SAN DIEGO, CA (PRWEB) January 1, 2004 --The San Diego County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and santex-net have partnered to offer a flat-fee website development program of custom-designed web packages at reduced costs to SDCHCC members.

santex-net is a full service, international web design agency specializing in online marketing solutions. The company is based in San Diego, Calif., and has helped more than 100 companies with strategic eCommerce developments, database programming, online marketing and search engine optimization.

"Members now have access to affordable, high-end professional services that provide the greatest visibility possible. santex does custom work only, so every website is unique to a specific business and designed to be a dynamic working tool, not a stagnant billboard."

Members may choose from four distinct business packages that range from a simple, one-page site with basic information to an eight-page eCommerce site that includes product catalog and online purchase capability.

Lidia Martinez is the field marketing specialist for Southwest Airlines in San Diego and chairs the chambers membership and marketing committee. "santex-net is offering our members a way to package their businesses and stay ahead of the competition, something thats critical to all businesses but especially to start-ups," she said. "The web package is one of the most powerful yet inexpensive marketing investments our members could make."

santex-net is also offering member discounts on products and services not included in the packages, will contribute five percent of the programs total revenues to the SDCHHC and offers free website development for select non-profit organizations that have enrolled in the program.

According to Alex Montoya, the chambers senior membership coordinator, the new benefit is an incomparable opportunity to have an award-winning professional increase business visibility and expand reach. "Juan knows and understands the challenges that face small businesses, and were grateful to him for his role in helping other business owners succeed," he said.

"Were really pleased to have been the catalyst in making such a significant program happen," Santiago added. "Its good for the members, its good for the chamber and its good for the entire San Diego community. Everybody wins."
