Corporate Presence Web Sites can range from a one page introduction to the company, to very elaborate sites with product information, service call handling, sales contacts, information gathering, company database accessibility, public relations, and whatever the imagination can create. The skills and flexibility of the Loose Links crew can handle it all. Present and potential clients for corporate sites:

Search Engines are sites for searching the World Wide Web. It is essential for a web designer to understand the process of finding sites on the web through search engines. No matter how good the site, or its product, it will not be successful if people do not visit it.
 |
Loose Links understands this complex field and how it works. Designing and submitting pages for easy access from existing search engines is our ongoing objective.
|
Information and Reference Sites are encyclopedias, dictionaries, medical reference, programming reference, or information on any subject. Many are government, organizations, and library sites.
 |
We can design a reference site as a part of a corporate site, or as a free-standing site. This is an excellent application for database design, in which two of our crew are proficient.
|
On-Line Communities offer chat rooms, personal web page space, bulletin boards, entertainment, help and information, etc.
 |
On-line communities require servers and high capacity to service their users. We are currently capable of setting up this type of site for a client including the hardware and communications.
|
Personal Home Pages are the personal pages that individuals create to share with the world who they are or what they like. Most are built by the people who own them and they vary widely in what is offered, from one simple page with a picture and some text to complex themes offering information and links to a subject(s).
 |
Most personal pages are done by their owners, but we are open to the possibilities.
|
FTP Sites for the transfer of information either free or for sale. The files transferred can be text, pictures, music, video, programs, or any type of information stored on a computer.
