CREATAPLACE GIVES FREE WEBSITES TO CREATIVE PROFESSIONALS

San Francisco, CA (May 3, 2006)– Now there’s an alternative for small design firms to get a big web presence: Creataplace.com. Most designers don’t have the time or money to develop a custom website, but the cheap template sites don’t suit their needs or provide the high-level of design sophistication they require.

Creataplace offers low-cost, professionally crafted websites made specifically to meet the needs of architects, interior designers, kitchen and bath designers, contractors, artists— any solo practitioner or small business that wants to showcase their portfolio online. Designer Patrick Morrow explains: “We want to help designers present their work in the best way possible. A Creataplace site will do just that. Your firm can launch a great looking website, quickly and easily – and for a fraction of the cost of a custom site of the same caliber.”

Designers are invited to become one of the first to try out a Creataplace site by registering as beta-testers. If selected, they can get a free website. This is a limited time offer. Visit Creataplace.com for more information.

Lead Developer David Jones uses the latest web technologies such as Ruby on Rails and Ajax to build a web application that’s truly user-friendly. Simplicity is what it's all about. According to Jones, “Setting-up and editing your Creataplace site is as easy as pointing and clicking – no complex content managers, no confusing interfaces, no hassle.”

Creataplace was developed by Resolve Digital in response to numerous requests for websites that were great looking, but didn’t cost a lot. “I’ve had dozens of phone conversations with architects and interior designers who contacted us because they wanted a professional web presence, but they couldn’t afford to hire our firm to do a custom design,” says Resolve Digital Partner, Barry Harrison. “Now we can offer them a solution: a beautiful website they can easily customize, for about 1/10th of the cost of our typical sites.”
