| Accounting and Computer Enterprises, Inc., our
parent company and website design firm, offers a unique approach to
web page design. As strange as it may sound, our strength as a web presence provider
is precisely because our backgrounds are not primarily in the computer
industry. Although we have been programming and working with computers and
computer-based applications since the late 1960's, our experience is in business and
accounting rather than computers. Our educational training has been largely in the
liberal arts, mathematics, economics and accounting. This background gives us several advantages. First, our broad base
of business experience affords us the ability to understand a company's reason for
needing to have an Internet presence. Each company has it's own business strategies
and goals, so each web site should be different and should reflect those company
goals.
Second, because we have had significant
experience talking with business management about technical issues, we know how to explain
technical computer topics in a way that that makes sense to our clients.
Third, we can offer business advise related
to a company's Internet site that goes beyond the services normally provided by Internet
design companies. We have worked with banks and credit card transactions so that we
can help companies which want to venture into e-commerce (taking master card and
electronics checks over the Internet). We have prepared corporate tax returns,
payroll returns and sales tax returns, so we know how to advise you when your Internet
transactions cross state lines. Our experience in auditing has taught us the
importance of security as it relates to secure Internet transactions and proper accounting
controls.
Fourth, because we understand the need to
go beyond simply designing your web site, we can also help you promote and market your
site. Your web site is an important company asset. We will treat it that
way.
One of the first steps in that process will
be to link your new web site to your listing in the Central Virginia Business Directory. We
will also work with you to select keywords, text and "Meta tags" to aid in the
listing of your site in major search engines. We will show you how to find the
directories related to your industry as well as many other methods which can be used to
announce to the world that you have arrived on the Internet and plan to be noticed! |
