Make Your Own Website Pioneer to Build Free Sites for Nonprofits

RISING SUN, Md., May 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Some lucky nonprofit organizations will get free professionally designed and managed websites, thanks to a program announced today by leading website builder eBizWebpages.com.

Beginning June 30  a nonprofit organization will be chosen every three months to receive a free website complete with site management, hosting and domain name registration for one year. The site will be designed and maintained by eBizWebpages.com professionals.

Best known for providing make your own website services to businesses, eBizWebpages.com also creates sites for companies that prefer to have their websites built for them.

According to eBizWebpages.com Vice President for Business Development Craig Stevens, the free websites will be built to the same high standards as his company's commercially offered sites. Each pro bono site will be professionally designed for a "custom" appearance and will utilize the same robust platform that powers all eBizWebpages.com websites.

Unlike "free" websites offered by other companies, Stevens says those built by eBizWebpages.com will be free from third-party advertising. Nonprofits will also be able to choose their own domain names, which is usually not the case with other free website offers.

Stevens says his company has quietly provided free or reduced-rate services to nonprofits and charities throughout its 10-year history. He believes that "with an announced and regularly scheduled submission and selection process, we can  help even more worthwhile organizations get an improved presence online."

"Today, every business needs a website if it's to compete and be successful. We believe the same is true for nonprofits." Stevens added.

In order to be considered for a free website, nonprofit organizations must be involved in an activity that addresses a specific need within its community, such as healthcare, housing, education or social services. Organizations that have websites but want a better one will also be considered.

Organizations wishing to be considered must submit an application to eBizWebpages.com by midnight June 30, 2011. Each quarter for the subsequent twelve months, one organization will be selected from the applications submitted during that period and will receive a free website. The first recipient will be informed on or before July 31. The program is void where prohibited and some restrictions may apply.
