To offer custom-designed websites; customers can use site management tool or purchase monthly packages for maintenance.

Dotster, Inc., an ICANN-accredited domain registrar and hosting company, yesterday announced that it has signed an agreement with Akmin Technologies, a provider of web-based software products, to provide SiteGalore-powered professional website design and maintenance services for customers.

The Dotster We-Build service launched yesterday provides professional design services for websites up to 10-pages in length. The company says that customers can choose to maintain their own sites with an easy-to-use site management tool or purchase a monthly maintenance package for $19 with up to three hours of professional design time every month.

Each package includes the one-time We-Build service plus website hosting at $5.95 per month, claims Dotster. The five-page site building service is $365 and the ten-page site building service is $650.
 
"Given the tight budgets of small businesses, a 'productized service' like We-Build is ideal because it joins the expertise of professional web designers with the price advantage of a do-it-yourself website builder like SiteGalore," said Prashanth, CEO of Akmin Technologies.
