New Millennium Technologies (NMT) has created a recipe for dishing out all-business, five-star web sites at a price that’s easy to swallow. The company calls it SiteChefs. SiteChefs’ professional designers serve up easy-to-manage web sites by combining web 2.0 ingredients with a heaping of marketing smarts. The budget-conscious web offering is designed to deliver all the competitive advantages of web and social media marketing at a fraction of the cost of truly custom-built web sites.

"It’s important to note that this is in no way a ‘build-it-yourself’ web platform," NMT Creative Marketing and Design Director Steven Jackson says. "We pair each company with one of our ‘chefs’ who works with them to deliver a unique branded presence, intuitive interface, and tons of robust ingredients." After the site is online, customers receive the simple, no-experience-necessary tools (and a treasure trove of members-only tips and tricks) needed to provide up-to-date and engaging content to the readers. These "gourmet" ingredients include multiple functionalities, such as calendars, galleries, multimedia capability, interactive forms, mailing lists, subscriptions, blogs, dynamic news, statistics, video, photo galleries, and social media.

"Instead of taking weeks and possibly up to $20,000 to develop a component or technology on a web site, we leverage mostly OpenSource tools and do it for a fraction of the cost," NMT CEO Larry Stolz explains. "And we can do this in five business days with the clients’ assistance." He continues, "Our expertise in the selection and assemblage of those tools enables us to provide clients with affordable solutions they own and can easily change and update themselves. Our job is to be creative in how to apply and design the technology to work for our clients."

In addition to developing its SiteChefs platform, NMT offers a fully integrated, world-class professional team that specializes in web design, software integration, e-commerce, business IT consulting, and online marketing for full-scale corporate web businesses. At NMT, the talented staff sees opportunity developing between the eroding lines dividing traditional marketing and sales, the web, and the social media marketing world. "We’re finding more clients are open to leveraging this new media to advance their brands," Stolz explains. "Ninety percent of what we do is applying unique and creative capabilities to best achieve the right solution for each client. Our new product, SiteChefs, is a perfect example."
