Vator Teams Up with WebsiteSpark on Cool Web Developer Competition

Vator has teamed up with WebsiteSpark to find leading Web developers, designers and development teams. As part of this effort, there's a WebsiteSpark Web developer and designer competition in play. The winner takes home a $5,000 development/design contract, an XBox or Zune HD, a featured video and profiles.

The winner will also receive software from Microsoft WebsiteSpark, including three Web site licenses for Visual Studio Professional, Expression Studio 3 (1 user), Expression Web 3 (up to 2 users), Windows Web Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 Web Edition.

Additionally, they'll get premium access to Microsoft’s new business leads pipeline, one year of free Windows Web Server hosting from WebsiteSpark Hosting Partner, a case study done of your business, co-produced with Microsoft, a featured Web Pro interview in monthly WebsiteSpark Newsletter, and consultation with a Microsoft marketing professional to talk about future business strategy.

For those not aware of the initiative, WebsiteSpark is a program that was launched last September. A sister program to Microsoft BizSpark, WebsiteSpark is for independent Web developers and designers, or small companies with fewer than 10 employees who do contract work and build client’s Web sites/Web apps, like an outsourced dev shop. WebsiteSpark provides these Web Pros with extremely low cost MS development tools, and new business leads – customers who need work done, who are passed to WebsiteSpark Web Pros.

WebsiteSpark is a three year program involving a $100 fee, which is payable upon program exit.

To enter the competition, join Vator TV and register your company and then get the word out for your friends, customers and fans to vote.
