Incorporating services from Zoomdot, HostPro, and Microsoft bCentral, the Starter Pack will allow Zoomdot to provide customers with a complete solution to market their business online for a fixed price. The Starter Pack uses the latest technology, combining HostPro’s award winning web hosting services, Microsoft bCentral’s Traffic Builder marketing tools, and Zoomdot’s expertise at online marketing and development using Microsoft’s .NET platform. "Having a web site is a necessity for a business today. Not having one is like not having a business card; you just don’t look ready to do business," said Annika Sundequist, Zoomdot Business Development Manager. "What Zoomdot has done is simplify what it takes for a small business to create a high-quality customized online marketing presence like the big guys. A company that uses online marketing in an effective way can ‘cast a bigger shadow’ and really have a positive impact on competitiveness and the bottom line." “Online marketing web sites have typically come in two categories: really expensive custom sites, and really cheap-looking ‘cookie-cutter” sites. Now, the Zoomdot Starter Pack can jumpstart a small to medium business that has been waiting for a quality service at a price they can afford,” said Garrett Mullins, vice president of sales for HostPro. “The HostPro Mission series of web site hosting offerings were designed for small to medium business, and is ideally suited for Zoomdot Starter Pack customers,” said Mullins. “Based on Windows 2000, the HostPro Mission series offers start-of-the-art back-end technology, as well as 24x7 technical support, all at an affordable price." The Starter Pack comes in three different versions. The “Basic Starter Pack” gets a company online in less than a week with a custom Macromedia Flash-based web site. It also includes tools that allow a company to easily update their own XML-based content using any web browser. The “Online Marketing Starter Pack” helps a company gain visibility and improve site traffic with a variety of Zoomdot’s marketing services and functionality from Microsoft bCentral Traffic Builder. The “Premium Starter Pack” includes all features from both the “Basic Starter Pack” and “Online Marketing Starter Pack”.
