(Webhosting.info)Design wizard Integrated with Fotolia and SitePal applications to help users enhance websites.

Parallels, a virtualization and automation software company, today announced a new release of its Plesk Sitebuilder website-building software which it claims helps service providers attract and retain customers with new features that enhance websites created using the software’s intuitive step-by-step design wizard and WYSIWYG editor.

The company states that Plesk Sitebuilder 4.2 integrates the Fotolia online micro-priced image marketplace into the software’s WYSIWYG editor, allowing users to browse and buy photos directly from the Fotolia gallery without leaving the wizard. The software also includes a new design module featuring SitePal speaking avatar technology by Oddcast. SitePal enables users to deploy animated, talking characters on any website.

“Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder 4.2 takes website creation to a whole new level with innovative features that are tightly integrated into the software to improve ease of use,” said Serguei Beloussov, CEO of Parallels. “The new version of Parallels website creation software demonstrates our commitment to delivering open solutions based on the Parallels Open Platform to help service providers add value to their offerings.”
