“It’s a win-win situation. The Web developers will be able to offer their clients a package complete with Web development and Web hosting. As a result, they’ll derive long-term profits from their customers instead of receiving a one-time payment. In turn, they’ll drive more business our way,” said Simon Macharia, customer relations manager with the company.
