DOTSTER LAUNCHES WE-BUILD SERVICE FROM AKMIN

San Jose, California (October 12, 2005) – Akmin, the technology provider behind SiteGalore, today announced that Dotster, Inc., one of the world’s largest ICANN-accredited domain registrars and web hosting providers has launched the SiteGalore-powered WE-Build Service.

The Dotster We-Build service will offer five-page and ten-page websites built by professional designers. Customers can choose to maintain their own sites or to use the affordable monthly maintenance package with up to three hours of professional design time each month. Each package includes the one-time WE-Build service plus site hosting at Dotster’s most competitive price.

The WE-Build service maximizes resource utilization by enabling the WE-Build team of professional website designers to systematically design, develop and maintain the website based on user inputs by a proven and highly efficient ISO 9001-2000 certified website building process using SiteGalore.

Prashanth, CEO of Akmin Technologies, says, "Given the tight budgets of small businesses, a ‘productized service’ like WE-Build is ideal because it marries the expertise of professional web designers with the price advantage of a do-it-yourself website builder like SiteGalore."

Clint Page, Dotster’s CEO says, "We appreciated the private branding aspect of SiteGalore. The customer interacts with Dotster, with Akmin’s professionals in the background creating websites. It gives our company a valuable capability we couldn’t have provided to our customers without the Akmin partnership."
