Solid Cactus Inc., a leading website developer and Yahoo! Small Business, a leading

intend to collaborate to provide small business customers with affordable website
design packages for the Yahoo! Merchant Solutions platform.

skills to customize the look of their store or the budget to allow for a unique
design," according to Scott Sanfilippo, Co-founder and Chief Operating
