1&1, the leading web hosting provider in Europe (www.1and1.co.uk), is introducing new features for 1&1 MyWebsite enabling small businesses and freelancers to easily create a professional website which can be found by potential customers easily through search engines.

The first of these new features is the Online Business Card. Even during the set up process and before the website is published, data such as company name, postal address, telephone number, e-mail address and location is imputed and made visible to web browsers.

Another support on the way to a perfect website is the new Setup Wizard, which guides users through the creation process of a website via step-by-step instructions. With everything from choosing the right domain, personalising the design to setting up an e-mail address for the company, the Setup Wizard shows users the most important functions for an easy and fast website setup.

1&1 MyWebsite users also have the option to create subpages by simply adding preinstalled sections to their website via drag & drop. These sections consist of different combinations of elements like text boxes or pictures.  The new sections are a great alternative compared to adding and editing single elements; especially when presenting special offers, services, news or photo galleries. Sections adapt automatically depending on the chosen website design and can be further personalised by changing the background colour or arranging the elements differently.

Now it is also even easier to edit website content. All the editing features are displayed in a new user interface, which allows a more intuitive and faster change of page elements. Every feature is touch optimized enabling users to update their website when they are away from their desk with a tablet.

Robert Hoffmann, CEO 1&1 Internet SE, adds: “We constantly work on optimizing our products in order to pave the way to online success for small businesses and freelancers. With the new features for 1&1 MyWebsite we enable businesses to set up a professional website more easily and cost-efficiently and give them a chance to be visible online with their most important contact information in a minimum of time.”

1&1 MyWebsite Basic is now available for £0.99 per month. All business tariffs contain a free domain, 500 E-Mail addresses, 50 GB web space, unlimited traffic, a 30 days money back guarantee as well as 24/7 support via telephone, e-mail, chat or call-back.
