"Microsoft wants them to be able to realize their full range of creativity by making it easier for users to build their own sites. With this contest, we hope that participants will help demonstrate the wide-range of innovation and personal expression that is possible by using Microsoft and the SWsoft SiteBuilder for Windows."
Students must register, create an original Web site using SWsoft's SiteBuilder solution, and submit their Web site. The contestant that receives the most public votes will win.
"We're excited to give students a simple and easy way to explore Web hosting who may feel intimidated by HTML or general Web site creation knowledge," says Kurt Daniel, VP of marketing, SWsoft. "The added benefit to the SiteBuilder contest is that college students will also be introduced to Web hosting through the free six month hosting offer from Dotster, a leading Web hosting company."
