EasyCGI Premieres Talking Avatars

SitePal Talking Avatars are customizable, talking characters that can be adapted from a library of characters or created from photographs. When added to Web sites, Talking Avatars are proven to help convert sales at higher rates than conventional online sales formats because they engage visitors with characters that interact with them. Talking Avatars can provide knowledgeable sales or customer support information, or direct visitors to other, specific areas on the web site.

The Avatar’s eyes follow on-screen mouse movements and the lips synchronize realistically with speech. Voices can be generated automatically, or users can have their scripts read by voice professionals in a variety of styles, accents and languages.

SitePal’s Talking Avatar is just one of many tools that Easy CGI makes available to its customers to improve the functionality and performance of their Web sites.

Ted Beckwith, Vice President of Easy CGI offered, ”Our Advanced shared-hosting plans are designed to give our customers easy-to-use tools to build a successful online presence. SitePal’s easy-to-use interface and easy integration with an existing web site means our clients have one more, hassle-free way to drive more online traffic and sales.”

Oddcast, which provides SitePal Avatar by subscription, is equally excited to be offering its product through Easy CGI.

Shawn Holt, Vice President, SitePal Business Development offered, ”Yes, we’re very excited to partner with Easy CGI,” says “SitePal is the only web-based avatar platform in the world that focuses on driving business results, while Easy CGI has a great history of bringing their customers the most innovative and effective web tools on the market. Our collaboration is a definite win-win-win - for us, for Easy CGI and for their customers. We look forward to seeing Easy CGI customers personalizing their web sites and driving more sales using SitePal’s speaking characters.”

The SitePal Avatar, a speaking character platform from Oddcast, is a powerful personalization and conversion tool that is easy to understand and use. SitePal enables small and medium-sized businesses to rapidly customize and deploy virtual salespeople or customer service reps to their web sites - producing immediate increases in traffic, site stickiness and conversions.
