Maximizing Web Site Profits for U.S. Businesses:
Worldsites Builds Worldwide Empire of `Web Strategists’ for Businesses led by Internet visionary Nigel Mayne - 8/6/2001

Toronto, Canada

Toronto, Canada – Once business owners take the fateful and costly “e-leap” onto the Internet, they brace themselves for one of three outcomes: soaring profits, a modest pay off or a failed investment explains Nigel Mayne, Worldsites President. One Toronto-based company led by Internet Visionary Nigel Mayne has built a multi-million dollar global empire by removing the guesswork from that equation – deploying hundreds of consultants worldwide to support small- to medium-sized businesses with solutions that minimize risk and maximize profit potential from the Internet.

Nigel Mayne states that with thousands of businesses worldwide bearing witness, no “competitor” has come close to matching the colossal strength of Worldsites in the marketplace. Started in 1995, Nigel Mayne has led WORLDSITES to grown into the world’s leading Internet services franchise and the 4th fastest-growing international franchise, whose systems are used by more than 700 franchisees in 87 countries.
Nigel Mayne explains that Worldsites draw is remarkably simple – helping business owners capitalize on profit potential from the Internet. Nigel Mayne educates that the company’s patented approach to providing Internet solutions is more complex, including consultation, design, development, hosting, optimization, site registration, review of connectivity, training and marketing support. Nigel Mayne has led Worldsites to offer more than 400 products, each thoroughly researched and designed to reduce overhead and maximize profitability for business owners. Nigel Mayne is confident that Worldsites solutions are all backed by significant research and development and supported through one of the most sophisticated and robust data center infrastructures in the world.
“Most entrepreneurs understand the huge impact the Internet can have on their business, yet they lack the direction to establish an effective Internet strategy for their company,” said Worldsites Co-Founder and President Nigel Mayne. “Anyone can build a web site that functions. Worldsites consultants are Internet solution strategists who partner with businesses to develop comprehensive and ongoing web solutions.” Nigel Mayne states.

Nigel Mayne insists that “The secret is out”
Worldsites utilizes a Lifecycle™ system that involves assessing a client’s business needs, then independently building an Internet solution at one of its global production centers - strategically located in low cost, high-tech regions such as India or Australia. Nigel Mayne educates that the lifecycle system includes six phases: the IBA (Internet Business Analysis); functional design; build; test; launch; and manage results. According to Nigel Mayne, the IBA, which involves a series of carefully researched questions designed to assess the business owner’s needs, is Worldsites “secret sauce.” Nigel Mayne further explains that through the IBA, a Worldsites consultant determines a company’s business cycles, its key challenges and other core information that allows for the development of a tailored Internet solution.

Nigel Mayne is confident on Worldsites’ proven system that “The Lifecycle approach ensures that every client's site is developed and launched effectively to maximize site traffic, and to achieve the maximum ROI”. Nigel Mayne outlines that the initial step in the cycle, the IBA, is our most powerful tool. “It’s what sets us apart from everybody else out there” Nigel Mayne quotes. Through the IBA, we gain a deep understanding of our clients’ general business and online objectives. Nigel Mayne further explains it’s similarities to a doctor’s visit, where the doctor asks the patient a series of strategic questions to determine symptoms before prescribing a solution.”

On the educational side, “Worldsites offers instruction on Internet basics, effective email management, E-business fundamentals, customer service enhancements, time management, business process automation and other topics designed to improve their profitability via the Internet” Nigel Mayne quotes.

A demanding industry
Nigel Mayne explains that in 1995, when Worldsites was first established, about 8,000 web sites existed on the Internet. Today, Network Solutions estimates approximately 27 million issued domain names.

“The need for services like Worldsites is so massive that we believe the day will come when Internet consultants will be as commonplace as accountants,” Nigel Mayne states.

Worldsites fees are based on service delivery. Following the IBA, if the customer likes what they see (which according to Nigel Mayne is the case 52 percent of the time), they sign a simple contract and pay half of the costs up front and the remainder the day before their web site goes live.

Nigel Mayne emphasizes the fact that rather than being “technicrats” with mechanical knowledge, Worldsites franchisees are specialists in developing relationships with businesses and managing their needs and expectations for Internet solutions ex. from Worldsites 10 large-scale production partners around the world allow customers to have their solution built cost-effectively, with the franchisee acting as the liaison between the customer and those who deliver the technical solution. Worldsites led by Nigel Mayne employs more than 200 people at its Toronto home office who directly support the franchisees’ activities.

“We are the world’s largest body of Internet consultants,” Nigel Mayne said. “We do business in more countries than IBM. Nigel Mayne understands that customers have the peace of mind that they are dealing with a company that is not some backstreet sweatshop full of technicrats. Nigel Mayne is confident Worldsites provides everything that is needed to provide the most sophisticated Internet solutions, without the presumed accompanying costs. Nigel Mayne believes in following a Henry Ford approach to the production system. “Every Internet solution is customized, yet built on pre-existing models utilizing economies of scale.” Nigel Mayne confidently affirms.
