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 ceased to exist after being purchased and dissolved by Interland in 2004.

= Trellix Web Express =

In 2001, Trellix developed Trellix Web Express, a web-based version of the Trellix Web software, based in part on software purchased from Lycos s Tripod.com division. (This deal was structured such that Tripod, at the time one of the largest homepage providers online, would be one of the initial licensees 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. Eventually, Trellix completely abandonned development of Trellix Web in favor of Trellix Web Express, selling the rights to Trellix Web software to GlobalSCAPE, which currently sells the product under the name CuteSITE Builder.

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

Trellix also licensed the rights to Blogger, a popular Blog-development tool, in April of 2001.

In 2003, web hosting company Interland purchased Trellix, completely dissolving the company on March 19th, 2004.
