The program, dubbed "Florida Get Your Business Online," will bring free websites to smaller companies across the Sunshine State that don't currently have the budget or expertise to put one together.
As part of the program, Google will provide its popular Intuit Websites that include an easy-to-build design, a customized domain name and free web hosting for one year.
Florida businesses interested in participating can go to www.floridagetonline.com to get the free website as well as tools, training and resources to help their business succeed online.
Google also will be providing free workshops to small businesses in Miami on April 3 and April 4 and at the Tampa Museum of Art on April 5.
While 97 percent of Americans browse the net for products, about 68 percent of Florida small businesses do not have a website, according to Scott.
“Small businesses are the backbone of Florida’s economy,” Scott said in a statement. “This initiative is aimed to help these businesses grow in Florida.”
