SoftIdiom WEBSmith 2 review

WEBSmith 2 is neater than its predecessor and manages to go even further in making easier what can otherwise be a very complex job. It's by no means idiot proof - adding dynamically updateable content management to existing websites isn't for the novice - but WEBSmith does manage the job extremely well, and with surprisingly few complications.

Some prior knowledge of the technicalities involved certainly helps and prevents you trying to achieve the impossible (a little knowledge is a dangerous thing), and there's a comprehensive tutorial that sets the basics in motion and gets you started. But even if all you want is a simple newsfeed you can update each week, the results are well worth the asking price. If you want to do more, WEBSmith can go much further and, in the right hands, you'll find it very hard to beat.
