ORLANDO & ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Dec 12, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Two Florida businesses have joined forces to help eradicate the problem of crappy websites.
Spiderhost in Orlando and J Allan Studios in St. Petersburg are offering two organizations a free website makeover - all they have to do is win the Crappiest Website Contest!
The contest is open to businesses, sole proprietorships, and organizations with existing websites in Central and West Florida. Naturally a few terms and conditions apply, but for two lucky winners the days of having a crappy website are nearing their end.
"It's no secret there are a lot of crappy websites out there," says Dawn Frohman, creative director at Spiderhost. "We're trying to fix that, one website at a time." Adds Justin Elza, lead designer at J Allan Studios, "We see a lot of crappy websites and say to ourselves, 'We could help them!' This contest is our way of reaching out to those businesses."
Contestants in the Orlando area can enter at those in the Tampa Bay area can enter at . Spiderhost will pick one winner from the Orlando market; J Allan Studios will pick one from the Tampa market.
"There really aren't too many restrictions," says Dale Frohman, Spiderhost's president and the contest's creator. "We know not everyone can afford a world-class website, so this is our way making it accessible for a couple Florida businesses."
Contest terms:
-- The contest will accept entries until 5 p.m. EST on Tuesday December 30th, 2008.
-- One winner from Orlando will be chosen by Spiderhost and one from Tampa Bay will be chosen by J Allan Studios, based on the companies' respective criteria, which is proprietary.
-- Winners will be chosen by Wednesday January 6th, 2009 and notified via e-mail; in the event the first winner does not respond within 48 hours another will be chosen, and so on until a chosen winner responds and accepts the offered services.
-- Both website makeovers are valued at $5,000 each, and the work performed will not exceed $5,000 in value.
-- The content is open to new clients only.
-- Both winners will be provided with one website designed in a web-based content management system, implementation, and hosting for one calendar year.
