Ask a professional website design company to build a website for you and you're probably looking at a minimum of £1000 (around 1600 USD) just to get you going, plus a 6-week or so wait while they put it all togther, plus continual follow-on charges every time you need some non-trivial change making. The net result will most likely be very competent and in some cases will look fantastic but, even so, many people just don't have £1000 to spend on a website or 6 weeks to wait for the first version to appear! At the same time, most people don't really need all the sophistication (and associated headache) of a "full-custom" website - all they really need is to get something decent-yet-professional-looking up and running in minimal time and at an affordable cost.
With Mummy Bear you can design your own high-impact informational website using our easy-to-use online tools, all for a very reasonable £11.96 (around USD 19.14) per month including tax. It's quick, it's easy and it's very affordable - plus you can try before you buy with our no-obligation 14-day free trial!
Your Mummy Bear website design is stored on our web servers in an ACID-compliant SQL database, is backed-up every 24 hours, and can be altered and updated - again using our simple online tools - by you, whenever you need and at no extra cost. It could hardly be easier!
Each Mummy Bear site is effectively a rich-media presentation having the same structure as a book (chapters, sections, pages, etc), incorporating whatever text, images, audio, video and Flash animations you require in order to showcase yourself, your business, your project, your club or your whatever to an international audience. Your content is then displayed by our software (i.e. in a visitor's web browser) in the most dynamic and exciting way possible. You can also establish email communication with any visitor to your site who is sufficiently interested to register their details. (Mummy Bear automatically initiates a free 14-day trial for any visitor who registers with any Mummy Bear website; in other words, Mummy Bear is inherently self-propagating, and most probably exponentially so.)
One particularly cool feature, which is expected to appeal very strongly to customers in continental Europe and other multi-lingual territories, is the ability to build multi-lingual Mummy Bear sites - over 200 languages and 30 writing systems are currently supported. A Swiss company might have a Mummy Bear website presented in five language versions - French, Italian, German, Romansh and English - or an Azerbaijani site might be presented in three different writing systems - Latin, Cyrillic (each flowing left-to-right) and Arabic (flowing right-to-left). In each case, the content, including images, audio, video and animations, can be made specific to each language version. (As a result, the traditional language barrier is no obstacle to Mummy Bear's potentially exponential self-propagation.)
In short, Mummy Bear is an inherently self-propagating international business providing significant added value to a very large market sector, designed to operate globally from day one and expected to grow exponentially thereafter.
The Mummy Bear service is currently at the detailed technical implementation stage and is expected to come online sometime in 2010.
