Africa.com Names the Top Emerging Websites of South Africa

ALL, South Africa - June 10, 2014 - PRLog -- Africa.com is proud to announce the Top Emerging Websites of South Africa. In recognizing emerging websites, rather than those managed by large companies, Africa.com seeks to inspire South African entrepreneurs, bloggers, artists, and small non-profit companies to join the global digital community.

Africa.com seeks to help everyone with a dream to realize that it is possible to achieve those dreams online.  You don’t have to have a lot of money, or a lot of technical skills to have a website in this day.  “Anyone with access to a computer and the internet can create a website to fulfill their dreams of starting a business, publishing their own writing, showcasing their art, finding customers from around the world, creating a community of like- minded people, or pretty much any dream imaginable,” says Laura Joseph, Director of the South Africa region for Africa.com.

Africa.com believes that fostering small enterprise development will play a large role in stimulating the South African economy, and in turn, create jobs for South Africa.  Recognizing emerging websites and showcasing their success is a way to encourage and motivate others to follow suit, and to take a leap into the global digital marketplace.  “We wish to congratulate all of the Top Emerging Websites for their accomplishment in achieving this recognition,” says Teresa Clarke, Chairman and CEO of Africa.com, and the former international judge for the South African Bookmarks Awards (The Bookmarks Awards are given by the DMMA to South Africa’s largest digital publishers).
