Hampton Roads-Tidewater Virginia News Portal
The next phase of a Hampton Roads-Tidewater Virginia information site has been completed. www.tidewater-virginia.net features articles, news, events, photo galleries, a business directory, online store, and more.
A representative explained the project, saying "Our research shows a strong interest in the Hampton Roads region by online audiences. The project seeks to provide audiences with a one stop resource for visitors, residents, and small businesses of the region."
Small business owners have a variety of free services available on the site. Basic features include press release and article submissions, as well as standard listings in the site's directory. In addition to basic free tools, the site offers paid advertising and an array of other promotional tools.
Features also available for non-profit organizations. The directory has categories for civic groups, charities, government agencies, and other non-profit organizations. Another feature of the site is an online store which includes a collection of books, maps, art, gifts, t-shirts, sweatshirts, golf shirts, and other apparel.
According to the site owner, "Our goal was to provide an easy to use resource that brings together vacationers, local residents, business owners and organizations; the site now offers those tools."
www.tidewater-virginia.net serves the Tidewater - Hampton Roads communities of Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, Chesapeake, Hampton, Virginia Beach, and Suffolk.
