Hi All,



I have a fair amount of entrepreurial experience, having started three businesses to date with which I've been reasonably successful. I've been involved in many large scale new business (web) projects for some of the biggest companies in the world.



In all this experience it was clear to me that one sector of the market was not served very well by the existing internet service providers, namely, the small business market.



In Ireland, at least, a bespoke website will cost at least €2,000 for a very basic site. (Of course, sites can be purchased for less, but in the vast majority of cases, they risk of getting a sows ear of a site is dramatically increased!).



We have built technology that allows us to build and deploy websites on unique URLs (our clients choose their own web-address), rapidly and at a low cost. We pass this cost saving on to our clients, to cut the cost of their site to €400.

There are other companies doing this on the market too. I would advise any small business, or startup to secure their web real estate in this manner. For most businesses, that site will suffice long into the future. For others, it will be a beach head from which further forays into internet marketing will begin. Either way, it is critical for such businesses to reduce costs when and where it is possible. Saving €1,600 in development costs is a significant result!



Naturally, I'd recommend that you come to us for your site, at http://www.noobaloo.com, but of course, there are other options. As a competent business person, you will obviously check what other options are available.



When selecting from your options, it is important to ask the following questions:



1. What am I getting for my money? (How many pages? Is there Search Engine Optimisation included? Is the URL and hosting included? Is there a CMS so I can edit the site myself? )

2. What are the ongoing costs? (Is it a flat rate annually, or does it depend on the size of my site?)

3. What are the TOTAL costs annually?

4. Will this involve a compromise on quality?

5. Will the provider comply with my branding requirements?



Naturally, we consider that we can provide a positive answer to all of these questions.



I hope you found this helpful.



Kind regards,



Cormac.
