Webii.net DELIVERS APPETIZING NEW WEB-BASED SERVICE TO area restaurants who want a bigger piece of the pie

Affordable, easy solution will help local eateries attract customers with online ordering

AUSTIN, Texas --  Webii.net (WebXess, Inc.) announced a turn-key website solution that caters specifically to a local food-service industry that craves simple, affordable technology to streamline their restaurant businesses -- and reach more hungry customers who would rather order in, or online.

Although Central Texas is one of the most wired cities in the country, a relatively small percentage of restaurants have established websites.  Even fewer have websites that are capable of taking orders online.

Webii.net’s new service allows most small and mid-sized establishments to offer web-based ordering features to expand their customer base and compete with corporations and chains in the Austin area.  Webii.net’s new service was designed to boost revenue for Austin area restaurants and offer another level of convenience for the region’s Internet-savvy population. 

Webii structured the package to be affordable for the average restaurant owner, with a nominal fee that includes development of a new website and integration of the restaurant’s menu into an e-commerce system. Even small mom-and-pop shops can afford and manage online business, without creating unnecessary complications for their established brick-and-mortar operations.

“Websites do not have to be expensive. Most restaurants should recover the cost of this solution in only one or two months,” said Lui Chan, president at WebXess, Inc.

Popular features of the application include full menu browsing (complete with pictures), ingredient categorizing, customer review tools, discounting options, gift certificates and more.  A user-friendly administrative interface makes it easy for restaurant staff to manage menu updates.

Local restaurant owners and food service entrepreneurs can learn more about this opportunity by visiting www.webii.net.

- Austin, Texas. July 2005.  Web host and custom developer Webii.net (www.webii.net) kicked off summer 2005 with the release of new, highly-anticipated E-commerce web hosting plans with PowerCommerce software.

The three new E-commerce hosting plans are improved versions of Webii.net’s former E-commerce offerings.   The plans - E-Pro, E-Corp, and E-Enterprise – are priced starting at $29.95 per month.

Webii.net selected PowerCommerce, the latest software by Mercantec, for its innovative features such as a web-based site builder with drag-and-drop elements, and the “PowerSoftCart” shopping cart with added capabilities such as inventory tracking, coupons, customer registration features, an eBay listing tool and support for PayPal integration.  An additional PowerService option allows service-industry merchants to conduct reservations online.

Webii.net expects the expanded E-commerce features to help small and medium-sized business owners compete more easily with major commercial web sites.

WEBXESS ENGAGES IN CHANGE FOR A BRIGHT FUTURE
WEBII ADOPTED AS NEW COMPANY NAME

-Austin, TX.   February, 2001.  WebXess, Inc., an Austin-based Web Hosting Provider, recently underwent an identity change that may aid in the company's rapid emergence in the coming year.

The 5-year established company has chosen the name "Webii" (pronounced Web-i-i) to replace their former name for purposes of clearer communication and as a renewed outlook on the future of the hosting industry. "We see the name as an illusion for Web2, suggesting that we plan to work beyond any previous conceptions of the Internet," says Jacqueline Sinex, Operations Coordinator for WebXess, Inc. But perhaps more importantly, customers will no longer experience the frequent misspellings and crossings with other similarly named Web hosting companies.

The new name will be reflected along with a new logo, and will act as a DBA under the corporation of WebXess, Inc. While customers will still be able to access the company web site via www.webii.net , support and sales emails will be redirected to addresses ending in webii.net.

Lui Chan, President of WebXess, Inc. feels that the new name reflects a "refreshing identity with unlimited possibilities, however backed by years of experience and great customer care."

"It is in response to a new millinneum with obvious new media environments that we decided to make this switch."

WebXess was founded in 1996, with a target market of individuals and small to medium-sized businesses. The company offers Web hosting and E-commerce hosting plans, as well as Domain Registration services under its registration division, SiteReserve.com.

WEBXESS, INC. LAUNCHES AFFORDABLE REGISTRATION SERVICE

-Austin, TX. April 13th, 2000. WebXess, Inc. recently launched SiteReserve.com, a domain name registration service that allows consumers to acquire a domain name for $35. The $35 fee covers the two-year ownership of a domain name and the option to reserve the name on WebXess nameservers. As an incentive, WebXess offers to apply the $35 fee as a credit toward a hosting package setup.

SiteReserve.com’s new rate is comparably lower than that of many other agencies, which charge $70 to register a domain name for two years. Internet executives expect that the lower price will increase the rate of registering parties.

"I believe the low cost is a great benefit to Internet consumers, as well as the registering parties. Consumers might now be able to remember the name of their favorite site, which before had a very long set of characters. The site owners who hesitated at the thought of a $70 fee, now have an opportunity to become more visible for less cost," says Jacqueline Sinex, Project Coordinator for WebXess, Inc.

"As the quantity of personal web sites and online businesses increases, it becomes more important to spot a [domain] name that people will remember," adds Lui Chan, President of WebXess, Inc. "SiteReserve allows more of those sites to compete by offering a service that anyone can afford."

WebXess, Inc. states that SiteReserve was also created in an effort to provide an easy and straightforward registration process. A customer visiting SiteReserve.com can check a domain name’s availability as well as register and reserve it in one short process. The customer also has the option of ordering multiple domain names in one transaction. "Each step is in plain English," says Sinex.

WEBXESS ANNOUNCES NEW TURN-KEY E-COMMERCE SOLUTIONS
Leading Hosting Company Partners with Mercantec
 to Provide Easy Route to Online Sales

Austin, TX, March 7, 1999 – WebXess, Inc. recently formed a contract with Mercantec, Inc. in an effort to create an easy and affordable way for businesses to join the online market. WebXess will utilize Mercantec’s SoftCart Web store software as part of its new E-commerce solutions, which will offer individuals the opportunity to sell products or services on the Internet.

SoftCart allows a merchant to create a new money-generating site from scratch or to adapt an existing site to perform transactions. The software also calculates sales tax and shipping charges for the merchant’s customers, and select plans allow the merchant to create categories and attributes for each product.

Jacqueline Sinex, Operations Coordinator for WebXess, says she believes many individuals avoid creating an online store because they assume it is over their budget and requires skilled programmers. "On the contrary, our E-commerce packages are formatted to be easy for even the least experienced individuals, and the prices are beyond affordable."

WebXess hopes that the ease of Mercantec’s step-by-step store building wizard combined with the reliability of their Web hosting will draw more entrepreneurs to the Web. Mercantec’s Director of Marketing Mary Beth Pandolfo states that, "WebXess offers retailers the high performance Internet services and broad technical support they need in order to implement electronic commerce on their Web sites."

WebXess will offer three E-commerce packages, specific to the amount of products a merchant will sell. Each package will be bundled with features found in WebXess’ Web hosting plans. For more information on these services, please refer to:
