Network Solutions® is unveiling our newest community, LinkTogether™, created specifically for Web designers and developers. Our goal is to create a place to grow business, leverage tools to increase productivity, and even save some money.

We got some great coverage here and here.

It’s free to join and there’s so much to take advantage of.  As a Web professional myself, I thought about the five (5) reasons web developers need a great community:

1.) Showcase your portfolio to peers and potential clients – LinkTogether™  allows you to create a profile and display a portfolio through the member directory.

2.) Central marketplace for apps and templates – LinkTogether™  offers the ability to download apps, Web site templates and fun stuff shared by members then post your own original content to be rated and reviewed.

3.) Ability to connect with your peers for help and networking – LinkTogether™  has a platform to connect with other developers and designers for discussions, advice and tips.

4.) Learn relevant best practices – LinkTogether™  increases your knowledge and ability to find answers with a variety of educational resources such as original whitepapers, and video tutorials.

5.) Understand how to manage your clients better – LinkTogether™  helps you improve client conversations using Smart Guides and educational videos.

So, what’s the catch? Nothing. It’s free to sign up and become a member and get started.

We have created LinkTogether™  to help you spend more time doing what you love to do. We are offering a community where you can network with others like you & share ideas about your business & make business connections. Rarely is someone an expert in everything. It’s easier to specialize in what you’re good at. So when a job requires expertise beyond your own, LinkTogether™ provides you an opportunity to connect with others seeking work.

Once you are a member, if you decide that you want to dive deeper and access additional resources, a Pro Membership is available for a monthly subscription of $19.99 where members can access over 7,000 Web site templates, over 40 customizable legal and business documents, and receive exclusive discounts on services from Network Solutions®.

This is just the beginning of LinkTogether™, so check it out and tell us what you think. We would love to know where you think we should take this site and other great ideas you might have.
