NEW YORK -- Register.com, Inc., a leading provider of global domain registration and Web business services, today announced significant enhancements to its WebSiteNOW!(TM) (WSN) do-it-yourself (DIY) Web site development tool. WebSiteNOW! allows customers with no technical experience to easily design, build and manage their own professional-looking Web pages at their Register.com domain name.
We put together a package of enhancements based upon our customers' most frequent requests," noted Monica Hodges, Register.com's general manager of Retail Services. "At the heart of our business lies a philosophy of handholding through what some see as a complicated process. Our ultimate goal with WebSiteNOW! is to provide customers the tools that enable them to easily design and build Web sites like those created by professionals. With these enhancements we're giving small businesses more of the resources they need to prosper through their online presence."
Key enhancements to WebSiteNOW! include:
Image Vault- Many small business customers simply don't have the time, money, or equipment to easily procure all of their own images for their Web site. Therefore, Register.com now provides 5,000 stock photos that are available to all WSN users. Moreover, all images are formatted for easy loading, and use none of the users' allotted disk space.
New Layout Options- Register.com understands that a customer has a vision of his Web site before it's even built. Therefore, Register.com turned to its customers to develop a set of 18 new page layouts based on their needs. The new options will let customers better match the look of their template-based site to their original Web site design plans.
Search Engine Optimization- In this age of Internet search, Register.com knows that small business owners understand not only the importance of an online presence, but also the benefits to being easily found online. WebSiteNOW! users now have the ability to assign unique HTML page titles to each page on their site. These page titles are critical for proper cataloging by search engines and will lead to better search engine positioning and improved descriptions on search engine results pages.
New Solid Color Templates- Register.com recognized that some users prefer templates without extensive design graphics and instead opt to create more personalized design elements with their own images. For these users, Register.com now offers solid background color templates in white, black, gray, and navy blue.
Personal trainer Gina Jackson used WebSiteNOW! to launch FitnessByGina.com, and lauds its steady development. "That's the one thing I like about the product. It's continually adding this robustness. It's never been stagnant. I started using it because I didn't know much, but I've grown and the product has grown to allow me to add additional pieces," Jackson says.
"Now I get compliments (about my site) from graphic designers asking me who built it, which makes me feel good because it was just me."
