Kurant And Website Pros Team To Provide Free, Easy-To-Use e-Business Solution To Small And Medium Sized Businesses

SAN FRANCISCO and JACKSONVILLE, FLA. Oct. 20, 2003 — Furthering their commitment to provide small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with comprehensive, affordable and easy-to-use e-business software, Kurant Corporation and Website Pros, Inc. today announced that they will offer free copies of Kurant`s award-winning e-business solution, StoreSense Starter Edition, to Website Pros` portfolio of 30,000 customers for two months. Website Pros` customers include small businesses, as well as large channel customers, such as American Express, MasterCard International and NFIB.

"The combination of increased household online shopping and the ability to set up an online store fast, easy and cost effectively, creates the perfect equation for all small businesses to set up shop online and succeed," said Curtis Pierce, president and CEO of Kurant. "Many small businesses are hesitant about the complexity and cost of setting up and maintaining an online store. With StoreSense Starter Edition, Website Pros customers now have the ability to try an entry-level e-business product for free and see firsthand how easy and cost effective it is to compete online."

StoreSense Starter Edition, an extension of the award-winning StoreSense platform, offers a suite of entry-level e-business tools designed to help small businesses get started selling on the Web. StoreSense Starter Edition opens the e-commerce opportunity to more small businesses than ever before. Designed and priced for new online merchants, who have been slow to adopt e-commerce technology due to the complexity and cost of products available, StoreSense Starter Edition allows merchants to begin selling online without a major investment of time or resources. Website Pros will be offering StoreSense Starter Edition under the name "Shopkeeper."

"We are excited about furthering our relationship with Kurant to provide our customers with StoreSense Starter Edition," said David Brown, president and CEO of Website Pros. "We have no doubt that many of our customers will decide they won`t be able to conduct business without an online store. With StoreSense Starter Edition, customers can start out with the basics and build upon the solution as their needs grow."

Beginning immediately, Website Pros will begin promoting the offer to its customer base via e-mail. This promotion is for Website Pros customers who purchase or are currently using the Website Pros QuikPage product package, a Web site building and hosting tool.
