WSI Web Wize of West Hartford, Connecticut, an Internet solutions company for small business owners, is proud to launch Contractor Website Solutions (CWS). CWS is a new U.S. Internet service business that specializes in building contractor websites with coordinated print promotional materials across the nation for all trades in the contractor and construction industry.

"The Internet has become standard in most industries, yet, contracting trade business owners such as electricians, plumbers, floor refinishers, residential painters, carpenters, etc. have not joined the rush to leverage the Internet as quickly as other industries have," said CWS owner, Joyce Therieault. Joyce believes there are a few reasons for this trend, including a lack of knowledge on how the Internet can help contractors as well as a lack of time to transition their marketing efforts away from traditional, expensive print marketing. Joyce suspects that some contractors may be uncomfortable with internet technology in general, and her team takes pride in alleviating those roadblocks which prevent contractors from taking advantage of the Internet. "We provide the technical skills for our contractors so that they don't have to. This is what makes it so easy for clients to work with us," said Therieault.

"What contractors do not realize is that their client referral base is changing. People spend less time socializing these days, making the casual referrals contractors have come to rely upon less likely. In addition, Yellow Pages are virtually obsolete," says Ms. Therieault. The time has come for contractors to leverage cost effective, measurable techniques to market their trade and promote their business on the web. At the same time, contractors can't afford to spend a lot of time away from their trade, which is why they should work with the industry professionals at Contractor Website Solutions.

Joyce runs programs throughout New England teaching contractors about the Internet. "Contractors leave my class amazed when I show them exactly how many people are online looking for their business," says Therieault. "The world is changing and our goal is to help contractors leverage the Internet to increase profits, without breaking the bank."

The Contractor Website Solutions division was designed to offer one-stop-shopping for all contractor industry Internet solutions. CWS has built website templates to suit every contracting trade as well as offering custom designs.

CWS not only offers economical contractor website packages, hosting, online advertising, contractor marketing services and lead generation tools, they also offer coordinating contractor lawn signs and business cards.
