3. What is an Internet site?

4. What is a Intranet? 

An Intranet is a network based on TCP/IP protocols (an internet) belonging to an organization, usually a corporation, accessible only by the organization's members, employees, or others with authorization. An intranet's Web sites look and act just like any other Web sites, but the firewall (security) surrounding an intranet fends off unauthorized access.

Like the Internet itself, intranets are used to share information. Secure intranets are now the fastest-growing segment of the Internet because they are much less expensive to build and manage than private networks based on proprietary protocols.

5. What is an Extranet? 

An Extranet is a new buzzword that refers to an intranet that is partially accessible to authorized outsiders. Whereas an intranet resides behind a firewall and is accessible only to people who are members of the same company or organization, an extranet provides various levels of accessibility to outsiders. You can access an extranet only if you have a valid username and password, and your identity determines which parts of the extranet you can view.

Extranets are becoming a very popular means for business partners to exchange information.

Each web site is given a unique address. This address helps the browsers to locate your site and display your pictures and text in different sizes and effects. The best way for someone to find your site is to know your address. You will give your address to potential customers. You will print it on letters, envelopes, brochures, business cards, and promotional items. It is just like giving your phone or fax number.

16. How many pages make up a site? 

As many or as few as you need. The idea is to have your information divided into sections and then each section will consist of as many pages as you need to provide sufficiebt information to the viewer. For example, your site can have as many sections as the number of the departments in your organization.

17. How much information can I include on a single page? 

There's no limit! The viewer can scroll through a single page of any length. You can have a whole telephone directory in a single page but this will not be effective since it will download VERY slowly and will discourage viewers to reach the end of your page. Pictures take much longer to load than text. We will try to have a visible picture but also pages of a logical size to avoid increasing download time.

18. How fast can a client access my Web Page? 

It depends on the graphics size. Text downloads almost immediately. Therefore, we will optimize your graphics so that they download quickly.

22. Can I have Streaming Media / FLASH/ Audio / Video on my site? 

Absoplutely. These applications can greatly enhance a website. However, you need to make sure that your site will be a quick download, and that the majority of your viewers will have the necessary programs installed on their own computers to utilize them effectively.

23. Can I accept credit card payment directly from my site? 

Yes. Customers may be reluctant to disclose their credit card details over the Internet. Therefore, if you have a merchant account / secure certificate, we make sure that your hosting company provides a secure server for these transactions. We can help you get a "secure server certificate." If you DO NOT have a merchant account, there are other options available to you to receive payment.

24. How soon can I get a Web site? 

A Business card can be up in one day. A brochure site can be up within a week. Your final web site will be ready, usually within 30 days, depending on- the amount of work that needs to be scanned, graphic design items necessary, and e-commerce components to incorporate, etc. This is generally within 30 days after your approval of the design and is dependent upon how extensive your site is. Major corporate sites will take longer due to complexity and depth of site architecture.
