This new release has a much simpler design, is more friendly than ever, and is a stepping stone to a really exciting series of updates coming over the month's ahead.
What is soeasily all about, and who would use it?
Well, our mission is serious. Very serious.
We don't like finding websites which are out-of-date. They send a shiver down our spine, and we have to prod ourselves to make sure we are still alive, and not in some ghastly time warp.
So, what to do? Well, we had been tinkering with computers and this web stuff for a while, and finding it all so irksome and generally unpleasant, then ... suddenly on went the light bulb ... a thought dashed through the better side of our collective brains, (almost lost to drowsiness):

Why don't we set about to make things easier, and lift the yokes of HTML and CSS from the shoulders of mankind?Well, here we are - we started down the road, and as we take this journey we are inviting friendly folk to join us, and perhaps together - with your ideas and input, we can get all those websites updated soeasily er... .com.
Any ideas to improve soeasily are always welcome - see our contact us page.
Who would use soeasily's simple web content editor?
Well, we think it's a great tool for web designers to use. Your client wants a page on their website that they can easily update themselves. Er... well we could use a CMS? Perhaps Joomla comes to mind, or we could embed a blog? But, it doesn't feel right, it definitely feels like overkill!!! You need something simple, that you can transparently add in seconds to the page, and forget all about it. Period. Well then, soeasily can help with that. Yep, that's what we had in mind for this first release... Here's how:
- You sign up an account at soeasily.com, create a site name (just like when you create a blogger account in fact...) and enter your customer's email address.
- Then, just add your first content block using our powerful, yet quick, easy to understand, WYSIWYG, Word-like (much better than Blogger's editor) snazzy web editor tool.
- Save it.
- Copy the Javascript code we give you for that content block.
- Paste it into your web page - preferably where you want the content to appear - save your web page and upload it back to your webspace.
- Job done. Hand your customer the keys to their soeasily account, and there you have it.
This is the first step, there's lots more to come, and we are willing to hear from you at any time.

What does soeasily cost?
soeasily is free of charge. We will be adding a Pro edition shortly which will enable you to host images and files in the 'cloud' and available at the 'edge' of the internet - which means your content will be fast to download from anywhere in the world and be copied onto many servers worldwide - meaning it's almost impossible for it to go offline! Anyway, that's for another post...
