Website Design and Search Engine Marketing Consultations Just Became Free

(PRWEB) September 03, 2011

iLean Solutions is inviting every business owner to call in or visit them for a free consultation on their website design or search engine optimization project. This no-obligation consultation is offered as part of iLean Solutions ongoing commitment to provide its clients with not just quality service, but more importantly valuable information.

In addition to offering valuable information, iLean Solutions wants to make the public aware of misleading forms of optimizing their websites, and also what to really look for when searching for someone to handle something so valuable as their website design and online marketing.

In business they say its lonely at the top when referring to a CEO of a company. Rod and Giuliana founders of iLean Solutions - realized early on that its also very lonely at the bottom when you are first starting your business, and this is the perfect stage to start building a long-term relationship with clients. Offering valuable information at no cost goes hand in hand with their ethics. Most entrepreneurs like to keep information that can help others secret for some reason. We believe in sharing and helping others succeed theres no harm in that

The idea for starting a website design company first came to Giulianas husband - Rod - who was really skeptical about this over saturated market. Rod did not see much of a future in website design at first, but as they started to work with more and more customers, they quickly realized that their clients needed much more help than just a simple website.

iLean Solutions is a full website design company with additional services such as hosting, online marketing, and print advertisement, but what really makes iLean Solutions special, is their unique approach towards working with small business owners from around the country and in some cases outside of the US. They understand exactly how hard it is to build a business, let alone starting a business. So they not only help business owners create an online presence, but they take the time to actually establish a long-term relationship with them.

Webs, Inc., Celebrates its 10th Anniversary: Do-it-Yourself Solution for Website Creation Now Serves More than 40 Million Users Worldwide

Silver Spring, MD (PRWEB) June 10, 2011

Webs, the popular, do-it-yourself solution for website creation, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this week, having grown from 34 daily sign-ups to more than 40 million businesses, that have launched their own websites with Webs.

Started in 2001 by three brothers--Zeki, Haroon and Idris Mokhtarzada--Webs was founded on the principle that the average, nontechnical person should be able to make a great website.

Zeki and Haroon Mokhtarzada, while students at the University of Maryland, College Park, created Webs (then known as Freewebs) after realizing that a website-creation tool would be more efficient than creating websites for others by hand. They each invested $ 1,000, bought a few servers, put the servers in a closet in Zekis apartment, and Freewebs was born.

We wanted to make it easier for people to get nice looking, organized websites, according to Haroon Mokhtarzada, Co-Founder and CEO of Webs. The brothers chose their mother as the ideal Webs user: "My mother is a professional and a very intelligent person, but she doesn't have any technical skills. If she could use our Site Builder, most people could," explained Haroon.

In a recent interview, the founders of Webs shared the Webs philosophy and their mothers role in the company:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VbwI6LQP30

In 2001, two or three new users signed up with Freewebs each day. Then something strange happened: a lot more people started signing up. The mystery was solved when Haroon and Zeki found out that their younger brother, Idriswho was then only 14had added Freewebs to dmoz.org, a popular website directory. We werent even ready to launch, noted Haroon.

But the business was put on the back burner in 2002 when Zeki began working for the National Institutes of Health and Haroon began studying law at Harvard University. They kept Freewebs going by working on it part-time. After Haroon graduated from law school he considered his options: Freewebs was making enough money to pay our salaries, so we said, lets give it some love. In 2005 the brothers gave Freewebs their full attention and set out to fulfill their entrepreneurial dreams.

High-octane growth

Their hard work paid off: in August 2006 they received $ 11 million in Series A funding from Novak Biddle Venture Partners and Columbia Capital.

Between 2003 and 2007 the company grew 1704%. In 2008, Webs placed fifth in Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for the Greater Washington region. By this point, Webs was getting 20,000 new user signups every day and each month 30 million unique people visited sites created with Webs Site Builder tool.

2008 was also the year the company rebranded itself by changing its name from Freewebs to, simply, Webs. This 2.0 iteration of the Webs platform let site owners create community-driven sites that visitors could join as members. By giving site members the ability to comment on photos, post to a blog, add to a site calendar, and more, a site becomes more of a living, breathing entity, notes Haroon.

In November 2009, Webs launched an App Store to make helpful third-party applications available to all Webs users. Some of the most popular apps in the App Store include the e-commerce Web Store, Cafe Press, DudaMobile, Meebo, and Etsy.

The Webs family of products

2010 was the year Webs developed a family of products to give Webs customers primarily small business owners -- easy and cost-effective ways to develop an online presence across web, mobile, and social platforms. In addition to the Webs DIY site-creation tool, the Webs family of products grew to include:

ContactMe, the first online, lightweight customer relationship management (CRM) tool created exclusively for microbusinesses.

Pagemodo, a do-it-yourself Facebook page builder that enables small businesses to design and customize their Facebook fan pages for free. With Pagemodos Pagebuilder, entrepreneurs dont need to have any technical or design skills to create fresh, stylish Facebook pages for their business that attracts visitors and promotes their services.

Continued innovation

But growing its family of products didnt stop Webs from innovating within the Webs platform as well, particularly to give small businesses an edge in the mobile arena:

Mobile Websites are available to every Webs user. The mobile version is optimized for todays mobile devices, like the iPhone, Android, and Blackberry, and automatically stays in sync with the original site.

A Webs Redesign in 2010 presented a stylish and more functional version of Webs to the world. The Webs.com website and the Webs Site Builder were overhauled to make their site-building tools and processes even easier for people to use.

All of this innovation was recognized in July 2010 when Webs was named one of the Hottest DC Area Companies by Lead411. The awards review noted that Webs is among the top 100 most trafficked websites in the world. The company has tripled its revenues in the past 3 years.

The Webs family

Webs now has 50 employees and offices in both Silver Spring, Maryland, and Silicon Valley. The Silver Spring office has an open floor plan that facilitates brainstorming and collaboration. Zeki, Haroon, and Idris sit with their teams but often move around the office to answer questions, solve problems, fix bugs, and discuss plans for helping Webs users achieve their own entrepreneurial dreams.
