Toronto-based web development company, Your Web Department announces the creation of a MAD program for Multimedia Artists and Designers. "There are thousands of young multimedia artists and designers who are looking to establish themselves in the industry and to build a credible portfolio of work," commented Malcolm MacTaggart, YWD's Managing Director. "The MAD program provides an opportunity for multimedia artists and designers to have their work published and to build a name for themselves. It pays $500 for three web templates approved for incorporation into the YWD product. It's a win-win-win for the artist, our clients, and our product," added MacTaggart.

Your Web Department is a monthly service that offers website and email capabilities, in addition to a do-it-yourself content management system, web-hosting and other web tools, for the SOHO/SMB market. "YWD is designed for those firms who are serious about doing business on the Internet - without requiring them to be in the Internet business," explained MacTaggart. According to Stats Canada, fewer than 40% of Canadian private firms have a website. Typically, the biggest obstacles relate to cost and fear of getting it wrong - this is the void that YWD addresses.

Your Web Department (www.yourwebdepartment.com), is a leading provider of hosted content managed website services for small and medium sized firms. "99% of our customers don't care about how the system operates - they just want it to run, and be there for them, all the time. Your Web Department takes away the pain and complexity. We think this is a pretty novel approach. It's designed to allow anyone who can create/save and cut/paste with the ability to control their own web destiny - easily and affordably," commented MacTaggart.
