Coventry BID is offering to build its members a company website, as part of a new service. The BID company, Coventry Best for Business, has launched a Web Template Service which allows its members to have a website created with the help of its expert staff as part of their benefits package. The service is aimed at companies which do not currently have a web presence and need assistance to produce a suitable website. The five-page sites can display company information, contact details and an overview of the company’s products and services. Dave Carr, from Coventry BID, said: “The first thing a lot of people do when they are trying to find out about a company is to look on the internet. “When companies do not have any web presence they could miss out on a lot of money making opportunities. “Even having the most basic company information available online can be a big help. “Having a company website sends out the right message to potential clients and customers.” One company which has already taken advantage of the Web Template Service is Lockhurst Lane-based recruitment consultants Prestige Personnel. Leighann Rowe, administration manager for Prestige Personnel, said: “As a Coventry Best for Business member we were keen to get all the benefits available to us and, after speaking with Dave Carr from Coventry BID, we were offered a free five page web site service. “The timing could not have been better as this was something we have been looking at putting together, however did not have the time and expertise to do so. “All we had to do was supply our company information, logo, pictures and they went about creating our website free of charge, and we are more than pleased with the outcome. “They have been really helpful with everything from setting up the site to dealing with any technical issues. “As a member we are now looking forward to the additional services provided by BID, especially the broadband facility through BT.” A taste of what companies can expect to get from the Web Template Service can be found at the Prestige Personnel website www.prestigepersonnel.co.uk. Companies interested in the free Web Template Service should contact Dave Carr on 02476 236347 or email davec@coventryb4b.co.uk.
