Spelling Power Tool Will Polish Any Web Site's Professional Image
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 8, 1999-- NetMechanic (www.netmechanic.com), a leading web site maintenance
service, has just announced the launch of a new FREE service that will put
an end to embarrassing web site typos. NetMechanic Spell Check is a web
"robot" that will search any web site for mistakes. Users just visit the
NetMechanic web site, type in the URL of a home page and the work is
done. The NetMechanic web "robot" scans the site for spelling errors and
mails out a report of its findings.
"Nothing is more embarrassing than a spelling mistake on a web site.
Web sites are often the 'first impression' of a company and spelling errors
that are simple to correct leave web site visitors with a less than professional
impression of the company," said Tom Dahm, NetMechanic's Chief
Technical Officer.
NetMechanic makes no changes to the web site. Instead, Spell Check
scans the web site line by line, checking even the fine print of the page text.
Even the contents of key HTML tags such as the TITLE tags and ALT tags
and images are carefully scrutinized. Upon completion, Spell Check
produces a report detailing each misspelled word, identified by line number
and accompanied by a list of suggested spellings for each mistaken word.
This process can be done on any size site for up to 200 pages at a time.
Completely Customized
NetMechanic Spell Check recognizes that you may have jargon unique to
your web site. Spell Check is web savvy, understanding common Internet
terms such as "HTML" and "CGI." Software terminology is also no stranger
to NetMechanic. Furthermore, Spell Check even allows you to build your
own custom dictionary and include words that aren't found in a standard
dictionary but may be standard in your industry. This avoids flagging words
other spell checkers would ordinarily tag as misspelled. To create this
custom feature, all you have to do is create a file on your web site containing
a list of words and give the NetMechanic robot the URL for that file.
More about NetMechanic...
NetMechanic's online services are targeted toward webmasters who
outsource their site hosting to an Internet Service Provider or Internet
Presence Provider. Since these users do not have control of the computer
hosting their site, existing desktop or server-based maintenance applications
cannot adequately address their needs. NetMechanic works by monitoring
and testing sites from remote web servers operated by their own service,
allowing easy setup with no software downloads.
NetMechanic provides link testing, HTML validation, graphics
optimization, and server monitoring services including Spell Check, Load
Time Check, Server Check, Link Check, HTML Check, and GIFBot.
These services are free and will test sites of up to 200 pages. NetMechanic
also offers a subscription service, Server Check Pro, that monitors web
servers 7 days a week, 24 hours a day for only ten dollars per month.
Monte Sano Software, LLC, an Internet software development firm
based in Huntsville, Alabama developed NetMechanic. For more information contact
Cindy O'Gorman at (256) 533-0076 ext. 116, pr@netmechanic.com, or visit the
