We continue to add new features, highlighted this year by our Dynamic Web Site Package and MediatorDirect Program.
Our Dynamic Web Site System allows you to have a web site of any size that you completely control much like a Word document. See our review. We offer over 60 different web site styles and custom design. We make it easy for you to look great and be found on the web.
Our MediatorDirect Program provided over 19,000 click-throughs to listed mediator web sites during the fourth quarter of 2002! These listings allow you to be displayed at the top of every page of Mediate.com for all visitors from your selected area code(s).
In addition to our over 20 Sections and over 1,000 articles, see our new features Mediation in the News and Google Mediation Search.
For the coming year, we will be introducing our new Affiliate Sales Program, our Featured Family Attorney Program (nearly half of our visitors read materials regarding family and divorce conflict), TrainerDirect Program and streaming audio and video services.
Some of you will remember our original animated logo. For your viewing pleasure, here it is (you should refresh this page to see the animation):
