1) Web Brochure: A web brochure is a small web site created by taking your company brochure and putting its information into an online format. This is a fast, easy way for a company to create a business presence on the Internet. It is practical and adequate for many companies whose main goal is to have a location where potential clients can discover them, learn a little about the service or product offered, and contact them for further information or purchase.

2) Web Site
: Some companies have more information to share than will fit in a web brochure and they will need a complete web site. Once you have potential clients on your site, you should provide them with as much information as they need to make a buying decision. Categorizing what your company offers into different pages and showing many successful past clients (with quotes if possible) is a great marketing scheme. We are happy to take the information you provide us and lay it out the way we think will work best, but you can also define how you want your site to look and we will follow that design.

Migration of Existing Sites: If you already have a web site, but you are not happy with your hosting service, or you would like it redesigned, or for any reason you would like to have us host it, please contact us. Our normal hosting prices will apply and there will be a migration and setup charge depending on the size of the site and what changes you desire.
Our competitive desire: The creation of your web site is where most of our effort occurs and this is reflected in our creation costs. Our prices reflect effort. The creation prices pay for the hours we spend laying out and programming the site. The hosting prices pay for the bandwidth, disk space, and the maintenance effort your site requires. This process requires less effort and therefore our prices also reflect this. You may find hosting companies with a lower creation price but they generally charge a higher hosting fee. If you maintain your web site for a number of years you end up paying more through higher monthly hosting fees. We strive to be very price competitive so if you find another web service provider with lower overall costs feel free to bring this to our attention.
We have been creating large-scale, interactive communities for over 6 years. We see the creation of smaller web sites such as your company’s as a new challenge and a refreshing diversion from the intense activity of coordinating the thousands of pages making up our community sites. We are experienced, efficient, enthusiastic, and economical - and we appreciate your business. Please feel free to ask for more information or contact us to get your company onto the Internet.
