Trellix

Trellix was a software company whose various software offerings allowed web users to set up personal websites with the use of online publishing tools. Located in Concord, Massachusetts, the company was founded in 1997 and was purchased by Interland (now Web.com) in 2003.

In March, 2004 Interland closed the Trellix subsidiary.

Founded in 1997 by software pioneer Dan Bricklin, Trellix's first product was Trellix, a program designed to allow companies to develop and manage information on corporate intranets. Many users of the program desired to use this same idea to create personal websites. This led to the creation of Trellix Web (codenamed "Brooklyn"), a downloadable, client-based software tool. Trellix offered several versions of Trellix Web software:

The only version of Trellix that was sold to consumers was 2.7 and only the Publish Anywhere (PA) version allowed the user to define the host. Version 2.7PA was not included in bundled software packages and it is the only version of Trellix that can still publish to new sites.

Eventually, Trellix completely abandoned development of "Trellix Web" in favor of "Trellix Web Express", the online software, selling the rights to "Trellix Web" to GlobalSCAPE, Inc. so the product could be sold under the name CuteSITE Builder (CSB). This software was sold as version 3, 4 and 5, but was discontinued June 30, 2006 which ended the line of PC installed Trellix software.

Support for the free and paid versions of the PC software is still available on free support sites and forums.

In 2001, Trellix developed Trellix Web Express, a web-based version of the Trellix Web software, based in part on software purchased from Lycos' Tripod.com division. (This deal was structured such that Tripod, at the time one of the largest homepage providers online, would be the initial licensee of the new product.) Utilizing JavaScript and allowing published changes to be seen in real-time, Trellix Web Express was designed to be easy-to-use without having to download a fairly large client program. Some free Web portals still use Trellix Web Express, although it is often co-branded to remove the Trellix name from the product.

At its peak, Trellix developed the Web Express product in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. However, work on the non-English versions was not profitable and was discontinued after the 3.x release.
