Webvanta raises funds to help designers build complex websites
Webvanta, a startup that allows a web designer to build a site without needing any programming, has raised about $1 million in a first round of funding. That combines $500,000 in new money (coming from a group of angels from the North Bay Angels group) with converted debt. The Sebastapol, Calif. company compares itself to blog- and website-building tools like WordPress and Drupal, but says Webvanta allows you to create much more data-rich sites.
