TelephonyWorld.com Launches Third Generation Telecom Site with Enhanced B2B Tools for Telecom Suppliers and Buyers

In early 1998 the company launched TelephonyWorld.com the premier B2B marketplace on the web for the ever expanding telecommunication and voice & data industry. At that time, success was driven by useful content, easy navigation and delivering usable tools in one place without sending visitors all over the web via lists of links. Today, according to the small New Jersey firm, these key elements of web development still form the basic recipe for long-term growth and success, not multimillion dollar marketing campaigns and big management teams.

TelephonyWorld.com Launches Third Generation Telecom Site with Enhanced B2B
Tools for Telecom Suppliers and Buyers

East Brunswick, N.J., April 30, 2001 -- in the wake of current dot-com disasters
and stock market turmoil, Creative Design Concepts, a small private company
based here is demonstrating that success on the web doesn't necessarily
require deep pockets or high priced management teams.

In early 1998 the company launched TelephonyWorld.com the premier B2B
marketplace on the web for the ever expanding telecommunication and voice &
data industry. At that time, success was driven by useful content, easy
navigation and delivering usable tools in one place without sending visitors
all over the web via lists of links. Today, according to the small New
Jersey firm, these key elements of web development still form the basic
recipe for long-term growth and success, not multimillion dollar marketing
campaigns and big management teams.

In its third year, TelephonyWorld.com gets its 2nd facelift and adds key B2B
tools and services in response to an active group of over 2000 daily users.
"Our new design had to be very carefully implemented in order to not disrupt
our successful navigation and framework," commented Don Panek, Senior Editor
for TelephonyWorld.com. "We are truly thrilled to have done what companies
spending billions could not do. By focusing on results, simple navigation,
customer service and timely content, we have consistently doubled our
numbers each year, And have been profitable as well! You can do it by
understanding what the visitor wants and how they want it presented, then
giving it to them as easily and cost effectively as you can. That is the
secret" added Panek.

The rising success of TelephonyWorld has been largely due to its unique
telecom buyer's guides which provide telecom professionals with full page
micro-sites of over 250 vendors and service providers in 25 categories.
Visitors can easily and quickly research a solution such as a new Call
Center or PBX System without leaving the site. Daily news, product releases,
white papers, tutorials and more are also provided free of charge to
visitors. This core model has attracted a community of qualified telecom
executives to the site, most of which have been regular visitors since day
one.

Enhanced Tools Add Power

-- the vast majority of visitors to TelephonyWorld.com are in need of some
sort of telecom or telephony solution. In order to better serve these
visitors, the new site now features a free RFP system. Users simply fill in
a brief form relating their system requirements and budget. Once submitted,
the data is verified and then sent electronically to all qualified vendor
partners in the TelephonyWorld database. The system has already delivered
over $90M in solution requests.

-- improved community discussion boards provide even more topics and ease of
use then the original system. In addition a new calendar system allows users
personalizing options.

-- telecom classified and events allow users to easily post job openings,
jobs wanted, items for sale, show and seminar dates and much more. All
secure and private.

-- the news system has been updated to now include targeted news stories in
each buyer's guide section. In other words, when visiting the FAX buyer's
guide users will be presented with filtered news related to the fax
industry.

-- peer publishing encourages visitors to submit their own stories, news and
articles for inclusion on the site.

-- a new deep search engine allows the entire site of over 3000 documents to
be quickly searched for key content.

-- a new micro-site development system allows vendors to update their
micro-site content anytime from a browser securely. This will ensure content
remains fresh and current.

Updates have also been made to all the original site features including the
press room, product reviews, book section, tutorials, weekly newsletter and
more.

Vendors and suppliers have direct access to all of the quality traffic and
leads generated on the site through very low cost marketing packages that
yield very high results and exposure.
