The visual and navigational strategy of a site is a vital element of
the overall project. Ease of navigation being paramount, your web site
must be intuitive to use and lead visitors to relevant information quickly.
This is where expertise is needed to make your site visually exhilarating,
whilst maintaining structure and reason and providing a content driven
experience to the viewer. Although the Internet is something new to many
of us, communicating with each other is not. At NetSource Solutions we design web sites
using the years of experience we have in broadcast and the media to communicate
your message simply and effectively. It is easy for a Web agency to blind
you with tech-talk, or over hyped virtual marketing campaigns in order
to sell you their service. It is therefore our aim to guide you effortlessly
through the hype so that you can truly understand all the issues in order
that you can make the most of them.
Our web sites, produced with Macromedia Flash software take on a CD
ROM quality, not only engaging the audience in a unique way, but allowing
for delivery of more information in a faster more elegant way - like
a seamless web movie. Many leading-edge companies, such as Disney, Ford,
CBS, Nike, IBM, BBC, Levi, Pepsi, etc., rely on Flash to deliver the
best possible web content on their sites. Once your business needs have
been identified, we will then offer suggestions for the best way forward,
taking into account your targets, current position, your budget, what
plans you may have for future development etc. Usually we will provide
you with a report outlining our recommendations, which we make easy to
read and jargon free, and in many instances can also produce online design
previews so that you can actually see at first hand how your site could
look and feel.
Our web design team (based in Birmingham, West Midlands) is experienced
in defining, then providing the right internet solution for our clients
needs. The approach by NetSource Solutions is all about empowering our
clients to enable them to optimise the decision process for their business.
Not all web sites are optimised 100% for the internet audience we can
either build upon your current design and optimise it to work better
for you, which may mean image optimisation to give faster download times,
or a few strategically placed programmed elements and components that
make your site more functional - or we could give it a complete overhaul.
No one knows your business better than you do, and through an effective
consultation process you can see how our vision gels with your business
aims to help achieve your goals without losing your primary focus. Web
sites and domains are hosted on an industrial platform mainly using high
powered Linux servers located in a secure data centre in London with
advanced backup power systems that includes diesel generators and a gas
based fire protection system. Cisco routers are exclusively used with
two physical links to two backbones which ensure emergency supply of
bandwidth and all servers are backed-up daily. Obtaining high search
engine rankings is important and will have a significant impact on your
web site traffic, visibility and sales.
One of the problems with the growth of the internet is that it means
lots of new registrations with the search engines and directories. As
more sites are added, your site will fall further down the list, therefore
registration of your site on a regular basis is important. Our services
are tailored to the needs of the client. Our Internet awareness campaign
is not just a process, it's a science. With coordinated submissions to
international and UK specific search engines there is a 100% success
rate in achieving Top 10 positions. To measure the performance of your
site and complement existing marketing strategies, visitor traffic can
be monitored for analysis, and reports can be generated to help understand
how visitors use your site. such as the number of visits per day, and
detailed statistics which include the length of time a visitor spent
on the site, referring sites, visitor paths, demographics, and which
keyword searches have referred the largest number of visitors to your
site.
NetSource Solutions use WebTrends analysis software to produce up to
50 essential reports on web site visitor patterns. This powerful software
can produce reports monthly, weekly, daily or even hourly. Using WebTrends
can give a clear picture of how your site is being used, showing both
strengths and weaknesses. A Dynamic Server with active server pages allows
constantly changing information sources to be integrated into existing
web pages. These are pages with an established layout, but whose content
is applied from a data source, just before the page is served to the
browsing client.The software that activates dynamic server information,
known as 'middleware' comes in many different forms. Typical formats
include ASP (Active Server Pages), JSP (Java Server Pages), and ColdFusion
etc.
Active server pages can be used for many different applications including:
Share index figures, weather information, news pages, recruitment and
estate agencies. Active server pages are the next stage for creating
true 'Web Applications' where the content is updated without reloading
the entire page. See our News Player application below for an example
of a Web Application using dynamic server software. Businesses can accept
transactions via the web, but these poses a unique set of security issues
which must be addressed at the outset to minimize risk. Customers will
submit information via the web only if they are confident that their
personal information, such as credit card numbers, financial data, or
medical history, are secure. For this, your site must encrypt communications
with customers using SSL (Secure Socket Layer). This ensures no one can
'eaves drop' in on sensitive customer information. The customer will
also want to know that the server they are sending information to is
authentic and not masquerading as a legitimate server. To ensure this
is the case, the server should have a security certificate issued by
a Certificate Authority. This certificate is an electronic i.d. which
proves the server is the correct one and gives the customer the reassurance
of knowing their transactions and information are secure and confidential.
NetSource Solutions employ VeriSign, the world's leading Certificate
Authority, having issued more than 410,000 certificates, to ensure clients
sites are safe for secure transactions. This proven technology is in
use by the top 40 e-commerce sites, all of the Fortune 500 companies
with a web presence, and thousands of other leading sites. Providing
e-commerce facilities without such a licence in place would leave your
business and client's information open to authentication, privacy, and
message integrity issues. As well as forming your web address Domain
Names are also used in e-mail addresses, for example user@yourcompany.org.uk.
these enable people to send and receive electronic mail. This provides
you with the benefit of an exclusive domain, which search engines can
easily find, and a personal address which can be included in company
literature.
The Top Level Domain (TLD) part of the Domain Name appears right at
the end of the Domain Name, such as 'co.uk'. Most geographical territories
have been allocated a specific two-letter code, like .uk, which is called
a country code Top Level Domain. There are also several TLD's that are
not specific to a geographical location - these are known as generic
Top Level Domains such as '.com'. Organisations usually select a Top
Level Domain that corresponds to the country in which they are operating,
and some companies choose to register Domain Names in several different
TLD's. In general, businesses based in or wishing to market themselves
in the UK use a Domain Name ending .uk. Most business transactions are
already done at a distance, whether by fax, phone, or mail. So shifting
business-to-business commerce to the web is a natural transition.
E-commerce is an intricate part of the internet now, and is close to
becoming as central to business operations as the telephone or fax. Growing
at an explosive rate, it is outstripping all previous communication revolutions.
It took 10 years before there were 50 million TV sets in the world, yet
the number of computers linked to the Internet using e-commerce has grown
from one million in 1995 to 50 million in less than three years... Spreading
from the web site to back-end order processing and delivery, e-commerce
can increase supply-chain and back-office efficiencies. With the right
business model, technology and strategies in place, it can enable enormous
cost savings and greatly improved revenues.
We are able to develop e-commerce solutions for business in all areas
of industry, both business-to-business and business-to-customer based.
There is rarely a typical project, as every e-commerce project varies
in size and nature, so our solutions are tailored on an individual basis
and include our own software and server technology. There are various
methods for processing orders from fax/email back orders, to full online
credit card verification systems on a secure server. With our help confidential
areas of business can be conducted over the internet, with confidence,
safe in the knowledge that the information being communicated will remain
secure. With WorldPay we can help large and small customer organisations
to undertake profitable business on the Internet, with a range of innovative
services that make national and international electronic trading simple,
swift and secure. You can reassure your customer that payment is in safe
hands. WorldPay, with Natwest, is the leading player in electronic commerce
solutions., with a range of services that make trading online simple,
swift and secure. All of our hosting plans include a number of POP3 mailboxes
which can be configured via a user friendly web administration page.
A POP3 mailbox is a password protected area on our server in which your
mail is stored. Mail to any address can be sent either to a POP3 mailbox
on our server or forwarded to an existing e-mail address elsewhere. E-mail
2 fax forwarding is included free of charge and will allow you to forward
your email to a fax machine. Intranet's bring functionality of the Internet
in-house with the creation of closed private networked communities, with
internal organisational access only.
An extranet can provide selective access from outside the organisation
(ie. for customers, suppliers or partners). Intranet's can range from
simply making product information available, to more complex systems
that integrate workflow between departments within the company. From
a return on investment (ROI) standpoint returns are very healthy, producing
major savings in time and money, aswell as creating dramatic increases
in efficiency. In this rapidly evolving business environment, companies
of all sizes and industries are facing major communications challenges.
Quick and easy access to departmental, corporate and customer information
is more essential than ever. Any firm who has employees with Post-It
notes stuck all over their monitors, a stack of unread bulletins and
newsletters in their in-trays or files and files of papers that need
to be routed between departments, should consider a company Intranet.
Over the next five years we will see continued growth in the use of the
Intranet as an organisations 'digital nervous system', giving employees
access to information more easily for more effective deployment.
Tens of thousands of businesses, schools and other organizations have
solved their marketing and communications problems through Interactive
CD-ROM Multi-Media Presentations. Interactive information / presentations
delivered on CR-ROM , including 3D and 360-degree visuals, video, sound,
voice-over's can aid communication in many areas such as : A CD-ROM can
hold up to 670mb of multimedia including up to 45 minutes of video, 30,000
pages of text, or 10,000 web pages with pictures, and can be mailed at
the cost of a regular letter. Utilising advanced programming and graphic
tools we can produce very striking interactive CDROM presentations for
your business needs that will certainly get people talking. We can produce
