A Web presence, Sell on-line, Specialized web sites

Your information site. A nice design which tells your customers and the 'cyber-shopper' who you are and also list the products or services you have to offer.
Our sites allow you to change the content yourself; you can change the prices and description, add or remove your products or services when you require (or we will do it for a flat monthly fee).
Give your valuable customer the facility to purchase from the comfort of the office ,home or while on-the-go and pickup the order at a specified time. No waiting (in line). Accept the payment online or upon pickup/delivery (or even offer credit).

Don't think you business is too small or 'local' to offer an online shop. The endearment you receive by offering this convenience to your customers is invaluable. Accept credit cards and offer gift cards/loyalty cards.
Our Integrated POS solution (optional) which works with our online shop technology will alert your checkout station/barista of upcoming orders.

Specialized web sites are ones which do a combination of the above or something totally different. Online Banking, Medical, Social media, Shopping for deals and Real-Estate are a few examples of specialized sites.

web maintenance.jpg

We provide the following services at monthly or hourly rates:

1. Web site maintenance. This is a tedious task which will take away your focus from your core business. Simply contract us to change the content of your site for you. All you do is email us the changes or give us instructions.

2. Web site upkeep. This differs form the above. Above deals with changing the content. But a web site has a lot more work, for example you need to archive/back the site, delete old images, clear databases, etc. If you don't do this you will either slow down your site or run short of the web space you have purchases. Your hosting costs will increase when you run out of space due to old-redundant data/pictures/etc.

3. Upgrades and modifications. From adding new features (like payment gateways, subscription modules), new information pages (new menu items) to a 'new look', we may be able to offer you a better rate, especially if you consider moving your site to our fast servers.

Hosting:

Your web site deserves to 'live' in a place you know. We own our servers, yes we are not the 'cheapest'. If your hosting provider users a third party to maintain the servers or rent server space on busy servers, then you have two very potent problems; 1. Who has access to your information on the site, and, 2. Is a busy server slowing down you server access. It is a common occurrence from providers who say 'we had a server failure and we lost all our sites'. Did an unhappy employee delete all the sites and resign? We also administer our servers... no out sourcing here! Our servers are currently in the U.S.A. and Canada. We continue to add servers in diverse geographical locations. Wherever our servers maybe they will always be administered and owned by us.

Email:

Many hosting providers are reluctant to provide email servers or the charges are beyond the average business's affordability. We provide domain based email servers as part of the package to all our valued customers. Do you know that, although there are many great free service providers there is nothing more appealing to a customer than an email with your domain! get your own domain email such as owner@yourbusiness.com

1)Linux Servers (Many flavours: CentOS, RedHat, Ubuntu, BSD, etc):

Linux based servers are termed 'Open Source' servers. This is a great feature and many 'closed' computer systems have used 'Open Source' products to build their products. We won't name the 'fruits' of these products. A very popular Open Source operating system is Android which is based on Linux and Java. We build Linux servers and we use Linux servers. We have used Linux servers since 1998! Linux has been around since 1991!

Many would like you to believe that Open Source is un-reliable, insecure, etc. We don't think so. We believe any system, open or closed (costly) is only as secure as the people administering them. We believe the insecurity is a result of out-sourcing to unknown entities rather than the product itself.
The biggest advantage of Open Source is that the source code is free and you can fix bugs your self or, more often than not, a programmer somewhere in the world may have fixed it for you already, or the expertise is freely available at a reasonable cost.
The best part: updates are FREE! It is fair to say that ALL businesses (and even individuals) benefit from the Open Source movement. As for us the benefit is 'bitter-sweet'. As a capable and indepedent technology developer we lose a great deal of market share to 'IT/Web businesses' who use Open Source (and Out Sourced development) without the necessary technology/skill depth.
Did you know that many (if not all) Cellular systems, automobiles, phones and devices use Open Source Linux and Java?

Let us design and build your Linux server at an attractive service fee and hardware cost (no licensing fees).

2)Windows Servers (Microsoft - who else?):

We have experience building Windows Servers. As a desktop environment we love Windows and think the world of Windows 7 (Windows 8 looks promising). We have used Windows since Windows Version 1 (when it was a DOS application) and used Microsoft products since MS-DOS 1. We loved Windows 3.11 for Workgroups!
Yes, we have people with that much depth in experience! Looking for a non-hyped Windows server builder? Talk to us!

3)PICK Operating Systems (MultiValue/Reality):

The PICK/MultiValue/Reality offers a powerful database operating system for business. Developed in the 1960s for the U.S. Military the unique feature of this Operating System is the ability to use 'English like' statements to access data. We have developed systems in PICK and also developed an emulation in MS-DOS/Turbo-C during the early 90's which assisted us in developing robust business software for MS-DOS/PC-DOS.

4)Those 'BIG BLUE' Servers (IBM S/36, AS/400...):

Nope, we don't build them. But we have experience with working with them in Client/Server environments. We also believe that we were one of the first to integrate Windows 95 as a client to the AS/400, way back in 1996. We have coded in COBOL and RPG-II (the business programming languages of these servers). As your consultant we will provide you with a 'fresh look' at your requirements of big server solutions and integration.
