I have rented my condos for a few years now without a website. More and more I see that having a website to link to would be a really great asset for my rentals.

I would love to win the website because I recently started a nonprofit and I need help to get our grass-roots campaign off the ground. The Think Blue Initiative was created to:
1) Educate as many people of all ages as possible about aquatic and marine environments and the crucial role of water in human existence, as well as about the growing global water crisis. Rather than providing the simple transmission of information, instead we seek to impart the inspiration to become engaged and involved in finding solutions.
2) Encourage the conservation and preservation of aquatic resources and marine ecosystems, while acting with the knowledge that the hydrological cycle permeates every layer of existence on our planet, and, in fact, is what makes life on Earth possible.
3) Support and promote scientific research and programs with a focus on matters which relate to water.
I started a Facebook page, but in order to really get started and make a real impact, I desperately need a website. It seems like these days you don’t really exist today unless you are on the web, particularly the demographic I am most interested in reaching and inspiring. So, in other words, I need to win the website so I can encourage everyone to Think Blue so that we can save our planet one drop of water at a time.

Hello Jason and Karen,
Karen and I own a small (17 unit) condominium rental management business, Resort Condo Services, which has been in business for just 4 years now and manage condos for other owners at Celadon, Sunrise, and Calypso. We have a great domain name, VisitPCB.com, but our website was built for us several years ago on an old release of DotNetNuke.
We are not graphic designers and the site is very difficult to use. With a professional site that is optimized for search engines, we feel like we could really improve our Internet visibility and our overall rental revenue for all of our owners. We would also like to open up our site to online bookings but that is really not possible for us to do.
Thanks for the consideration and best of luck to all! Great contest!!
PS: Enjoyed meeting you and Karen at last year’s Wine and Music Festival!!

Jason,
Lucinda and I are thinking of starting a new business here in PCB that re sells gently used beach equipment. Chairs, umbrellas, pop-up canopies, the stuff the tourists leave behind on the beach that winds up in the land fill. Our site is http://ReBeach.com and while the idea is in it’s infancy, the concept is basically ReCycle, ReNew, ReUse, ReBeach! ReBeach – A Greener Way To Do The Beach!
I don’t know if there would be enough support for this kind of product but we would offer a buy back program for tourists to encourage them to do something else with the chairs (and other equipment) they only used for a week other than putting them in the landfill here. It is in line with the new Countywide Panel to Research Recycling Programs and may qualify as a green business.
All items would be sold at a discounted price to vacationers needing the chairs and umbrellas and other items we would carry.
We have registered our domain name, and I have contacted the Mayor, the director of sanitation, and the President of GCCC about our idea and how we might be able move forward with it. We will be applying for start up grants and we are currently still trying to determine if there actually is a market for this kind of thing.

My business is undergoing a transition and truly needs a facelift. I offer services that allow people to remain in their home while they recuperate from an injury, illness or age-related difficulties. My clients often are elderly, living on a fixed income. The recession has hit them very hard and many struggle to pay for anything beyond the essentials – housing, food and medicine. Yet these are the same people who are the first to offer their help and are a wonderful untapped source of information and talent.
I am focusing my efforts to form a new business model called rePURPOSE. This is a volunteer co-op that will match the needs of its members within the group itself. Volunteer hours are donated, then calculated and assigned a value that can be redeemed for services. Monies generated within the co-op can be used to make bulk purchases that benefit members.
My inspiration comes from a client who has struggled with severe physical limitations for decades. She needs assistance for many daily activities which she has to pay for on a very limited budget. This same woman makes a weekly trip to the hospital. It is where she volunteers on Tuesdays.
My paradigm shift demands I find a way to offer her the services she needs at no cost. Allow her to use that money to buy paper goods at a reduced cost. And let her spirit soar as she helps another.

Hi Jason,
My daughter Kerry and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a professional webpage! When we bought our dream beach condo in 2006, we purchased a domain name, but did not know how to create a website to go along with it. Our family has had a love affair with Panama City Beach since the 80’s, when my husband, three daughters, and I – with a fold-up camper in tow – discovered Paradise and the sugar-white sandy beaches and clear waters of Panama City Beach at St. Andrews State Park. My husband’s life ended in 2002, but the tradition that he began lives on. He would be very proud of his ten grandchildren who look forward to this trip with their “Country Grandma” every spring. Family spring break at Panama City Beach has been an annual event for us, and this year we rented three condos in addition to staying in our own! Speaking of our condo – we DESPERATELY need a professional website to promote our special place in the sun at one of the “World’s Most Beautiful Beaches”… Now more than ever.
