How important will your web site be to your business? Is it so critical that without a web site your business will fail, or is it more of a competitive advantage that increases your visibility in the market?  In this age of fast Internet access for nearly everyone, your business can only benefit from the instant exposure a website provides.

A domain is your unique identifier that enables a potential customer to simply type in your domain name into their internet browser and enter your site.  WWW.ANYCOMPANY.COM.

We can set up a new domain for you, or we can re-direct your current domain to our servers.  $16.00 annually - we manage everything, leaving you free to manage other aspects of your business.

This is a permanent address (known as a URL), and can be displayed on newsletters, flyers, business cards, signs, etc.

You get the exposure for your company 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

A single page web site may be all you need to garner the business of a paying customer.  We can load it up with a few phone numbers, an email link or two, a simple map, a few pictures, a few catchy words about your services or products - and you can sit back and wait for the rush. 

A more common type of site is one that has a link area that identifies the various chapters of your business, with separate 'pages' for each. 

Forms can be created for gathering information from your customers and can open the doors for more profits for you!

Your site may require areas that are often changed, such as dates or prices or events - we can provide you with secure database access to maintain the data yourself so that the information displayed to your potential customer is always up to date. 

Some things to note about graphics:

• A typical page can be assumed to use three to four images.  They will load fast and won't overwhelm the user.  Lower resolution pictures can be created that will load fast, and still not give up the quality you need to get your message across to the customer!
• More complex picture galleries can be created that use the typical grid of small images (known as thumbnails) that can be clicked to expose the full-size image in a new window.  Several styles of galleries are available, with titles, caption areas, and even sounds for each picture.
• Any electronic picture format can be made to work, whether from a digital camera, an image created with a graphics program, or even scanned by us from a print.

And a final note about graphics:  They help you sell your product or service.  Period.  The old adage about a picture being worth a thousand words could never be more true. 

The overall size of your site (as in disk space) can be a factor in the cost.  A five page web with fifteen or so pictures doesn't cost anything over the annual storage fee of $75.00 (only $50.00 for a single page web). 

Add in the annual domain name service ($16.00), and you're looking at keeping your company exposed to more than a handful of computer owners for around $7.50 a month.  Hundreds and perhaps thousands of potential customers can view your advertisement without you lifting a finger.

The Internet isn't just a fad.  Take advantage of this new technology to increase your bottom-line.  And take advantage of BESEENONTHEINTERNET to put you there!

You may or may not need a genuine database for your web site.  A simple database can be integrated into your site that will allow you to 'modify' your site whenever you wish.  The appropriate add/modify/delete functions will available to you as the owner of the data, with password protection for those functions.

Data can be incorporated from existing data (spreadsheets, text files, or other databases), or we can start a fresh application. 

Forms for gathering information from your customers will be available to them to use 24 hours a day, while you concentrate on other aspects of managing your business.

Somewhere along the way, someone is going to have to determine just what we want the whole thing to look like. 

Many times this is a matter of finding an existing site providing a similar product or service as yours, and designing your site to be similar to theirs. 

Another approach is to expand on the printed literature you are already using to promote your business, enabling your potential customer to view and explore as much as you want to expose to them. 

We'll work with you in establishing a site that reflects your own view of your business, and how you want to present it to the world - for that is what you are doing.  Presenting it to the world!

If you want your site to be found by the typical search engine, a set of key words will have to be established, and then submitted to the various engines.  We utilize a proven tool for submissions, as well as techniques to imbed tags within your pages to increase your 'value' to the search engines.  Everyone wants their site to be listed near the top of any search, and we can help.

Identifying other web sites to link to is another way to gain exposure - such as trade organizations, a chamber of commerce, special interest organizations, etc.  We can assist you in working with these assets.

There are many avenues for exposing your site.  We'll work with you to take advantage of the latest methods.  The important thing is that now you will have a URL line on your business card that will allow the cardholder to view your organization at their leisure - and see the view of your business that you wish to present!
