annie Posted May 25, 2004 Posted May 25, 2004 I found this on a website: <!--Web Designer -- Aaron B. Case -- Jan 2000 --> And when I checked, I found several more websites on the same IP address with that line and the same site structure. I'm just wondering if it's some kind of software? The website is brand new, so the line with the date is obviously from something that's way older than the site. Oh, and this is from a valueweb site. I noticed that they had a deal where they'd design a website for 199. Maybe that's what this is? A bunch of templates with some choices, and then they just shuffle the content on to that? Makes me think I should do something like that, maybe start a company with a friend or something... Quote
annie Posted May 25, 2004 Author Posted May 25, 2004 Now I found another such line: <!--Web Designer -- Steven Mayton 2000 --> The site looks like it's database driven. This is an example of the structure: pages/1/page1.html?refresh=1073407207598 And this one: <!--Web Designer -- Lynwood H. Moore Jr. -- 06212001 --> So far all the sites have been on valueweb or netsol Quote
Madmanmcp Posted May 25, 2004 Posted May 25, 2004 Places like Valueweb give you web creation "software" with your hosting package and thats what you are seeing. Those are just comment lines that are thrown in using the name the user supplied. I think I saw 'Creatit" as a web page program on the Valueweb homepage. Some folks just want a quick and easy homepage. Quote
annie Posted May 25, 2004 Author Posted May 25, 2004 I'll have a look at that. BUT, I'm starting to think it's a matter of them creating the sites for the customers. 199 for 3 pages. They're using a template based thingy, but probably custom create the graphics used for the frame set. The underlying pages are nothing special, but some of the frame sets are pretty good. Quote
annie Posted May 25, 2004 Author Posted May 25, 2004 Hmmm, is it possible that the webdesign deals they offer uses that same software you mentioned? Quote
Madmanmcp Posted May 25, 2004 Posted May 25, 2004 Hmmm, is it possible that the webdesign deals they offer uses that same software you mentioned? Yes. The hosting company just wants to make it easy for the customer to get up and running with a web page so they offer free software for them to use. What happens is you find a lot of sites that look the same on that hosting companies sites. Quote
annie Posted May 25, 2004 Author Posted May 25, 2004 In other words, it would be hard to spot the difference between a site made by valueweb, and a site made by the customer using the supplied software Quote
