TravelWise Merseyside has added an extra exciting benefit to joining its Wise Moves Club.

Members can now call on expert help and advice from their very own Travel Plan consultant.

A brand new consultancy support package is available to help promote and progress Travel Plans at organisations which join the Club. This site-specific service is free and the consultant will provide support for a full year.
Each organisation needs to match this consultancy support with their own member of staff who will work with the consultant at their premises.

Further details and application forms are available at the Travel Wise website. The closing date for applications is 18th January 2008.

A Travel Plan helps organisations to enable staff, visitors and suppliers to reach their premises easily and efficiently. It can reduce parking needs and congestion, ease recruitment and retention, offer better travel subsidies, improve the health of staff, the image of the organisation, and improve environmental performance.

The ever-wonderful Lifehacker website has an interesting article on how you can have your own professional looking web domain and website using free online applications.

Today you can buy a domain name for around 10 bucks a year (or less) and map it to a variety of free web-based apps for no-mess and no-cost hosting. Typical commercial web hosting starts at around $100 a year and comes with clunky webmail and apps you have to set up yourself. Instead, you can have a full-featured web site with multiple spacious email accounts, blog or static web page hosting, and other services for free.”
