On Saturday, INNOPAR, marked the launch of a new web application -- Startup Webworks. Startup Webworks allows users to signup and create a custom website through an automated system process. This is great for small business owners who don't want to spend a fortune developing an online web presence.

The Technology

I developed the main website at startupwebworks.com using ruby on rails. This makes my job so much easier. I was able to use a generator to create the framework and then build upon it with content. The signup.startupwebworks.com I wrote in PHP. The script there interacts and stores information into MySQL. Once an account has been activated a CRON job is run in the background to setup the users account. The process is entirely automated and takes about an hour and half to complete.

Are there any questions?

If you have any questions feel free to leave them here as a comment. I love to hear from you.
