CorFun, a leading provider of Joomla-powered Websites has announced a new division focused on small and micro-enterprises. The new division, Visitme.biz, will provide pre-packaged solutions for companies and non-profits which need a lot of online power, but at a price they can afford.

CorFun CIO Glen Chancy explained that companies need a fiexible platform so they can start reasonably and grow their online presences over time. "A local church or a small business comes to us and needs to go online," Chancy explained, "Often they have either never had a Web presence, or they had one that wasn't very effective.
