Companies Lining Up For Websites

By Tim O’Toole

For $2,000 ($2,500 for non-members) your website will be fully customized the way you want it. Along with fully customized website design (including graphic design), you will also receive domain registration (i.e. www.your-company.com) along with e-mail addresses, 1 year of hosting, and 2 hours of free updates per month for up to one year (members only).

Once you sign up, the MCAA will send you a starter kit which includes simple instructions, information forms, and a digital camera. When your information is gathered and your pictures are taken, send them back to us, and I will begin to build your website. Throughout the entire design process, you will have access to the website to see how the development is coming along. Within a few weeks, your company will be online! It's as simple as that.

An interactive example website can be found at our website, www.masoncontractors.org, on the Website Design Services page under the Resources section.

The benefits of a website are unlimited. Aside from allowing your company to reach a potentially unlimited audience, a website will act as a cost effective marketing tool, a powerful informational tool, will allow you to provide potential and current customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week access to information about you and your company, and create new channels of communication with not only customers, but also employees and suppliers.

Several companies have already taken advantage of this great service. Hurry before the demand becomes too great to meet! Purchase your website and establish your presence on the Internet today!

If you have further questions or would like to sign up, please feel free to contact me by e-mail at totoole@masoncontractors.org or toll free at (800) 536-2225.
