PROVIDENCE – Ananke IT Solutions has launched a new Web site design service for businesses looking to create a new Web site or tweak their existing one.

The new service, Web123, offers three Web design packages: basic, moderate or progressive.

The prices range from $1,700 for the basic package, for a site with up to 5 separate pages, to $3,500 for the progressive package, for a site with up to 10 pages.

The sites can be created in as little as two weeks, according to Ananke.

The new division is being led by Eric Emerson, a Barrington resident who teaches graphic and Web design as a member of the continuing education faculty at the Rhode Island School of Design. Emerson has been working in Web design for more than a decade.

“Eric brings a wealth of creativity and subject-matter expertise to the Ananke organization and we are very excited to have him leading this team,” Paul Sousa, Ananke’s vice president of business development, said in a statement.

Ananke decided to launch the new service after a number of businesses approached the company and expressed frustration with the difficulty of building and maintaining a quality Web site, Sousa said.

The company is also offering Web hosting starting at $4.39 per month.

Ananke IT Solutions is a provider of IT management, consulting and staffing services to companies of all sizes. The Providence-based firm, founded in 1994, has a second office in Lake Success, N.Y. Additional information is available at www.ananke.com.
