  Description     : mysitemaker is a way to quickly create a canned database-driven web-site with a simple view.

Long description:
(straight from the README.html)
  Features:

     * Web based configuration.
     * Automatically generates Search, Results, Add and Edit HTML
       screens.
     * The search screen is very simple, easy to use and does not require
       the user to have any knowledge of SQL.
     * The user can select which columns they want to view or export.
     * Searches can be based on the contents of files that the user can
       upload. For example, the user might have a list of employee
       numbers in a file and, instead of having to run a separate search
       for each number, they can just upload the file that contains the
       numbers.
     * Searches can be refined by allowing searches within result sets.
       This effectively lets users append AND style clauses to their
       searches without complicating the user interface and without
       requiring the user to know SQL.
     * Data can be viewed or exported in a variety of ways:

     * as HTML pages
     * as CSV text files
     * as tab delimited text files
     * as MS-Excel files

     The administrator may specify columns in the database that contain
   only URLs or email address and they will appear in the results screen
   as hyper-links.

     When combined with [13]MySQL Import and [14]MySQL Users, you can
   easily create a new on-line database from a simple spreadsheet in a
   matter of minutes. See the [15]Tool Suite for an example.

     A great way to create a rough sketch of a web interface to a
   database which can then be easily customized to your specific needs.
