Apptivo Helps Entrepreneurs Create Online Brand

Fremont, CA, October 30, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Entrepreneurs, who need to wear different hats everyday to sustain and grow their businesses, have one less thing to worry about. With the launch of Apptivo’s free website development offer, entrepreneurs can quickly and inexpensively create an online web presence and increase awareness about their business. Most entrepreneurs are just too busy to worry about taking the first step towards developing their online brand by creating a professional website for their business. To address this huge gap for entrepreneurs, Apptivo is offering to design and develop professional websites for 100 entrepreneurs totally free. Once the website is developed, it will also be integrated with Apptivo’s Free Business Management Platform (http://apptivo.com). As part of this offer, Apptivo will take care of all the technical development required to have the site up and running.

To take advantage of this offer, entrepreneurs just need to create an account with Apptivo and send an email to startups@apptivo.com, describing their startup.

When asked about offering their services for free, Apptivo’s Chief Marketing Officer, Jake Villareal said “The platform is already made available for free to users and we wanted to take it a step further and provide some of our value added services for free to thriving entrepreneurs. A custom built website can cost an entrepreneur anywhere from $1,000 to $15,000. But this offer would help them get started with no upfront costs.” Gustavo Chamarro, the Director of Santa Ana based business incubator, Digital Media Center, said “A lot of our startups are really excited about this offer. Every entrepreneur wants to start building their online brand but is usually worried about having to spend money with limited resources. I am sure that a lot of startups will greatly benefit from this offer.”
