Good Website for a Good Business

The internet is a great way to promote and advertise your company. However, when a website is not properly maintained, or is generally just in bad shape, potential clients are turned off. A good website lets the client know that the business is serious and believe in their product or services. As more and more business` launch Web sites it`s essential for them to find innovative ways to reach out to their customers. Hostway Corporation, a leading provider of Web hosting and managed services, is thrilled to help make this process easier for one small business owner. Jeffrey Lewis, owner of She Central.net, was chosen out of over 2,000 entrants as the lucky winner of Hostway`s recent contest that awarded him $10,000 to enhance his business on the Web through the marketing campaign of his choice.

Lewis` land-based business is consulting in the implementation, operation and maintenance of Quality Management Systems (QMS). He has applied the same QMS format to a new virtual on-line facility to support OSHA Safety compliance and created a handheld software tool that helps all companies manage their statutory safety requirements. This Windows-based handheld can direct and manage the sequence of events to ensure control and keep accurate records on Hostway`s server of who and when scenarios. Lewis` primary business goal is to spread the word about the products and services his company offers to assist organizations to be more efficient and effective.

The Internet has become such an important factor in the growth of small businesses that it`s important for every business owner to have a strategic plan to drive traffic to their site. With this $10,000, Jeffrey will be able to broaden his marketing efforts and increase traffic to his Web site. Lewis stated that he`s been a Hostway customer for the past 4 years and has always been impressed with its responsive and reliable service. This $10,000 sweepstakes money will be used to help expand the reach of his target market with the upcoming "Safety in Your Hand" marketing campaign. It will definitely help gain traction and momentum as the company allocates resources to make contact with new markets.
