Free web service provides webmasters everywhere with the ability to increase profits by making their sites more visually appealing
Atlanta, June 5/Imagion/- ShrinkTheWeb (http://www.shrinktheweb.com), the premier offering from Imagion’s “Creativity Initiative” is moving out of BETA to provide unique design tools based on website thumbnails. With an exclusive PRO feature set backed by great support and coupled with the most extensive free basic service in the industry, STW is bound to be a favorite of webmasters worldwide.
ShrinkTheWeb offers a powerful and full-featured free service for which similar snapshot providers charge a varying and substantial fee. STW goes one step further by adding affordable, fee-based “PRO” features not found elsewhere. “We basically just asked several hundred webmasters for a ‘Wish List’ and then designed the innovative PRO feature set around that. Judging from the high number of testimonials we received in such a short time, I believe we have achieved our goal of designing an easy-to-use system that pays for itself by increasing conversions,” says Brandon Elliott, CEO of ShrinkTheWeb.
Previously, webmasters were rarely able to use similar services due to reliability issues, high costs and implementation difficulties. STW overcomes these issues by offering a proven and robust service; basic features for free and simple integration using just one line of standard HTML code.
With ShrinkTheWeb, webmasters can increase profits by making their sites more visual. One commonly accepted fact is that people, by nature, are visual creatures. Website previews provide a form of visual imagery, which stimulates the viewer’s interest and increases trust. Mr. Elliott notes that, “When a user sees a preview of the link they are about to click on, they feel more comfortable clicking. This improves relevant clicks while minimizing bounce back.” These benefits have already pulled in members from 23 countries and show that ShrinkTheWeb should be a fascinating service to watch.
