New Web Site Service – DevHub
I saw DevHub mentioned at SitePoint yesterday, so I thought I would sign up and check it out.
I spent about an hour playing with the tools creating two sites. Both are setup as subdomains of devhub.com which is one option or you can point your own domains to the sites being created.
The first site called VanGogh is for me to see what I can build and how well I can really monetize the site. It is really crude at the moment as I have just scratched the surface of the tools capabilities. There are a lot of things I want to figure out, especially how to add some custom HTML, external links, and better control of the built in modules.
The second site called BreastCancer is an attempt to do something more serious. My wife is doing the Toronto breast cancer walk this year, and I wanted to see what the site builder could do to help promote it. Again the site is quite crude at the moment as I spent about 10 minutes on it. The news feed is picking up related articles, and the video module picked up a topical segment. There will be lots more tweaking to come. What are the odds people will find the site? Who knows, but it is worth a try. After 1 day the site reports are showing $0.01 income which along with anything else it and Van Gogh earns until September will be added to my wife’s slowing growing tally.
