Today's featured sponsor - Portfoliositez!

Today's featured Competition Sponsor is Portfoliositez!

"Portfoliositez.com was started in Oct. of 2007 by Jamie and Jen. Jamie graduated with a Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in Photography, and Jen had been programming website templates for photographers since 2004. We felt that there wasn't an easy cost effective way to get a website when you are just starting out which led us to the 'leasing' idea. We came up with a business model where clients could lease a template for a low fee and switch templates when ever they would like, as often as they would like, for a small setup fee. We also wanted to prove that a company can exist and grow without having to be cut throat, shady, and/or skimp on customer service. We are very proud of the fact that we can run a successful business without outsourcing any support, programming, or anything for that matter" (from their About Us page) 

Portfoliositez is offering THREE prizes... a year service, or individual flash template to be hosted offserver, a flexsitez service for a year, or free flexsitez to be hosted offserver, and a free flexcart! That means a brand new website for you with some amazing bells whistles! I've always had a Portfoliositez template & not only love the what they offer but their Customer Service is unparalleled! If you're not yet familiar with their products & services, go check them out!  Find them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter!
 Thank you Portfoliositez, for your generous sponsorship for this competition!
