Monroe, CT (PRWEB) April 8, 2008 -- Better Homes and Gardens® recently selected The House Designers (www.TheHouseDesigners.com) as their exclusive online home plan provider based on THD's best in the industry home plan collection and unmatched customer service.

This new partnership between The House Designers and BHG.com began January 8, 2008 and can be found here at the BHG's new http://houseplans.bhg.com house plan section.

This new section on BHG.com offers consumers a diverse collection of over 4,000 house plans in every size and style with a best price guarantee, 100% satisfaction exchange policy, free designer consultation, free modification estimates and free shipping.

"We were interested in developing innovative partnerships for 2008 when I heard that BHG.com was looking for a new house plan provider. We immediately contacted the Meredith Corporation," said Tammy Crosby, CEO of The House Designers. "After educating BHG.com about our website and how we outmatch our competition, we worked out an agreement that would allow BHG.com visitors to link to TheHouseDesigners.com to search and purchase house plans."

THD is the fastest growing home plan website on the internet with nearly 6 million page views per month and first page search results on over 600 keywords including 'home plans', 'house plans', and 'floor plans', the most searched terms in the industry.
