Businesses: My standard web pages are
always free, and you control the content!
Unlike many web sites where anonymous reviewers may trash
your business, or you have to pay to get anything more than your name, hours,
and contact info, ShopInBerkeley allows you to write 100 words (or so) to
describe your business.
| Special for 2002: Restaurants
can have their menus posted for free
(if you provide me with a copy of it via email or disk). This
offer is good for the entire year or until you change your menu. Updates
will be $50 (good for one year). If you're not satisfied with your current
menu publisher, ask me about hiring me to layout your printed menu as well.
• If you'd like to have your menu posted,
sign up for a free page
,
and add a note at the bottom asking me to contact you •

If you're interested in having slightly more elaborate web pages
created and housed on the ShopInBerkeley site, please email
or phone me for low rates—especially those businesses who aren't sure if
they can or should have a presence on the web.

ShopInBerkeley is being developed by Lee Trampleasure Amosslee, a
Berkeley High science teacher and a third generation Berkeley resident. I’m
developing the site to help people shop locally. My goal is not to retire
from teaching (I love it too much), but to support local businesses in creating
a simple web site so people can find local business to shop at rather than
thinking they need to go to www.megacorp.com.
My goal is to provide a quality internet index to small businesses
in Berkeley. Many businesses don't have their own web site, and I provide
them with a low-cost, small corner of the internet. My goal is not to provide
highly interactive products and services, but rather to provide customers
and clients 24 hour access to information about:
- business hours
- products and services
- address and phone number
- maps to their business
- links to their own web sites (for those
who have one)
Our pages are designed for speedy download on ALL internet connections
with:
- no annoying ad banners from other businesses
;
- minimal and compact images;
- alternative text for all images;
- no Java, Javascript, or other “bells and whistles” codes that may
not run on older browsers.

Membership is free for eternity! Businesses
who wish to have additional web pages on the ShopInBerkeley site should click
the appropriate check box on the sign up form. I'll contact you with more
details. My goal is to provide a simple but content rich resource for businesses
and consumers in Berkeley.
