Why Do You Need a Web Site?
Because a Web site is one of the most popular ways to interact with
current and potential clients, customers, readers and friends.
It is also one of the most popular ways to advertise and promote
a business or cause.
Take a look at any typical advertisement in a magazine or
newspaper or even a phone book. Nine times out of ten, you'll
see a Web site listed.
That's because people want more. They want more than just a
picture or a price. They want information, and they want lots of
it.
It's Cost Effective
It used to be that Web sites were expensive and exclusive. That is
no longer the case. Compare the costs. A typical Web site is often cheaper than a single
quarter page advertisement in a local newspaper!
Information - a Little or a Lot
Imagine if you had an entire magazine dedicated to
your business or concern... That's a heck of a lot more
information than you'd be able to place in a regular
advertisement. Show your products or describe your ideas with no
concern for space limits!
Exposure
An Internet Web site doesn't
limit you to your local community. Now the entire world can see
what you offer or what you do. You'll get interstate and
international exposure for the same price as local. Imagine the
possibilities.
Inform, Sell or Both
Your Web site can be used to convey your thoughts, share
your ideas or sell your products. We can set you up with an online store or a more simplistic site that
enables you to speak to the masses. Worried about updates? Want something hassle-free? Although we make it easy for you to update your
own site, we can also do it for you.
Costs
The Domain Name
The domain name is your Internet address (www.yourname.com), and it must be registered.
The cost is $9.95 per year or less. We can process the registration for you at no extra cost.)
Hosting Service
The term "hosting" refers to the service that places your site on a server and posts it to the Internet.
Hosting costs vary according to the amount of space your site requires. Generally, $25 a month or less should provide you with excellent
service.

What is Technical Communication?

editing, proofreading, document production, and even extends to such services as system testing and documentation.
These types of services often include extensive research and require the writer to dive in and learn new technology, processes and procedures.

technical and professional writing services.

HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley are just two acts that require businesses to
document their policies in regard to privacy and accounting practices. We can help you document these
requirements so that you are covered in the event of an audit.
Disaster Recovery
Disaster recovery doesn't just pertain to worst-case scenarios. Disaster recovery
also encompasses procedures that can be followed in the event of illness, hardware or software failure, physical and

disasters that can affect your business or your staff.
