Our network includes other sites to post classified ads for:
Our state-of-the-art web architecture allows to propose several new services to clients.
Our web platform allows to offer new services to individuals as well as boat brokers and dealers or real estate agents for docks and slips ads.
Our platform allows to generate at any given time a high resolution PDF document to provide distributed printing using the printing on demand technology. This document is compatible with Adobe In Design architecture and templates. It can be included in a pre-press environment through xml updates.
Monthly editions through a magazine can then be published and printed for local distribution. This architecture gives the possibility to generate trageted "regional" editions : North East, North West.... as well as international editions by country. The print on demand technology allows the UK edition to be printed through a UK printer while the California edition would be printed in a Los Angeles shop.
Subscribers can as well opt for the PDF version through a subscription if they want to see it online.
We are looking for investors interested in backing up the development of this web platform.
New funds will allow extended promotion to the yachting professionals like boat dealers, brokers, marina managers....
Our integrated solutions allow professionals to promote their inventory through their own site using our applications.
Investor Shares are available starting at US $50,000 : each share gives a 1% ownership in the company.
