Following on from the firm's launch of its BizSpark and DreamSpark programs, the computing giant is now launching WebsiteSpark in a bid to draw in IT professionals or those with a web design career.
Under the deal, companies pay just over £60 to participate at the end of a three-year period, during which time they will be able to access Microsoft's tools and technologies.
