"The Internet’s Small Business Solution Center"
New Record! 1000 Businesses Create a Web Site in 24 Hours through WebNow.com
Strategic Alliance with New England Business Service boosts membership in WebNow.com
KIHEI, MAUI, HAWAII- September 7, 1999. WebNow.com, the Internet’s small business solution center, announced today that over 1000 companies logged on to build a free business website in one 24 hour period this week. Since the launch in March, 1999, WebNow.com has created the technology and infrastructure that has allowed many thousands of businesses to create a free business website online in just a few minutes. The recent surge in new members building sites with WebNow.com tools is due in part to a direct mailing by NEBS (New England Business Service), a strategic alliance partner of WebNow.com. WebNow.com created an alliance with NEBS, a leader in business supplies and forms in May, 1999. NEBS presents WebNow.com Internet services under their own brand name (www.NebsNow.com) as a service for their two million small business customers.
"WebNow is the perfect complement to the products and services we offer our small business customers," said Joel Hughes, Vice President of Corporate Channel Marketing at NEBS. "WebNow identified a need for our customers to have an Internet business presence, and our customers are rapidly responding."
The NEBS free do-it-yourself Starter Website Package includes a home page, links page, calendar page, business card bulletin board (eCards) and matching email. An exclusive point-and-click interface, galleries of graphic elements and editable text fields make it easy for anyone to create a professional, graphic-rich website, customized to their business, in minutes. Customers can edit their site at will. WebNow.com hosts and maintains each site.
The small business websites that are created will contain no unwanted advertising and will remain free for as long as they remain hosted through WebNow.com.
Customers can upgrade their websites with a choice of site enhancements and add-on products. Among these are additional web pages, custom domain name hosting, custom graphic uploads and productivity tools that allow the user to automate communication, create online presentations and more. Upgrade packages range in price from $9.95 to $24.95 per month.
NEBS designs, produces and distributes business forms, checks and related printed products and distributes packaging, warehouse supplies, retail merchandising supplies, software and related products through mail order, telesales, direct sales, dealers and the Internet to over 2 million small businesses throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and France.
