DigitalTown, Inc. announced the launch of SmartWebtm, a comprehensive approach for making the consumer-facing web intuitive, secure and personalized. The initial launch includes the domain extensions .CITY, .MENU and .BIBLE with many more pending. The initiative marries next-generation descriptive domain extensions to cloud-hosted content management platforms that are specific to each domain extension. The resulting network of websites are connected by DigitalTown's single-sign-on SmartWallettm. The introduction of the new descriptive domain extensions represents an opportunity to create a better consumer experience. The DigitalTown SmartWeb initiative aims to greatly expand the adoption of the new domain extensions through bundling of turn-key websites that combine intuitive web applications, and mobile applications, with a unified single-sign-on for secure access to personalized services. The .CITY domain extension will serve as the core of the SmartWeb experience for Smart Cities, providing each city with a destination portal where residents and visitors can search, connect and transact locally. DigitalTown currently now owns and operates more than 22,000 .CITY domains which are currently being rolled out around the world, in partnership with municipalities, destination marketing organizations, chambers of commerce, and private development partners. DigitalTown has partnered with the domain registry .MENU to create a cloud-hosted application that allows restaurants to be online in minutes powered by Smart.Menu sites that integrate table booking and online ordering across web and mobile. The single-sign-on Smart Wallet personalizes the experience based on location, time of day, language, and dietary preference, and lets restaurant patrons order and pay right from any web-enabled device or SmartPhone. DigitalTown will exhibit the new Smart.Menu service at the National Restaurant Association conference in May 2017 in Chicago and is partnering with State Restaurant Trade Associations and local Destination Marketing Organizations across the US to introduce the Smart.Menu platform to restaurants of all sizes.
