August 22, 2007 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web hosting and Internet services provider Aplus.Net (http://www.aplus.net) has acquired a New York-based Internet marketing and website development company, WebImage (http://www.webimage.com), it was reported yesterday. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
WebImage provides “premium Internet presence solutions” for small businesses and offers a “highly streamlined approach to volume web design”. The company caters to small-to-medium-sized businesses looking for a single business partner to provide a full Internet presence solution including design, hosting and marketing services.
“We firmly believe that the remaining 40 percent of small businesses that have yet to establish an Internet presence are unlikely to rely on do-it-yourself web design solutions,” explained Aplus.Net’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Gabriel Murphy. “Instead, they will demand a complete Internet solution with web design, hosting and marketing services fully integrated into one package. The acquisition of WebImage offers a significant component to our focus on providing a fully integrated Internet presence solution to small businesses. WebImage’s reputation for providing high-quality web design services based on a streamlined, efficient process was very attractive to us. The company is far ahead of other bulk web design firms in terms of their value proposition, quality of design and process efficiency.”
“The WebImage acquisition furthers our vision of providing a broad portfolio of web presence and software services to small- and medium-sized businesses,“ added Aplus.Net’s Chairman, Tyler Newton. “By bringing together these two companies, Aplus.Net advances its position as a leader in the fragmented web hosting industry.”
“We’ve worked hard to make the WebImage brand synonymous with excellence and value, and we have complete confidence that under Aplus.Net, with its distinctive history of technological innovation, that reputation will grow even stronger,” commented Felix Rodriguez, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of TSV Group – the company that founded WebImage.
