Is this a website builder?

Part of it is. You can build a website with just a few clicks. No programming skills are required to customize the built-in templates to your business. We also provide all the hosting necessary to keep your site running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The other parts include advanced web tools to help you advertise online more easily, and to improve your service to existing customers.

The combined features create a Web Advertising System for businesses and organizations. This system is indeed so unique we call it a "neon".

What exactly is a neon?

A neon is a set of integrated web tools designed to advertise a business or an organization on the net. The tools include an interactive website with real time customer service, detailed list of products/services that are search-engine friendly, photos and videos, online service requests or product orders, appointments and reservations, maps, promotions and coupons, etc.

Behind the website is an email engine that offers customer opt-in subscriptions and marketing campaigns.

The business owner can also choose to network with others to share marketing promotions and to maximize exposure.

Why do I need it? I am already too busy.

You may be busy enough, but you could also become more profitable. Every customer can become a repeat customer. Businesses, due to high advertising costs, do little to bring them back for more, or to generate referrals.

The good news is, almost everyone increasingly uses the Internet to look for information and to make buying decisions. Proper online tools can now give them the information, and help your business grow without the expense.

What type of business works best with a neon?

Think as a customer. Before you choose a business (for example, restaurant, dry cleaner, mechanic, real estate or loan agent, repairman, beauty salon ...), regardless of whether you have previously used them, do you usually:

look up the phone number?
call for hours?
make an appointment?
call to ask about the menu (or services)?
order by phone before arrival?
ask about the prices?
look for items on sale?
ask around for recommendations?
request an interview to get more info?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, chances are, those businesses need a better tool to help you, the customer, choose - anywhere, anytime.

We believe, in order to stop online prospects from clicking the Next button, businesses need to provide much better content on their websites.

How do I make a neon?

It really is simple. Just type in the name of your business, choose a design, and start picking the services you want to offer to your customers. You may want to read the Quick Start Guide.

Many of the business categories will already have some samples to get you started. You can literally get a neon up and running in less than 60 seconds!

What if I already have a website?

Most business websites offer limited abilities for customers to interact and to make decisions. Many websites require paying someone or the owner to have some level of programming skills to update the contents. A neon website solves these problems and offers much more.

In addition to the extensive features, you can also network with other businesses online while maximimizing your business visibility to search engines . Making a neon website and cross reference your own website URL. It's not any different from promoting your site on craigslist, facebook, myspace, etc.

Use your neon website as the primary one, or just turn on those features to complement your existing website.

How do I get my customers to use my neon?

If you already have a website, you could add a link to your neon. Use the current method to advertise your website to promote your neon.

Here's a huge difference however. Since a free neon website offer more ways to get your customers engaged, you might want to promote and print your neon website address (or your domain name if pointed here) more aggressively, for example, flyers, classifieds, in-store thank-you cards ...

How much does it cost?

As with many useful services and utilities on the Internet (email comes to mind) that are free of charge, neon websites are also free to make and free to use.

There may be an exclusive feature or two that incur a small fee, but those are rare and totally optional. You will also have an opportunity to advertise on this website if you wish.

What's the catch? Why is it free?

The Internet is tremendously useful because the information is free on most websites, and it is fairly easy to access using technologies such as search, web browser, email, blogs. (You just need to get your information into the right place.)

Free netneon websites and tools, just like Google, Yahoo, craigslist, facebook ..., are all part of the Internet evolution.

While using these powerful technologies is free, not using them correctly or at all to help customers choose you, could prove to be very expensive.

Our revenues come from partnerships with large, national companies. It is that simple.

Can I make more than one neon?

Yes. You can make a neon for each business, or division that offers different lines of products or services. You can even make a neon for a specialty product or service. For example, real estate agents can create a neon for each of their listings, include photos or videos, and specific details or actions for each one.

By using your email address and password, you can access and manage all of your neons in one convenient place.

Will there be ads on my neons?

It is up to you. You will be able to join a business group of your choice, choose ads that appear on your neons, and also advertise on other sites.

Or, you can simply choose to have no ads and your neon website would still always be free!
