    Thought some of you guys might be interested in this competition from www.omniserve.ie -> http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055363292
    We are offering 1 free website to Boards readers of this forum. To win this website on this coming Friday (29th August) we will select the best slogan posted to this thread that starts with

    “Irish small businesses need a website now more than ever because …………”

    The free website includes:

    1. Domain registration of an extension of your choice.
    2. Hosting of your email and website.
    3. Distillation of your requirements and any unique content you want to
    provide using our intelligent "Collecting Your Input" online form.
    4. Organising of your content into a format for the site build.
    5. Basic optimization of your site focusing on your name, business you
    are in and geographical location.
    5. An online meeting with one of our staff where you are taken through the
    build of your site and trained in how to make changes and use the CM4all
    control panel to do this.
    6. Shown how to use features such as blogs that can get you more business
    (here's an example of a client making good use of this to get more gigs for
    their band: http://www.blackwaterband.ie/5930.html ).
    7. Free entry of your new site in our blog which, thanks to being indexed
    every couple of minutes by Google, ensures that your business name and
    primary product area appears in Google organic results very quickly. This
    free post also includes a link to your site and we have tracked
    that click throughs to completed websites from our blog have occurred within minutes of the post being indexed.

    All entries on the other thread for convenience.

    Thanks Vexorg.

    Due to the difficult economic times and the changing way people search for new services(ie via Google rather than traditional methods) small businesses need every help they can get in getting new business from the web. Our objective is to try and get as many small Irish businesses as possible live on the web in the shortest possible time.

    We are offering 2 free websites for the best reply to the slogan, one for readers of the Entrepreneurial & Business Management forum and one for readers of the Web Development & Design forum.

    I am happy to answer any questions relevant to our competition or the new Omniserve offering.

    Regards Eoin

    Irish small businesses need a website now more than ever as the internet allows you reach a far greater target audience than other media forms, while minimising costs.

    Irish small businesses need a website now more than ever because the target audience can interact with your website (from page to page), whereas with all other media, they are passive spectators

    We've spent the last 1/2 hour going through all the entries and enjoyed reading many of them.

    However when it came down to deciding we felt that we should pick the one that is best without any re-writing.

    And the winner is.....

    “Irish small businesses need a website now more than ever because if you're not Online then your Business wont shine!"

    The Scientist

    I am PMing the winner with the details we need from you. Please reply as soon as possible.

    Thanks Everyone for entering!

    Hi Darragh,

    Please see http://www.annsummersathome.ie/ for the live site. Our customer changed their mind about the domain extension that the wanted auth for the live site a while after the .com version referred to on that page had gone live. The customer also specified that they did not want the .com to redirect for their own personal reasons.

    Thanks for pointing that out, we will correct the URL on that page.

    Regards Eoin
