....or
rather – What We Can Do For You!
…and what some things mean!
Over time a goodly number of potential customers
have visited our site, contacted us, and proceeded to ask a boatload of
questions. Because different people asked some of the same questions,
we thought that covering some of those topics here was a first-class idea!
So… in the paragraphs that follow there are
terms that may or may not be familiar to you. In those instances
we provide a simple answer as well as an external link (in
light blue and it will open in a new page) for more information
about that term/topic.

Web Design
|
Web Design Services
A very simple web design (3-4 pages) complete
with links, graphics, backgrounds, and photos can usually be completed
within a minimum of 10-15 hours of work. We will apply a 10 hour
minimum to all projects. Charges for services rendered are based
on an hourly rate, but most often we create a packaged price that fits
the clients needs and wallet.

Web Access
|
Web Access - Dial up or
High Speed?
Since you are viewing our pages, it means you
must be accessing the web by some means. A company that provides
web access is known as an Internet
Service Provider (ISP) and we do not provide this basic connection
to the web.
To connect to the web and have access to email
or web content will require you to select or continue with your current
ISP of one of your preference.
We recommend to all our clients that access
to high speed Internet is the best option possible. Most web site
content today consists of graphics or more complex behind the scenes scripting
and using a dial up connection can be frustratingly slow.

Hosting
|
Web Hosting
We have established ourselves on a secure server
that is under our direct control. This means we are able to provide
web hosting for our hosted clients and ourselves as well as provide timely
support.
We offer a wide variety of hosting solutions,
including E-Commerce sites that require CGI (Common
Gateway Interface) scripting, guest books, form mail and a number of
other services too numerous to list here.
Please note that our hosting is equally available
to externally created web content and is not reserved exclusively for clients
that have contracted us to create a site. This means if someone or
you have a site that is already created and your plan is to continue to
use that content we certainly can provide our server to host your site.
|
Domain Names
|
Domains aka your Web Address
A domain
is the name you select for your site and once placed on a server, all pages
then form the URL (Uniform
Resource Locator or URL, still known as Universal Resource Locator)
that forms the precise location on the web for your page. In other
words...
your distinct and individual web address!
In our case, we wanted a name that suggested
what we do. However, we were forced to select Net-werkZ©
because the names of networks and netwerkz were already taken. After
a little creative thinking we made our selection!
Just as was our experience, someone else may
have already selected your ideal domain name. That being the case,
do not despair, we have helped many others discover a viable alternative
over the many years of existence.
If you need to acquire a domain name for your
site, i.e., [www.yourname.com] we can do that for you and can provide
hosting for it at a price that will astound many providers or wholesalers.
If you already posses your domain we can assist you with all renewals.

Email
|
Email – Alias or POP 3?
Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) has likely
provided you with an email address when you signed on for your Internet
connection. You selected some user name and password and then the
provider created a POP3 (Post
Office Protocol, version 3 (POP3), email address for you. Tom@verizon.net
and mary@comcast.com are examples of ISP provided POP3 email addresses
To accomplish its designed functions your web
site may require more than one POP3 email boxes. For example, in
your case your site may have several individuals using the site to gain
contacts. We can create an email address that can be accessed from
any computer.
You may already have an email address such as
the ones above and you wish to give your site visitors a positive professional
impression. In those instances we create an email
alias such as mary@jonesandcompany.com, which in actuality forwards
the email to mary@comcast.com.
Once you select our server as your domain host,
and place your domain on our server your limit of aliases or POP3 accounts
are basically infinite, however the exact number may be limited by the
hosting plan you select.

Graphics
|
Graphic Illustrations
If we are developing your site chances are you
will have pictures that you want to include that would help tell your story.
If you have graphics or illustrations that are already in computer usable
formats, i.e., gif, jpeg, bmp, they can be sent to us for inclusion.
This will substantially reduce the time we spend creating site content.
Files of graphics if reasonably sized can be
sent via email, however if the file is simply too large then we can provide
you with a variety of solutions that will get your items to us.
Our partnered graphic arts department Art-werkZ©,
can assist you with any special graphic needs such as logos or other illustrations.

Search Engines

Search Engines
Of all the topics that we web geeks write about,
“all
about search engines” probably gets the most ink. Every designer
believes that they have mastered the fine art of driving visitors to web
sites, but likely no one of us really have and still many will brag about
their ability to achieve top ten rankings.
The job of a search engine is simple, store
information in a database about as many web sites as possible. It
retrieves the information by a crawler
or a spider (little programs that examine the web) searching for specific
information regarding a specific topic.
The people that manage these search engines
are in a constant battle for supremacy with other search engine operators.
Each one tries to be more relevant than the other. Thus their algorithms
or formulas are changing constantly and as you can well imagine, it is
certainly a secretive process.
Sites are submitted to search engines to attract
attention topically and some businesses specialize in optimizing
sites for the web; this is a process by which the best content is created
to allow the many search engine operators to find the site and store the
information in their database.
Unfortunately, some that specialize in site
submission claim that they have foolproof methods that will guarantee any
site a top ten ranking, however we will never make any overstated claims
about our potential success. We simply do not believe anyone can
predict a precise position of any web search. In fact, we suggest
that you avoid anyone or us for that matter that might guarantee your site
a top ten rank.
Certainly, Net-werkZ© Media
Group has the all the knowledge and technology necessary to optimize your
web site for submission to the all the search engines. This can be
done as a one-time optimization and submission, or we can establish a schedule
for additional events.
To aid you as well as gauge your site's performance
we have tools that can analyze your positioning by the various search engines.
We do this routinely at no charge to our clients.

Net-werkz
began operating in 1997 as it ventured into Web sites, Web site design,
Web design and site design. As time moved along Web hosting, Domains,
and site redesign Net-werkz added to the Web sites, Web site design, Web
design and site design. Growth of the World Wide Web aka the net,
boomed and Net-werkz was afforded the chance to build many more web sites.
In the field of
web design or more specifically web site design, Net-werkz has always believed
in the KISS theory, in other words managing the web site media, logos,
and graphics to keep the page size small to allow for fast opening web
sites. There are other large web design companies that probably make
really pretty web sites, but do fancy web sites perform best or does a
functional web design by Net-werkz work better?
The need became
obvious for a well rounded Net-werkz that was versed in the many disciplines
of advertising, public relations, graphics, and logos. The
added departments for media and graphics have added much to Net-werkz portfolio.
Once a captive of external graphic arts designers, Net-werkz can now produce
most graphics and logos we need in house.
The net continues
to offer challenges and one was the small company that could not afford
the large ad or media buying companies. Advertising and public relations
are the keys to business growth, and Net-werkz now has the ability to assist
our customers with media buying, small ads, and other media services such
as logos and graphics for web sites or the radio or television ad.
Net-werkz
with Web Design, Advertising, and Graphics divisions is poised to help
its clients for years to come with Web site design, Web design, Web site
hosting, Web hosting, Web site redesign, Site design, Domains, Web sites,
Public Relations, advertising, Ads, Logos, Media, Media buying, Graphics,
