CMP Technology Unveils Redesigned Website for SOHOCommunity


MANHASSET, N.Y., Sept. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- CMP Technology today unveiled a redesign of its SOHOcommunity website, SmallBizResource.com. The redesign builds on the success of the existing website by focusing on delivering practical advice to people running small/home offices.

SmallBizResource.com now includes two new online tools provided by business partners. The first enables users to get free, confidential advice from SCORE, America's premier group of small business counselors. The second enables users to ask their peers for advice via a public forum operated by Yahoo!

In addition, SmallBizResource.com has been redesigned for small business users offering more content, much of which centers around "how-to" tips on business and technology topics.

Management of SmallBizResource.com has been taken over by Light Reading, a CMP business unit with a track record of creating highly successful community websites. The move also reflects greater coverage of telecom services targeting SOHOusers in SmallBizResource.com.

"Our mission is to deliver the most valuable business and technology information to small office and home office decision makers," said Kate Spellman, publisher of SmallBizResource.com.

AMD, a leading global provider of innovative microprocessor solutions, continues to underwrite the site as part of a program to showcase its technology superiority and to support retail enterprises.

"Small office and home office owners help drive our economy, and as the exclusive technology sponsor of this site, AMD is pleased to continue supporting a site which helps these owners make smart choices about technologies, products, services and support options," said Stephen DiFranco, corporate vice president, Consumer Sales and Marketing, AMD. "This redesigned web site offers an enhanced 'one-stop' portal for small business owners and entrepreneurs that can help them make effective decisions about every aspect of their business."

SmallBizResource.com's email newsletter, sent out each Tuesday and Thursday, has also been redesigned. It offers valuable tips for managing a business and free offers and discounts on business products and services from industry-leading sponsors.
