Before you contact us, be sure you want what we specialize in:
cross-compatible, search engine optimized HTML websites -- safe, crack-proof, and solid -- with or without fast-loading high-end graphic content.

What we design, build, and install:

• straight .HTML pages,
  
• order forms
  
• contact forms
  
• shopping carts, (Installation, configuration, and design only. You are responsible for uploading content, and, yes, we'll teach you how.)
  
• galleries, (Installation, configuration, and design only. You are responsible for uploading content, and, yes, we'll teach you how.)
  
• PRIVATE forums, (We install, configure and design. Maintentance, repair,or upgrade is extra.)
  
• .CGI applications
  
• private IM messaging networks and clients,
  
• VPN's,
  
• SSL and SSI enabled websites.

We overlay hand-coded cross-compatible, search-engine optimized .HTML over .CGI engines for seamlessly integrated performance.

We also create highly interactive websites and networking applications, but we do it by a certain set of standards and principles, based on our knowledge. Just because it's new, it's the rage, or it's popular doesn't mean it's safe and solid. For a few hints about our position, go here. ...And, yes, this kind of website/network is expensive because it takes dedicating our team exclusively to the project in order to create a safe, secure environment for you.

BUT...
Before you contact us or any web designer, have the content you want included in your website complete, organized, and ready to go. Text must be sent in a PLAIN ASCII DOS TEXT FORMAT or in the body of a PLAIN TEXT EMAIL, one file/email per webpage. We don't build sites UNTIL we have all your content.

When we request them, have the images you want to include on your webpage saved in a non-proprietary 100% Standard .jpg or uncompressed .tif or .bmp format , the large ones sized at minimum at 600 pixels wide. Label the images according to the page they go on and the content they belong with.

PRICE:

HOSTING: $180 a year and up.
You can get it cheaper by buying your own space here. Dreamhost is the best on the net.

CUSTOM DESIGNS: start at $3000, all fees prepaid and non-refundable

SITE BUILDS: $250 per page, post-design approval, half-down, non-refundable, balance due upon client satisfaction and upload.

SCHEDULE: There are only five coders/programmers and two graphic artists in our group. We're all very busy. At this writing, we're booked through June 2004 except for small, special projects we can fit in between our big ones. Keep that in mind when contacting us for an estimate. While we love building top-ranked, top quality websites, we are a very small, specialized group of coders and only take on very selective projects we all agree on.

PLEASE DO REMEMBER: There are tons of web designers and coders out there thrilled to take your money to their banks. Do yourself a favor, and try to use a service that's honest and knows what they're doing.

PROMOTION: Our top web promoter is unavailable for all but a very few select client sites. Don't ask when. Ask if. The rest of us are good - very good. He's great.

It is a VERY tough and tricky job, requiring dedicated time and effort. Therefore, it's expensive and few can afford his expertise. Even when they can, his usual answer is no because of conflict of interest due to previously accepted contracts.
