SDCHCC and santex-net Partner to Offer High-end Web Packages to Members at Reduced Cost
SAN DIEGO, CA (PRWEB) December 31 2003
The San Diego County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and santex-net have partnered to offer a flat-fee website development program of custom designed web packages at reduced costs to SDCHCC members. The packages were created to be working tools to help small businesses reach a wider audience.
santex-net is a full service, international web design agency specializing in online marketing solutions. The company is based in San Diego, Calif., and has helped more than 100 companies with strategic eCommerce developments, database programming, online marketing and search engine optimization.
"By virtue of their size, small businesses often lack the financial resources needed to aggressively market themselves," said santex-net cofounder Juan Santiago. "Members now have access to affordable, highend professional services that provide the greatest visibility possible. santex does custom work only, so every website is unique to a specific business and designed to be a dynamic working tool, not a stagnant billboard."
Members may choose from four distinct business packages that range from a simple, one-page site with basic information to an eightpage eCommerce site that includes product catalog and online purchase capability.
Lidia Martinez is the field marketing specialist for Southwest Airlines in San Diego and chairs the chamber's membership and marketing committee. "santexnet is offering our members a way to package their businesses and stay ahead of the competition, something that's critical to all businesses but especially to startups," she said. "The web package is one of the most powerful yet inexpensive marketing investments our members could make."
santex-net is also offering member discounts on products and services not included in the packages, will contribute five percent of the program's total revenues to the SDCHHC and offers free website development for select non-profit organizations that have enrolled in the program.
According to Alex Montoya, the chamber's senior membership coordinator, the new benefit is an incomparable opportunity to have an awardwinning professional increase business visibility and expand reach. "Juan knows and understands the challenges that face small businesses, and we're grateful to him for his role in helping other business owners succeed," he said.
"We're really pleased to have been the catalyst in making such a significant program happen," Santiago added. "It's good for the members, it's good for the chamber and it's good for the entire San Diego community. Everybody wins."
Founded in 1999, santex-net is known for its awardwinning websites that fuse art form with business function. The agency has earned a host of industry honors, including first place in a highend German magazine's advertising competition for the Deutsche Oper Berlin ad that appears throughout the Berlin subway system and an American Design Award'. The design agency serves clients in a comprehensive range of industries, including specialty foods, hospitality, retail and production, services, the arts and education.
