Andy I'm a ConsumerCenter specialist in the online Publishers field and recently spent a few minutes looking at bendpress.com ("Bend Press"). This site has a good model, but allow me to suggest that it could use a more professional look and improved functionality. Over the years, I've seen countless businesses that tried to get online, but failed simply because their website wasn't built with basic design principles in mind (easy navigation, professional graphics, fast loading pages, etc.). Ask yourself this one question: How will you ever know whether your business works online until you have a website that is working FOR you, rather than AGAINST you? If your business is working online, how much BETTER could it be doing for you if it inspired true confidence and professionalism? My organization has helped hundreds of businesses dramatically improve their online results. By working with only top, award-winning designers with a proven record of success, ConsumerCenters matches your particular website needs with the best possible designer for you. These award-winning designers have built some of the most highly visited and acclaimed websites online. They're fully prepared to build the largest, most complex of websites, as well as simple, yet powerful masterpieces. I'd truly enjoy proving to you what we can do for bendpress.com. Please call me toll free at --- --- ----, and I will return your call promptly. Thanks! Paul Paul Carter ConsumerCenters
