Governor Charlie Crist recognizes 123YourWeb as the Fort Lauderdale Small Business of the Year

Fort Lauderdale, FL (November 2, 2009) – Governor Charlie Crist stopped into the offices of 123YourWeb on Monday to honor the growing web development firm as the 2009 Small Business of the Year, awarded by the Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce. The recognition is part of the Governor’s ongoing awareness efforts surrounding Small Business within the state. Earlier this year, the Governor announced October to be Florida Small Business Month to help shine a light on the role small business play within our communities.

According to the Small Business Administration, Florida is home to nearly 2 million small businesses, which account for more than 60 percent of the new jobs created here. The Governor’s efforts are not only meant to support traditional industries, such as tourism and agriculture, but also highlight newer arenas, such as biotechnology, green technology and digital technology. As a custom website and software developer, 123YourWeb is an excellent example of a growing small business forging new ground in the digital technology arena.

“It was such an honor to meet Governor Crist and show him what we do here at 123YourWeb,” said Jeremy S. Schwartz, President and Founder. “He was very interested to know that our main clientele are also small businesses. The real secret to the success of 123YourWeb is that we are truly a middle ground between large big-budget agencies and small single-service freelancers. We provide a full range of highly professional services at very affordable rates.”

123YourWeb is highly regarded in the Fort Lauderdale Business community. This is the second time 123YourWeb has been recognized in the Small Business Category, receiving an honorable mention in the 2007 Small Business of the Year awards. The firm has also received a Gold Addy from the Advertising Federation for 123YourWeb’s creative work in the area of Flash Technology for websites. The company’s most recent Flash Technology project is available at CleverCrazes.com, an education site that is entirely interactive and designed to help kids develop strong habits in health and fitness.
