Websites come in many forms - Getting a website that is best suited to your needs and future requirements is an important part of the web development process. Here are the types of websites we can provide:

A business card website is a one page website containing your basic information such as name, phone number, fax number, address, email, and information about you or your company or both.

You can choose a business card website if you don’t want to invest that much in a website right now but you want to “reserve” a spot for your name, on the internet, for future development.

The sooner you establish your internet presence the better!

Blog

Though most of the internet users know what a blog is, here is complete definition from Wikipedia:

A blog (a contraction of the term weblog) is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting), which are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, one which consists of blogs with very short posts. As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs. With the advent of video blogging, the word blog has taken on an even looser meaning — that of any bit of media wherein the subject expresses his opinion or simply talks about something.
