This was a very easy choice for our review panel; your pioneering work has been a model of the web community for years. I admire your contributions, respect your efforts, and here are a few reasons why. Helpware and Community - serving the local Bloomington and surrounding Indiana community since inception, in recent years you have expanded your presence and unselfish assistance right along with the Internet to include a global reach. Your Tips and Tricks are as sound fundamentally as any out there.

Design and Artistry - what many may miss with just a simple glance is the complex usability built into this enormous resource. Occasionally, committed web designers will genuinely strive to make a web site available to visitors of many shapes and platforms.

The Beeline goes way above and beyond all that by offering the visitor their own choice of navigation and appearance. Truly a user-friendly sacrifice to emulate. Advanced Technologies - more than just a community mecca, your full-featured web hosting service avails all tools the contemporary web enterprise requires. AIRS is more than just another directory, it is a sensible approach to producing the scope of information the user's geography demands. Commercial Business - providing digital services and products in a professional, yet friendly environment is The Beeline's hallmark. From the enlightening purpose and mission, to the straightforward technical support and step-by-step explanations, any business seeking quality Internet operation would be well-served to contract your company. I have attached this award along with Elite Site Award. Míc, best of all is your exceptional personality.
