Startup Open Strategy offers links to host of biz & strategy tools

New startupIf you run an Online startup or any kind of business on the Web, then this particular startup Open Strategy launched last week could be of immense help.

It’s no secret that most of the Online biz need help in the forms of tools & services like social media networks or Content aggregation Sites. Open Strategy does just that – it provided you with an aggregated listing of tools to help you implement strategies & get your job done easily.

If the idea is simple, the ue of the website is easier still. Links to tools are grouped into different categories. You’ll find tools for everything – from consumer research to Online analytics, social media monitoring, user testing, ad planning/strategy templates, etc.

So a startup looking for tools to implement its various strategies will find it easy to come back to Open Strategy every time it needs a tool for something specific, instead of having to search the Web & decide which tool is best or most suited for its needs.

No doubt it’s more convenient that it’s all aggregated in one place, & that they have taken the trouble to categorize tools. But the best thing about it is that each submitted tool has gone through a review process before getting listed, which makes it all the more better.

This not only means that the tools will be tested & found to be good enough before being listed. It also means that each tool conforms to certain required criteria for submission. This includes that it should be under one of the predetermined categories, & it must be free or have a paid trial period of at least two months.

Creators & developers who want to see their tools published on this new startup can create an account on the Site, & submit their tool with a name, URL & short description. That’s all it takes.

Open Strategy is currently in beta, so you’re bound to see some improvements & additions going forward. For instance, they’re working on creating a mobile version of the Site right now.

Open Strategy was developed by the It’s Not Rocket Science team that includes strategists NYC-based Jonathan Colmenares, London-based strategist Matt Butler, & Paris-based art director Adrien Laurent.

Freewebsite.com, new startup

Hey Ma, look, I got myself a free website!

So you have come Online to do business? Or simply want a personal website but don’t want to pay the big bucks for it? Fret not, for now, you can get a free website designed with this new Internet startup called FreeWebsite.com. What’s more, you get free Content as well as SEO with it, too.

Setting up a new Internet startup can be very tricky if someone has no idea of where & how to start, especially if they are new to the Internet way of doing business. It can be a very daunting task, & expensive, too. Since the Internet is increasingly becoming a tool for businesses, organizations & professionals to brand themselves & do business, a website has become mandatory, at the very least, to establish & maintain a presence Online.

Websites need to be professionally build & designed. Either one needs to have a knowledge of coding or else needs to hire a website designer for the job. But Freewebsite.com provides you with a quality site, real fast, for free.

cooltext921482906Launched recently, this US-based new Internet startup is essentially run by three people – Jeff Spicher who is the Chief Executive Officer CEO, a web developer with a track record of over 10 years, Dustin who is an SEO expert & deals with the optimization of Sites, & Corey, the server guru. He is responsible for all the hardware & maintenance of equipment to maintain the operations. The three together take care of all the ground work to ensure that customers’ websites are up & running, & maintained. All that a client has to do is sign-up for free, give the idea of what business they are in, & a professional looking website is delivered, all for free.

Jeff has explained the rationale behind starting the business of providing free websites in the About Us section.”All we really want to do is create a culture of great looking websites on the Internet. We refuse to accept that in the year 2012 people are still forced to get ugly or expensive websites that hurt people’s eyes and bank accounts.”

These guys insist there are no hidden costs. (We had no time to verify this, completely, though prima facie it does seem free). But if you do want upgrades & add-ons to your Site, then you need to choose from Paid plans. A Premium plan comes for US $9, Pro Plan for US $7 & the Plus Plan for US $4 a month. The basic plan is good enough to begin with, but there’s limitation to what one can do with it. Plus, the guys host your domain for free…now that’s a plus & a saving. To boot, they also provide Web content related to your website, which you are free to edit later, if you so want.

Compared to other similar free site providers, Freewebsite.com promises not to stuff your website with ads. And if you don’t like what you get, there’s a money back guarantee, too, provided you want your money back within 30 days after sign up.
