Web Development Firm Celebrates First Anniversary in Connecticut

One year ago today, Paula M. Pierce and Shelley Sullivan officially launched Hosting Connecticut, LLC, the premier web development company, in Windsor and Avon. Working mainly with local businesses, Hosting Connecticut provides successful websites to those looking to establish an online presence, and redesigns and marketing strategies to those whose existing websites aren’t producing as expected.

The company introduced several new services during the year including email accounts for people that are tired of getting spam from free email servers. Even with the new CAN-SPAM Act and its goal to impose “limitations and penalties on the transmission of unsolicited commercial electronic mail”, there will still be floods of spam. Hosting Connecticut helps individuals reduce the amount of spam they receive and helps business owners get their legitimate email messages and newsletters to their subscribers without getting deleted by the aggressive spam filters.

Local businesses praise Hosting Connecticut for helping them attract new clients. Williams and Vassallo, a Suffield Law Firm, has seen a significant increase in new business since Hosting Connecticut developed their website and provided them with a merchant account to accept credit card payments online and offline.

“We look for ways to help our clients reduce costs. Our merchant account rates (both online and offline) are quite low. Some businesses don’t even know what they’re paying their processors to accept credit cards until we ask. We review their statements with them line by line to find out if our services will save them money,” says Pierce.

So what does 2004 hold for Hosting Connecticut? “We just introduced a wireless terminal so businesses can process credit cards in real time at trade shows and also a powerful new stats package for site owners to analyze their website traffic and the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns," Sullivan said. "We'll also focus on researching new technology and continue to offer exemplary customer service.
