From Unemployment to Entrepreneurship: Webnode Provides Free Website Building Tools for Starting a Business

- Webnode Unveils the eShop, an eCommerce site building tool that can create eCommerce Pages in Minutes, Not Days.

- Project was winner of European start up of the year award in 2008 - With more than 1,000,000 users Webnode is entering U.S. market.

November 10, 2009 – Phoenix, AZ - With unemployment at 10 percent and the deepest recession since the Great Depression, many people in the U.S. are figuring out new ways to make money during the recent economic meltdown. These people may be interested in learning about Webnode ( http://www.webnode.com), a free and easy to understand website building tool that allows users with no technical knowledge to create and manage multi page websites and eCommerce sites for free.

Webnode’s latest product, the eShop, is an effective eCommerce tool which allows people to sell online in a day and create a new business for themselves. eShop was created with the layman, or average person, in mind and works immediately without customization or technical skills. Users don’t have to hire a web programmer to create shopping carts or product pages.

Within minutes of registering for a free account, users create a sophisticated, professional-looking website and add product to sell online. eShop, which provides a guide on how to merchandise products and recommends shopping cart placement, has the ability to create reports on best selling items and can help the user promote certain items for sale.

Webnode, from the Czech Republic, has partially contributed to a renaissance of Internet capitalism in that part of the world and is responsible for 48% of all eCommerce websites in Eastern Europe. The Webnode site builder tool provides tips on how to increase traffic and offers easy drag and drop functionality, allowing users to run websites with no additional downloads and can easily embed web videos and items with no programming involved.

Angela Cuthill of Artysmartyshop.com states that, “'As with many small business owners, I was working with a tight budget, and for setting up an e-commerce site, Webnode was definitely the obvious option for me. Other similar sites don't offer e-commerce at all, which made them a non-starter, and the cost for web designers to set up and host a site wasn't an option cost wise either. The site is easy to use, and offers simple software to upload and edit images, and also to set up the eShop.“ Vit Vrba, president of Webnode states, “For many people creating a website can be frustrating and even intimidating. Webnode is offering a way for the small business person, student and general average person to understand that they can create a professional level website in a matter of minutes and can still use the latest in Web 2.0 tools. We’ve seen companies grow through the use of Webnode, and we are thrilled to offer our platform to the U.S. market.” Webnode Description Founded in 2007 in the Czech Republic, Webnode (www.webnode.com) is an award-winning Web 2.0 company which won the start up competition at the prestigious LeWeb ’08 in Paris and recently reached over 1,000,000 registered users. Webnode received funding from the Swiss investment fund Centralway in 2008.

Webnode is used by small businesses, non profits, start ups, entrepreneurs, freelancers and job searchers worldwide. People with minimal technical skill and anxiety in starting a website can create a free working website themselves in a day. Although Webnode is free to use, the company charges for extra storage space, additional bandwidth options and extra eMail accounts. Webnode’s business model proves that this is a much needed service and that Internet companies can grow organically throughout the world.
