Z57 Announces North County Expansion

SAN DIEGO - Z57 is proud to announce that in two and one-half years, the company has grown from the two co-founders, Steve Weber and David Baird, to over 70 employees. The company was founded December 1998 in San Diego in a 400 square foot office space in the Miramar area and has expanded it to 9000 square feet this past July 2000. The opening of this second Z57 location at 5431 Avenida Encinas in Carlsbad is an exciting next step in the firm's aggressive business plan.

President Steve Weber states, "North County was a natural choice for the expansion of our real estate web development division. The location is ideal for our employment needs. Our corporate culture will thrive in the business climate of North County." Steve Croll, Vice President Sales / Real Estate Division, will head up the Z57 operations. Jesse Hill, Sales Manager, will manage the sales team. The company intends to add 18 full time people by the end of July.

Z57 started with an initial $2000 self-funded investment and currently projects $4 million of revenue for 2001. The growth of this profitable Internet service firm from designing web sites for three local San Diego clients to their current client base of over 5,000 in all 50 states has been fueled by the firm's innovative scaleable web site design systems and knowledgeable sales force. Z57's primary target market is small business combined with the vertical niche REALTOR� and insurance agent markets. The web site product design and the sales approach is customer friendly and affordable.

With over 25 U.S. million small businesses (with less than 40% with a web site according to Prodigy.com), Z57 has designed an instructive development approach for the many business owners who have little Internet knowledge. They need domain name registration, web hosting, e-commerce solutions and a web site that can be easily upgraded when they are ready to. Through a sales / consultation process, a Z57 associate walks a prospective customer through the process of developing their web site for them. This one-on-one direct approach is appealing to technology-overloaded business owners.

Z57 is a full service web development firm. The firm is a member of the Better Business Bureau Online. For more information, contact Tim Johnson at (800) 899-8148.
