Pixie

For those of you who don’t know, Pixie is our web application that helps you to create and maintain your own website.

Pixie Installer
I guess you could say its similar to WordPress, except Pixie builds complete websites not just blogs. We have been working on Pixie for quite some time and have always planned to open source the software and today I am pleased to say we have a schedule for its release. So when can you get your hands on it?

Beta testing – 14th April to 25th April:

Those of you who have signed up to the Pixie mailing list will have chance to beta test the software before the official release. The mailing list sign up will close on the 14th April.

Pixie release day – 29th April:

Pixie will launch. As part of the Pixie launch we will be producing 400 CDs that we aim to give away at this years extremely geeky Internet World exhibition at Earls Court, London (its free!). We will also be posting out a number of CDs to people who have helped support the project with code they have written.

One of things we are most proud of with Pixie is its ease of use which is largely due to the interface we have designed. To wet your appetite for the launch we have uploaded some screenshots of the application to Flickr. We are really excited about this release and look forward to your feedback.

    I just can’t wait for it! It’s going to make things much easier with projects, etc. :) I just hope my email has actually gone through to the thingy, I’m always paranoid like this. Thanks, Ed

    Scott could this be useful for a real estate business in terms of controlling properties on a large site – we need something like this to push our business forward – can you explain how the application could work for my type of business. Dennis

    Hi Dennis, It certainly could work for a property site with the right customisation.
