agree  eesegura: Yes, I would use: Beta version. This is common IT wording and lets the users know that there may be changes to the software before the final version is released. (Actually, there may be more changes even after the 'final' version! ;oD )

disagree  dcaralo: I am not so sure if Beta applies only to software programs or also apply to websites.Trial period is more for license programs which allow a little period of free use before buying license. Between "beta" and "trial" i'd better choose "beta"
