Lite: This is a one-off deal - you get an online "visiting card" consisting of a logo, one picture (optional), a description of you or your company with contact details and a JavaScript encoded link to your (existing) email address. The site will be hosted by a (European) "free" provider (usually they will place an advert to pay for the service), referencing will consist of submission to Google and Yahoo, as well as one inbound link. Maintenance is not included, but server changes are, for a period of one year. The site may stay online for considerably longer - removing it is considered an update. Payment is one-off; you must supply the logo, picture and other required information. The price is only €228, and eventual updates (on demand) are €113.
Light+: A second one-off service, including all the above plus: W3C Validation of the page. An email address in your name (of your choice) with a means of worldwide access by web mail. POP and other features may be included when available. €248 plus €83 per update on demand.

The choice of name is yours, but using common tld's only (.com, .net, .org and .eu) and is subject to availability. The web page we will create will be more elaborate, and may have several pictures, and in some cases a second page. Referencing will also be improved, with several incoming links provided and basic SEO with traffic statistics (aka hit counter) is included.

Listing in the Curlie Directory cannot be guaranteed by it's very (human edited) nature - a good result depends on the quality of the site and of the suggestion, delays vary - suggest once properly and forget ;o)
A good listing in Google cannot be guaranteed either - it varies over time - tricks to obtain such a position by doubtful SEO tactics are often punishable by total exclusion, so best avoided.
