Delivered through its BroadSpire Express(TM)

the packages come with professional web design, graphics,
custom logo design, a shopping cart system with order

insertion into the shopping cart, site marketing statistics,
site hosting, optional monthly maintenance, email account
configuration and domain registration. In addition,
BroadSpire's Web design experts provide consultation
services regarding the site's creative design, marketing

includes the design, consultation and one year of hosting.
BroadSpire also offers financing options for qualified
businesses. For more information, visit the company's

a presence on the Web with an enterprise-class hosting
infrastructure at a price any company can afford.

for anyone seeking a creative, technology-driven Internet
presence that requires 100 percent performance and service
level guarantees."
