Features & Benefits of High.St

Benefits of Joining the High.St

www.High.St supports the traditional High Street and its small independent retailers and businesses. If you are a small business, we will give you a link to your own website for free, just contact us with the details, or, if you don't have a website, we can create a web page for you (see our sample pages) and link to that for just £120 plus VAT (conditions apply). The main benefit to you is a web presence with a company that is very well placed in the search engines, bringing you more customers.

Everybody can also benefit from our new High.St email forwarding service. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that currently use a hotmail, bt or similar address. High Street subscribers get an email address of the form: yourshop@yourtown.high.st - this looks more professional. All email sent to your new High.St address is virus checked and forwarded to your existing email address. This is an additional service, your current email arrangements are unaffected. Linking your High.St email address to a physical High Street address is natural and makes it very easy for customers and suppliers to remember. A High.St email address is never forgotten.
