GetResponse's Grabowski

GetResponse has introduced Landing Page Creator 2.0, a tool that is designed to allow its users at small and medium-size businesses to save agency fees by creating landing pages themselves.

Offering more than 100 pre-designed landing page templates, users of the program can design landing pages in less than 10 minutes with no help from IT, claims GetResponse, whose new release also includes email, newsletter, and auto-responder features.

Templates can be customized with a drag-and-drop editing system that accesses video and image banks. Mobile-responsive designs can be automatically programmed, and up to 10 versions of landing pages can be created for A/B testing.

“SMBs now have everything they need rolled into one platform for drip marketing campaigns--lead nurturing, marketing automation, landing page creation, and blog and social media integration,” says Get Response CEO Simon Grabowski.

Depending on usage volume, SMBs can lease the program for between $15 and $50 per month.

Business Breaking News: Parallels Access 2.0: Remote Desktop App Comes to iPhone, Android

Parallels Access was already a good option for iPad users who wanted to remotely access their desktop Mac or PC. Now, with the release of Parallels Access 2.0, the app is available for iPhone, as well as Android smartphones and tablets. The revamped app retains all the functionality of the original iPad version, but expands the list of compatible devices.

Like any good remote desktop app, Parallels Access acts as a direct portal back to your desktop workstation, allowing you to access your work computer from your smartphone or tablet. To get it to work, you must install the app on your mobile device, and install an agent program on your desktop computer.

Parallels Access stands out from other remote desktop apps by including the option to "applify" your desktop programs. Once your mobile device is linked with your computer, you'll be able to select and launch full programs like Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop or other desktop programs on your phone or tablet as if they were mobile apps, without launching the full remote desktop environment.
