"The Internet’s Small Business Solution Center"
WebNow.com™ Puts the Web to Work for Small Business
Launch of new Internet service provides for free what other businesses pay thousands of dollars for
KIHEI, MAUI, HAWAII - March 1, 1999- WebNow.com™ announced today the launch of the first on-line service to offer free web development and hosting services designed to easily put the power of the Internet in the hands of small business.
"WebNow.com creates solutions for small business," states company founder and president Joe Gleason. "Companies realize they need a web presence, but don’t think they have the time, resources or skills to effectively take advantage of the Internet. We remove those barriers and put our members in complete control of their on-line success. In just a few minutes, a business can build their own site that is the center of personalized customer communication."
Based on extensive market research, WebNow.com is aimed at the fast-growing small business market- professionals working independently and those companies with less than 100 employees.
WebNow.com™’s do-it-yourself tools help businesses create a powerful website online in a short amount of time. The point-and-click templates are easy to use with no experience needed. New users log on to create a unique member ID, choose an industry and style, and a template appears packed with text and photos specific to that line of business. Members can change the look of the site at any time by choosing from several unique backgrounds, extensive photo galleries, graphical elements and adding their own text, photos and custom pages. There is no obligation for the free package- no payment information or intrusive questions are asked. Technical support is available on-line via e-mail response, and live support is available by calling an 800 number help line from 8am to 7pm Pacific Standard Time.
Assemble a Free Professional Website In Minutes- WebNow.com™ provides a complete e-business starter package at no charge, including site building utilities, hosting, matching e-mail, search engine promotion and marketing assistance. The free site pages include products, calendar, links, e-cards, employees, FAQ, services, referrals, news groups and tips. Members are allowed to make unlimited changes to any of the pages, including changing the page name, fonts and adding their own photos or graphics. The business websites that are created can be promoted for free on the Internet’s six most powerful search engines.
Maintain Control of Your Web Site- WebNow.com point and click templates are easy to use with no experience needed. Members build the site themselves, and can make changes at anytime for free, saving thousands of dollars over paying a web designer for these services. WebNow.com sites contain no unwanted advertising and will remain free of charge for as long as they remain hosted through WebNow.com™. As the "host" WebNow.com™ maintains the technical aspects of each new Starter Website Package at no charge.
Stay on the Internet Cutting Edge of Technology- The WebNow.com™ host site undergoes site upgrades every month to continually present the latest options and tools for its members. Current enhanced services include e-commerce solutions, custom domain hosting, custom pages and more. With the phenomenal growth of Internet service, having the latest tools is essential to remain competitive.
Once WebNow.com ™ clients become successful on their free site and are ready to incorporate more options, they can upgrade with a choice of site enhancements. Popular upgrades include custom domain name hosting, custom graphic uploads, custom pages and productivity tools. Premium services are free for 30 days. If the client chooses not to purchase the premium services after the trial period, only the pay options will be turned off, and the remaining free site will remain without any interruption of service. Upgrade packages range in price from $9.95 to $24.95 per month.
WebNow.com™ operates offices in Hawaii and Michigan and additional hosting centers in Washington State and New Jersey. Having several hosting sites throughout the U.S. allows WebNow.com to provide fast server connections to its customers.
