Funds to encourage companies to get online

UK company 247 Webhost.net is offering start-ups and SMEs a free 8 Page professionally designed, bespoke HTML/FLASH website or free e-commerce store with up to 30 products. This represents a saving of nearly 800. A full year's hosting plus the website, domain name and free advertising on all major search engines is included. All the client pays is a hosting fee from 17.99 per month. With this limited time offer, which includes a 30 day no obligation trial, companies can have a site up and running within 7 working days.

247 Webhost.net, the web hosting division of ComputerWorks&Designs is making funds available for start-ups and SMEs to encourage companies to get online. The evidence for doing so is overwhelming. According to the research organisation IDC, e-commerce alone will be worth 563 billion this year. This is supported in further studies by KPMG which show that in three to five years' time, companies expect to see 20% or more of their sales conducted electronically providing customers with choice, reduced cost and convenience. Providing a website as a promotional, awareness and selling tool is a must and some companies are losing ground to competitors, if they are not online.

The Offer

On the Internet, we all get the same opportunity to attract millions of prospects for our business. While most small businesses cant afford a 20,000 full page advertisement in national magazines or a 100,000 to spend on a 30-second TV commercial, on the Internet the small guys can even lure customers away from the Starbucks, Pepsis and Amazons of the business world."
