spellr.us Rebrands to CheckDog
spellr.us - the 18 month old website content integrity platform - today at the TechCrunch Disrupt San Francisco conference announced a rebrand of their product to “CheckDog”.
Kevin Garber, founder of CheckDog explains that the platform outgrew the name, “We initially developed spellr.us as a simple website spell check tool. However over the last 18 months the platform has evolved into a robust content check platform that includes functionality such as broken image, broken link, and broken file download detection in addition to the sophisticated ranked spell checked functionality. The spellr.us name locked the platform into a specific limited perception in the marketplace.”
Garber also explained that the .us domain has fallen out of favour and sometimes created confusion.
“CheckDog more accurately represents the platform as a product that assists editorial teams and web editors with multiple elements of their web content. There are extremely few tools available to web editorial teams relative to the amount of content that is published daily. We aim to continue to develop CheckDog to effectively fill this gap.”
There will be no changes to the pricing plans.
