    WWW Research

    If you are planning a new site, we can research competitive companies or organisations on the World Wide Web for you. We have extensive experience in WWW search engines and we know where to find any information you may be looking for on the Web. If you have an existing Web site and aren't satisfied with the results we can perform a site analysis and compare it with competitive offerings. Based upon our findings we will make recommendations about content that may improve the overall effectiveness of your Web presence.

    Domain Registration

    If you choose a site with your own custom domain name, we will assist you in filling out the forms for domain registration. After choosing a domain name we will check to ensure that the name has not been reserved already. Then we will review the form for errors and help you make the decision of who will be the administrative contact. After the forms are filled out and submitted to the InterNIC Registration Services we will track the application until the process is complete and your Web site is fully functional.

    Quality Assurance & Testing

    After your Web page design is completed, we test your pages to ensure that each page can be viewed with any of the Web browsers you specify. Some browsers are feature rich and other browsers are very limited. We work with you to decide who your intended audience is and what browsers they may be using. We will test your Web pages with the Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Explorer, Air Spry Tools, CompuServe, America On-line and Prodigy browsers. This will guarantee that you will be satisfied with the presentation of your page based upon your audience.
