Whether you’re looking to build awareness of your brand or test out a new product, putting together an online promotion or contest can be one of the best ways to draw attention to your company. Unfortunately, as anyone who’s ever dabbled in interactive programming can attest, actually building an online promotion that allows users to upload and vote on their very own content can be harder that it looks. Unless, of course, you’re lucky enough to know about Strutta.
Rather than turning to a custom developer to design your interactive online contest, Strutta allows users to simply sign up online and get started designing a project within minutes. After choosing a rate plan, Strutta’s innovative technology guides you along the process of creating a customized promotion by starting with the simple stuff—finding out what type of contest you’re interested in hosting (video, photo, text, and audio are all supported options) and allowing you to input your own design and voting requirements. Additional options let you add sponsors or judges to the promotion. In the end, Strutta presents you with a finalized product, which can be seamlessly integrated into whichever back-end system you already use.
Depending on the rate plan, Strutta allows you to integrate upgraded options such as custom CSS and HD video, as well. Although customized pricing plans can quickly add up in cost, Strutta also offers a basic version of the application for free, which allows users to try out the platform before investing in a bigger project. Overall, Strutta gives companies a way to create visually pleasing online promotions without the cost of hiring a specialized developer, which is why it is a great option for practically any business owner who’s looking for an effective way to market his or her company to a broad audience.

Thanks for the review!
I’m glad to hear that you like it so much, and see the potential as a promotional tool. We’ve got a bunch of new products we’re about to release that I’m sure you’ll get excited about too.
Just one point of clarification: The company launched in 2007, and the online contest builder launched in January of this year.
Thanks again for checking us out!
