"We've been hearing so much positive feedback from teachers leveraging SynthaSite to show their students how to build a Web site. We wanted to offer education professionals more tools to not only make their jobs a little easier, but also help students and parents better prepare for the year ahead," said Vinny Lingham, CEO of SynthaSite.

SynthaSite is happy to serve as a free tool to augment their commendable efforts, ease parent/teacher communications and help prepare students for a successful school year."

SynthaSite's free Web site builder allows anyone to create and publish a free Web site with ease. SynthaSite's drag and drop technology enables users to easily incorporate a variety of widgets including Flickr streams, YouTube videos, Google Gadgets and many more. Its recently enhanced user interface has streamlined the process for signing up, increased the creation space and simplified key functions such as the saving and publishing process to make Web site building even easier and more intuitive.

What Everyday Users Are Saying
"I'm having a blast playing with my new webpage. This is too darn fun. I am using it for my new school year, come August, so until then, I get to fine tune, change, and try out a user-friendly webpage. I showed my trial and errors thus far to my existing class of 8th graders. They anxiously want to create their own too. Thanks for making this available!" said Ann Taylor from Victorville, California, http://anntaylor.synthasite.com/.
