What is Easy Database for Websites?

Managing databases and spreadsheets can confuse and overwhelm almost anyone. Easy Database for Websites can help streamline your information and clear up the confusion.

Easy Database for Websites has two functions. First, it lets you use JavaScript widgets to let users view, search, or enter information in to your tables of data. Second, it helps you manage and synchronize spreadsheets through a Web-based interface and spreadsheets on your computer using the Excel® 2007 Add-in.

Easy Database for Websites helps you organize and maintain any type of data you could store in a table or display in a grid: menus, rosters, inventories, schedules, etc. You can manage this data, publish it on your website, and keep it current.

How it Works

You create data tables containing your information — think of these like tables in spreadsheets. After creating your data tables, Easy Database for Websites provides JavaScript widgets for you to embed onto your website. Once you've successfully published your website containing the widget, any updates sent to your account also update your website.

Easy Database for Websites stores all of your data tables on our servers, which means you can access them anywhere with an Internet connection, and, using the Excel Add-in, ensure you are working with the most recent version of your data table, even if your computer has an out-dated spreadsheet file.
