Web site building made easy for business people and non-programming
computer users.
GREAT FALLS, Montana - July 25, 2002 - Sofast
Communications, Montana’s premier Internet service provider,
announced today the availability of Sofast web™ 2.0, an internet-based
web site building and maintenance application. The product enables
business people and computer users who lack programming skills to
build web sites through an easy-to-use interface on-line at www.sofastweb.net.
"Sofast web™ has given me an economical way to get my
business on the Internet," says Dave Rinehart, owner of Bike
Rite & Boards of Kalispell, MT. "I had no idea it was this
easy to create a fully functional web site that does e-commerce.
After I tried the trial version of Sofast web™, I was convinced
this is the way to build an Internet presence for my business. It's
also easy to keep my site up-to-date with new products and pricing
by simply accessing my account with my password and then making
my changes - quickly and easily. Thanks Sofast!" Bike Rite
& Board’s Sofast web site can be found at www.bikerite.com.
Sofast web™ is designed to give the consumer an alternative
to either having to pay for a web site developer, or learn how to
do web site programming themselves. With Sofast web™, the
user establishes an account with a password. After the user logs-in
and builds the site, it is hosted on the Sofast Communications Internet
servers. When the time comes to update any part of the site, the
user simply logs-in and makes the necessary updates at no extra
charge. The product is much more cost-effective and easier to use
than other methods of web site building which have come before it.
Sofast web™ allows the web site to grow and change when the
owner needs it to without paying high updating fees.
“We are extremely excited to announce Sofast web™ 2.0.
This tool gives the power of the Internet to small businesses owners
no matter what their computer skills are,” says Michael Kazmier,
Chief Technology Officer at Sofast Communications. “The online
tools are so functional that it will even meet the needs of most
advanced web developers as well. Most importantly, Sofast web™
gives small business owners the opportunity to have detailed and
complex online presence to enable them to expand their business
and meet their customer’s demands for 24x7 access to the small
business.”
The first version of Sofast web™ offered users the simplest
method of building and maintaining a web site. Version 2.0 of Sofast
web™ keeps the easy-to-use interface and adds and enormous
amount of functionality. A Sofast web™ Version 1 site could

coupons page, an on-line calendar, a product catalog / menu, domain
name registration, full e-commerce / on-line store, and the ability
