Canadian web hosting firm switches to WiseNav to ride the Web 2.0 wave
iCommPlus, a rapidly growing Canadian hosting service provider (HSP) based in Ottawa, Ontario, has become the latest HSP to select the WiseNav product suite. Significantly, iCommPlus is so convinced of the potential of WiseNav to satisfy the needs of the new generation of Web 2.0 consumers, that it has selected WiseNav as its only website development platform.

Rob McLeod, the CEO of iCommPlus, chose WiseNav after reading an article about the company in the Ottawa Citizen's Tech Weekly Section. McLeod said: "I went to the site and tried the software. It was easy - really easy. And it was cool - one can never underestimate the cool factor when it comes to consumer products!
"The WiseNav staff welcomed me with open virtual arms. When was the last time that a CEO asked you ‘Tell me what you think, be critical’ and then actually listened to the answer? So I let him have it and 40 transatlantic minutes later I had decided on WiseNav."
When Time Magazine named "You" the Person of the Year it heralded that the fact that today's digital consumers have also become today's digital content producers. WiseNav satisfies the needs of these ‘prosumers’ by providing an easy to use web development tool that enables the least technology –literate consumer to produce a media-rich website within hours. It frees consumers, small businesses and not for profit organisations from all the constraints and complexities of HTML template-based tools.
As a result, iCommPlus.com has decided to market a fully serviced WiseNav Enabled Hosting (WEH) account with all the tools needed to be able to easily create and maintain Rich Media enhanced websites – a combination of fast servers, enhanced storage and high quality bandwidth.
Mike Hensman, CEO of WiseNav Inc said: "Web 2.0 is changing everything. There is a new breed of web user and it takes a new breed of web hosting company to understand how to satisfy their needs. ICommPlus is one of these visionary service companies and we are delighted it has recognised the power of our product at such an early stage in its development."
"We chose WiseNav because we could build the website ourselves and include multimedia content just by dragging and dropping. The very attractive costs and caring support from the company and its partner iCommPlus came as a real bonus."
