Web sites for all

The Government is committed to making the UK the world’s best environment for electronic commerce. To this end, it has set targets for getting businesses in the UK, whatever their size, online and using information and communications technologies (ICT) effectively.

The aim is to enable all businesses - particularly small businesses and business start-ups - to get a foothold on the World Wide Web and begin to take advantage of the tremendous potential that the Internet and E-commerce offer.

But the difficulty for many people in business is that it's all too difficult, too expensive, or they simply don't have the time.

No difficulty, however, is insurmountable. Ekos Consulting Limited has developed easisites.com - a radically different method of building web sites. It may be high tech, but it's so simple to use that even the most computer-wary and IT illiterate can create their own online working web pages in minutes.

As part of a National drive, Ekos Consulting has now joined forces with Business Link Kent and UK On-line for Business to offer businesses in Kent the opportunity to get a fantastic web site at a fraction of the cost and effort involved with the conventional approach.

All you need to do is go online (using regular web browser software, such as Netscape or Internet Explorer) and visit easisites.com or go direct to www.kent-esites.co.uk.

• No special software required – use any web connected PC.
• Once online sites and page layouts can be altered as often as desired at no extra cost.
• Upload your own pictures and logos or choose from the selection available.
• Search Engineering. Your site is added to all prominent search engines to maximise web exposure.
• You have the option of having your site entered into a local directory under the business category of your choice.
• Password controlled. When you have finished building your site you are allocated a password. Use this to gain access as the owner of your site to update or make changes.
• Payment online via credit card after building your site.
• Fraud proof. For extra security, once you have paid for your site your credit card details are deleted from kent-esites files.
• Promotion assistance. Immediately your site goes online a page will appear so you can email people you know (customers, suppliers, friends) to tell them about your new web site.
• Online help. Not only is there a help button to use when building a site, but there’s a Guided Tour you can step through. You’ll also find a Frequently Asked Questions page that will answer most of your queries.

All web sites built using easisites are automatically assigned web addresses - eg. www.kent-esites.co.uk/yourcompany.

However, if you would like your own web address - e.g. www.yourcompany.co.uk or www.yourcompany.com - or would like to transfer an existing domain name, this can be done (subject to availability).

The cost of subscribing to easisites.com is £100 (+VAT) for the first year and £50 (+VAT) for the second and subsequent years. (An additional fee of £50 (+VAT) will be charged for the registration and/or transfer of domain names).
