1&1, the leading web hosting provider in Europe (http://www.1and1.com/), introduces new features for 1&1 MyWebsite which enable small businesses and freelancers to easily create their own professional business website and be found online.

With the new Online Business Card for 1&1 MyWebsite businesses can be found with their most important contact information within minutes. Data such as company name, postal address, telephone number, e-mail address and location from Google Maps is visible even while the website is still under construction. With this, companies can be found online, even if their final website hasn’t been published yet.

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

1&1 MyWebsite users also have the possibility to easily create entire 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 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 customized by changing the background color or arranging the elements differently.

Now it’s 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 comfortably via 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 minimal time.”

In order to facilitate the decision for a business website, 1&1 MyWebsite Basic is now available for $0.99 per month. All business rates contain a free domain, 500 e-Mail addresses, 50 GB of web space, unlimited traffic, and a 30-day money back guarantee as well as 24/7 support via phone, call-back, e-mail, or online chat.
