FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - April 07, 2001
WebAvail Productions Releases Portal Software Package

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. - April 07, 2001 -- After a year and a half of development and testing, WebAvail Productions, http://www.webavail.com, has unveiled Aleza Portal, a link indexing software package that enables Webmasters to create customized Yahoo-like portal sites. Designed for ease of use, Aleza Portal requires little or no ASP experience and is fully customizable to a site's existing look and feel.

Company founder Arthur Puszynski, 21, developed the software while working on an earlier site. "I wanted a portal site, but I didn't know where to find one," he explains. "So I picked up a book and did it myself." Eighteen months later, Puszynski was ready to offer Aleza Portal to other
Webmasters.

The software allows site owners to categorize links, or "resources," into hundreds of specific categories. Site visitors can then personalize the resources they view, vote for and review resources, and e-mail their favorite resources to friends.

A unique feature of Aleza Portal is its link preview functionality, which provides thumbnail previews of resources. "Rather than opening a linked site in a new window, Aleza Portal gives the Webmaster the option of creating a sort of resource gallery," Puszynski says. "It's an easy way for a design firm to showcase a portfolio, for example."

Aleza Portal supports most popular e-mail components and offers a range of e-mail features, including e-mail list and template managers, mass mailer functionality and a newsletter interface. The software also includes threaded reviews, statistics and advanced searching.

Aleza Portal is uploaded to a user's server in a few minutes. System requirements include ASP support (Windows NT or 2000) and an e-mail component on the host machine.
