publish HTML and W3C accessible pages.

The new feature set helps Hetzner offer a professional site builder to meet the online needs of small and medium-sized businesses.

"We were already impressed with the CM4all WebsiteCreator feature range when we launched the product a year ago," Hetzner managing director Hans Wencke said in a statement. "But we are even more satisfied now that we are benefiting from ongoing seamless product updates and the continuous addition of even more up-to-date features to this product."
