Are My Sites Up? Free online service

January 7th, 2009 - Website Tools - 3 Comments

Aremysitesup.com is a free online service that does exactly as the title says. Monitors, for free, your sites indicating if they’re online or not. You can also receive SMS updates with the status of your websites available from what i can see in the US, UK, Germany, Austria, Canada and France. Nice little app but i’d love to see an Air application for the system tray giving me information without having to login on the website. Excellent little thing though.

To small/medium scale website designers: How many times per week do you have to create a basic site file structure? You know, create the image directory, the javascript directory, download or copy & paste the framework in it, create the css directory, place the framework of your choice, reset file or whatever etc etc etc.

Well Project Deploy will help you with this. Through a wizard, you can choose the basic structure of your new site. Choose the doc-type of your (x)html files, create (if needed) the css directory and place a reset css file, use or not the jquery framework and create the basic directory structure. Great little app!
