<description>Young entrepreneur sets up web design and promotion business and offers free web health check for businesses with or without a website&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Web Together, a Leamington Spa based business set up by an entrepreneurial graduate, is offering businesses in Warwickshire a free web health check.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;To mark the launch of his business - which delivers intelligent website design and promotion - Adam Ulivi, aged 24, is putting his knowledge to the test and offering local businesses, with or without a website, a no strings attached health check of their current web presence.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Adam said: "All too often businesses pay too little regard to their web presence. In 2007, the Federation of Small Businesses said that less than 50% of small businesses had a website. Even those that do have one could be missing the point about them altogether. The most important part of your website strategy is not the design of the site, but promoting your site in the best way to ensure visits and ultimately sales.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;"It's a two fold process. A well designed and built website will appeal to customers, but they need to be able to find it in the first place. This is where our expertise in targeted online promotion is invaluable. We know the methods, tools and tricks to get a website to the top of any search engine list."&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;After completing a degree in Computing at The University of Glamorgan, Adam was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug and set up his own business: "I didn't want a typical nine to five job. I gained a lot of technical expertise doing my degree and have since built on this to develop my wider business skills.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;"By researching sales techniques and reinvesting thousands of pounds in different advertising strategies to promote various websites, I developed the skills and confidence to turn that knowledge into a business venture."&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Web Together are so sure that they can make any website work hard for its owners that they claim their websites will pay for themselves. Any customer who is not completely satisfied with Web Together's service will get their money back.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Web Together's health check service reviews a business's current online presence, recommending ways to maximise this through design and navigation solutions, backed up by intelligent search engine optimisation and online promotion solutions.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Businesses who think they could benefit from a free web health check should go to www.webtogether.co.uk for full details.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Ends.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;</description>
