Yola, a free website builder, announced it had surpassed 3 million users, tripling
its user base since January '09 by helping small and medium businesses
create, host and grow professional, customised websites. Yola's
drag-and-drop technology enables its users to create
websites that feature the latest, most popular business-oriented
widgets such as Google Maps, PayPal, Skype and YouTube. Because
Yola's users can build and host their websites inexpensively, the
company estimates it has saved its users a total of $120 million while
enabling their sites to draw in a total of 28 million global
impressions per month and 9 million global visits per month.
"Thanks to Yola, my company's website is professional instead of
stale," said Patrina Ozurumba, the owner of Next Steps Career
Solutions based in New York, NY. "I used the simple and free template
just before getting serious press on CNNMoney.com. With the new site I
was able to put my business's best foot forward."
"Yola gave me control over my website while saving me time and money,"
said Ling Hou, owner of the San Francisco-based tutoring service Ling
Ming Mandarin. "Before Yola, I was spending too much time and money
working with a web designer. With Yola's easy-to-use and professional
site builder I make my vision happen. I am thrilled to have a service
like this."
