VISTAPRINT EXPANDS WEBSITE PACKAGE TO CONSUMERS

Company Delivers Inexpensive Website Design Capabilities Aimed at Everyday Sites

Vistaprint N.V. (Nasdaq: VPRT), the company that provides high-impact personalized products and services for small businesses and the home, today announced it has extended its user-friendly website offering to cater to consumers looking to create personalized, high quality websites. Similar to the company’s website offering geared toward small businesses, these websites are a great value when compared to competitors, with packages starting at just $4.99 per month. As with many of Vistaprint’s electronic services, customers can try the website offering for free, with trial offers available in all packages.

With its home and family customers in mind, the Vistaprint software development team augmented its already robust but simple website builder to allow users to conveniently create their personal websites in just minutes. In addition to easy-to-use design tools, Vistaprint has added new features to help customers personalize websites to fit their individual needs. These include a guestbook that allows website visitors to post messages, create registry links for weddings and baby showers and send eNotes to keep their friends and family up to date with new content on their sites.

“With the success we have seen with small businesses adopting our website solutions packages, it just made sense to expand our offering to include designs for events such as weddings and baby showers as well as for customers looking for a personal website. Our convenient do-it-yourself tools coupled with quality designs and templates create a recipe for great looking website designs,” said Jeremy Pallai, product marketing manager at Vistaprint. “Vistaprint consumer websites are ideal for our customers who might not know how to create them on their own but want a site for an event or to share content with their friends and families. Meeting the needs of our customers was vital in the development of our consumer websites offering, much like it was when we launched them for small businesses.”

Whether it’s a website for an upcoming event such as a wedding, a birth, a family reunion or just a personal site to share content with friends and family, Vistaprint has created hundreds of templates to help get started. Customers can simply select their design and begin populating their website with images and text. They also can choose a template that matches a previously ordered invitation or postcard. Customers looking to create a website can do so by visiting: www.vistaprint.com/personalwebsites.

In addition to consumer websites, Vistaprint offers consumers convenience by providing printed products they can hold confidence in. Products include high-quality and low-cost printed products such as business cards, personalized mugs, return address labels, and banners; promotional apparel including hats and custom T-shirts; and marketing services such as websites, copywriting, email marketing, design and postcard mailing. Ordering products from Vistaprint is easy; customers just go online, 24 hours a day, design their products and order with the click of a mouse. Most products can be designed, ordered and received in as little as three business days.
