Thank you to everyone who helped us promote this contest and to all those who entered.

The contest is now closed, and we will be picking the winner on January 7th, 2009.  Check back soon to see who won and how the project is progressing!

If you’ve got a crappy website, December is your lucky month!  Spiderhost in Orlando and J Allan Studios in St. Petersburg are offering two organizations a free website makeover – and since you’re here reading this page, it could be yours!

If your own, manage, or are in a position to make authorized decisions for a business, think your organization’s website is in dire need of sprucing up, and can agree to the terms below then November may be the month your website wishes come true.

Dawn Frohman, creative director of Spiderhost, will pick the winning Orlando organization.  Why is she doing such a nice thing?  “It’s no secret there are a lot of crappy websites out there,” says Dawn.  “We’re trying to fix that, one website at a time.”

Justin Elza, lead designer at J Allan Studios, will pick the Tampa Bay winner and adds, “We see a lot of crappy websites and say to ourselves, ‘We could help them!’  This contest is our way of reaching out to those businesses.”

“There really aren’t too many restrictions,” says Dale Frohman, Spiderhost’s president and the contest’s creator.  “We know not everyone can afford a world-class website, so this is our way making it accessible for a couple Florida businesses.”
