Horner said, “and with 80% of all home based and small business that do not have a web presents The DBS Site Builder/Trellix
alliance is a timely answer for these small businesses."

businesses and home offices in the United States, and the vast majority of them do not have a professional or effective Web
presence. “We believe, with the ease of a business to create their own web site with the DBS Site Builder powered
by Trellix, our company, hands-down, has the industry’s best technology foundation necessary to attack this huge mass-market
opportunity,” said Sammy Horner Doorwayto.com Inc., chief executive officer. “That is the reason we provide a
no obligation 30 day free trial with no strings attached, 80% stay.”
The DBS/Trellix Publishing Platform partnership will allow clients to build their own web

“The traditional Web hosting market is littered with technical offerings that bewilder
everyday small businesses,” Horner said, “DBS Site Builder will deliver the sensible, easy-to-manage solutions
that these companies can use to succeed online including assisted site-building services. With DBS Site Builder if you

doing business today to find and serve their customers. Unlike big businesses, they have no data centers and no dedicated
IT staff. They need someone else to do all this on their behalf. Together, we can now provide on line software tailored to
small-business needs.

tools and then turns the site over to the customer’s control for up-dates. With DBS Site Builder the customer can then
make the day-to-day changes and customize the site with the user friendly site builder and then call in DBS when it comes
time to do higher value-add-ons such as e-commerce.
“Trellix gives us all the essential tools and services we need to provide exceptional
value that lets these businesses achieve their online marketing goals.” With the web site design assistance plan, in
which professionals help customers conquer the initial barriers to creating a web site, the DBS Site Builder then makes ongoing
