Contest Winners Getting Big Boost – Courtesy of GoDaddy.com Web Design Pros December 11, 2007; 05:14 AM SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- It has been said, if you run a
business without a Web site these days, you aren’t really competing.
Yet a lack of money, time and know-how are three reasons some
businesses stick to the old-school approach. Go Daddy has stripped away
the excuses awarding three winners in its Custom Web Site Contest.
Gail
Udell, Nick Barr and Heather Zook won the privilege of having the Go
Daddy Custom Web Site team build, hone and spruce their Internet sites.
Each winner receives a Go Daddy Custom Web Site, which includes
a 20-page Custom Page Layout design, a one-on-one design consultation
and one full year of hosting on the Go Daddy Premium Custom Web Site
Service.
All of Go Daddy’s more than 4.7 million customers were
invited to write a compelling story about why they or their business
should be chosen for a Custom Web Site. The three lucky winners were
formally announced today.
The contest is the brainchild of Go
Daddy’s CEO and Founder Bob Parsons who appeared in front of a live
audience on national television during an episode of The Big Idea
aimed at aspiring entrepreneurs. The “Ultimate Renegade,” as he was
billed in October, heard one too many stories about budding business
leaders who had inspirational stories and solid products but didn’t
have an online presence.
“It doesn’t have to cost hundreds of
dollars, you don’t need to be a tech whiz and we can help you get up
and running as quickly as anyone in the business – without a doubt,”
Parsons promised. “Our designers do a great job of bringing a
customer’s vision to life.”
The vision is at the heart of
every successful entrepreneur’s story. The three winners selected
produced stories voicing their visions that struck a chord with Parsons
and his executive staff.
Winner Gail Udell of the Emerald
Family Down Syndrome Network explained in her submission, “Our goal is
to be a community of supporters for our children. We were missing a big piece by not having a Web presence, and were limited in what we could do.”
Watch for the winners’ newly-designed Web sites will be presented at GoDaddyConnections.com beginning in early March.
