WebriQ provides a new way to develop websites and manage the content with ease. The dynamic portal engine enables anyone to publish their own website without the technical hurdles. From simple informative Community News websites to complex Multisite or Multilingual E-commerce Business Systems, users can now create and control a powerful online presence in record time. The platform includes a state-of-the-art CSS Template creation and parser tool, capable of integrating any custom design in to the CMS platform.

After its International commercial launch in November 2009, the company is now launching its open source software as a service platform in the Americas under www.webriq.net and www.webriqamericas.com.

WebriQ chose M5 Hosting as its platform of choice because of their Power, Stability and Flexibility. M5 Hosting, www.m5hosting.com specializing in Linux and BSD dedicated servers with customized solutions from a single entry-level server to a complex environment of hundreds of servers configured with custom routing and firewall configurations. “We are excited to be selected as WebriQ's platform of choice. WebriQ's unique position in the market will definitely disrupt the Status Quo with Website Development and Content Management. We are ready for their explosive growth”, said Michael J. McCafferty, CEO of M5 Hosting.

“The three main characteristics of the service platform are: It is easy to use, it always works and it takes the technology out of your way. Now users can create complete robust Web System with easy Back End Integration with full Social Media capabilities rather than just a static website” said Rick McElroy, CEO of River Technologies, Inc. WebriQ's America's Distributor. “Add to that mobility, speed and feature richness of a fully W3C CSS compliant platform and you have met all the demands of a modern software as a service platform. All the data is permanently stored and hosted in a secure environment. Users can back-up and restore on demand. A feature seldom found in current offerings.”

I am thrilled to expand our operation in the North American market, said Philippe Bodart, owner and CEO of WebriQ. With over 1,000 customers in Europe, Austral and Asia, and a few early customers in the USA, we are poised for exponential growth. Our dedicated team of resources focused on the American market along with existing and future US partners will provide the proper support as well as value added services required by the American market.

Until recently the platform was essentially used by webmasters and content managers, but with the introduction of a new highly innovative Template creation tool, the platform becomes extremely appealing to any web developer, web agency, free lance designers or template designer that have a need to integrate custom made CSS designs in to a feature rich CMS system.

WebriQ is also the ideal hosted front-end for Google Business Apps, Zoho Business Apps and all collaborative tools that these providers have in their portfolio. WebriQ's Out of the Box Widgets and Embedded API's further simplify integration tasks. A complete Web 2.0 Front-End for your external customers as well as an Integrated Back End for your internal business applications.
