Local Free Classifieds...

Iliamo.com, the "Tri-State's Online Marketplace," offers free classifieds to individuals and free help wanted ads to businesses.  And that's just the beginning.

"We want our site to be a place to sell your couch, car or house, and even more" said Eric Thomas of ETC Computer Solutions, operators of the website.  "We want Iliamo.com to be an online destination for the Tri-States, to be a true marketplace where buyers and sellers of all kinds connect."

To that end, ETC has created a searchable database of local businesses, developed free classifieds software to make posting and viewing classified ads easy, and customized a bulletin board for clubs and other non-profits to post news about themselves. Together with an events calendar and other features, Iliamo.com (which stands for IL inois - I ow A - M iss O uri) is fast becoming the marketplace it wants to be.

What kind of website do you need? Q: What should I look for when shopping for a website? A:  When shopping for a website for your business there are four main elements to keep in mind: image, functionality, cost and support.  A competent, professional image puts your company's best "face" on the web, while features like shopping carts, contact forms and product showcases will help your bottom line. As always, it's important to watch costs - but keep in mind that "you get what you pay for."  Because of the technical nature of websites, it's also important to know that you'll have ready support after the sale.
