TCM Teams Up with Network Solutions for Low-Cost Website
McCready Boatyard and Railway {Lusby, Maryland} wanted to be online, but had limited funds to support this online marketing objective. TCM utilized a small business website design package from Network Solutions. For under $1,500, TCM was able to guide McCready on domain selection and registration, one year's web hosting services from NS, and the creation, layout and design of a basic six to eight-page website. TCM, who normally creates all of its custom websites in Dreamweaver, mastered the intricacies of NS' own Website Builder Tool. TCM selected one of NS' many web templates, tapped its own photo archives, assisted McCready with copywriting and content organization, and within four weeks time launched the new McCready website.
