Ekosweb powers easisites.com

Ekosweb, developed by Ekos Consulting, will run easisites.com - the national web for local business.

The simplicity of Ekosweb allows subscribers to easisites.com to create their own web pages in a matter of minutes. 'And not only is it easy for anyone in business to have their own web presence,' says Ekos director, Matthew Ashton (who developed Ekosweb), 'the system is so easy to administer that easisites.com can offer subscribers web pages for the fraction of the cost of any other available facility.'

The cost of subscribing to easisites.com is just £100 for the first year and £50 for every year after that. 'It costs more than that just to register a web site,' says Matthew. 'And that's without the server charges.' All of which are inclusive with easisites.com

Another feature of easisites.com is an online local search facility - like Yellow Pages, like Thomson; only simpler.

easisites.com effectively slices up the web up into manageable pieces and simplifies the whole business of doing business via Internet for everyone.

'Our aim,' says Ekos director, Glyn Debnam, 'is to enable any and every business, of whatever size, to take advantage of the tremendous potential that the Internet offers.'

As far as we can see, this is the most accessible way to reach your customers on Internet.

The launch of easisites.com has been welcomed by Patricia Hewitt, Minister responsible for E-Business. ' We have set targets to get UK SMEs online and using information and communications technologies (ICTs) effectively,' she told Glyn Debnam. ' I therefore welcome projects such as yours, which should help enable SMEs to make the best use of ICTs.

'May I take this opportunity to pass on my best wishes for the launch of this project and hope that easisites.com will be successful in providing UK SMEs with an opportunity to explore and use e-commerce.'

easisites.com is due to go online in July.
