What is needed to get a company on the World Wide Web and why. There are basically three categories:

1. Development Process
   
2. Types of Hosting
   
3. Reasons for Maintenance/Updates

	HTML		PHP
	DHTML		CGI
	CHTML		Java
	WML		Perl
	JavaScript		ActiveX
	Active Server Pages (ASP)		Visual Basic
	Databases		Flash

Other types encoded at this time are:

	Interactive product order form
	Credit Card transaction forms
	Shopping Carts
	E-mail
	and others.

We offer two categories of Web Site development:

1. Starter Websites - Several different pre-designed websites ready for your images and informational content.
   
2. Custom Websites - Websites designed around your company's services and/or products with a Look-n-Feel that reflects your organization.
   

Types of Hosting

Once your web site has been developed it needs to be published on a host server. A host server is a computer that is continuously connected to the Internet’s backbone and provides space to publish your web pages on the Internet. This allows World Wide Web users to access your web site any time or day.

We offer two type of hosting servers, see Website Hosting for details:

2. Windows
   

Reasons for Maintenance/Updates

This is the process that keeps the web site from becoming stale, boring, and outdated. Sections of a web site generally need to be changed/modified on a regular base. Things that would need to change could be:

	Special discount offers and promotions
	Addition of new products
	Removal of old products
	News letters
	Annual Reports
	Business addresses or phone numbers could change
