Westside Marine Launches New Web Site

4/1/03: Port Townsend, WA: Westside Marine this week launched a new website for its core business, focusing on services, products, and information for the Western Washington recreational marine industry. Randy Powers, president of Westside Marine said "this website re-launch has been in design for some time, but we have held off on its development and launch until we knew what customers really wanted to see".  

Powers added "We feel that by focusing on our service as a cornerstone to the business, the products and information would be added benefits. We don't expect to sell anything online, but we do expect to provide valuable information to customers about our services and help them make informed decisions about products they are considering buying through us."

The Website design was done mostly in-house using some external resources, and utilized several utilities freely available on the web for site design, mostly javascript and free images. Powers added "There is a lot out there available on the internet to help build websites, most of it free or very inexpensive to obtain. You simply don't have to know a lot about HTML or scripting to be able to put together a good website these days."
