Choice One Adds Web Design and Hosting Services to Its Product Offerings - Brief Article

ISP Business, Nov, 2000

Choice One Communications, an integrated communications provider offering facilities-based voice and data telecommunications services to small and medium-sized businesses, announced that it is introducing a comprehensive suite of Web site design, development, and hosting services that complement the company's existing voice and data service offerings.

Choice One has begun to offer these new services instantly in Rochester, NY and Buffalo, NY. The company plans to roll out these new products and services throughout its footprint during the next several months.

According to Steve Dubnik, chairman and CEO, "Many small- and medium-sized businesses have difficulty devoting the resources necessary to establish an effective strategy and presence on the Web. Our new products are designed to be flexible, affordable, easy-to-use, and will enable our clients to establish a meaningful and customized solution that leverages the power of the Internet to make their business better."

Choice One acquired a prominent Buffalo-based Web design firm in February 2000. Subsequently re-named Choice One Online, this company has provided Choice One with many of the skill sets and capabilities required to offer complete customized Web solutions including design, development, and hosting.

Choice One is offering its clients the opportunity to choose from several Web design packages that range in size and complexity. Additionally, the company's new offerings include hosting, e-mail, domain name services (DNS), and customized e-business solutions.
