Promotion and Maintenance

Promotion

You may not have the resources of Amazon.com to promote your site, but this does not mean you are condemned to the outer reaches of cyber space.

Maintenance

Some web sites are completely static and require no updating or maintenance at all, but these are becoming rarer as people begin to realise the real power of the internet.
Your site will probably be updated many times so as to keep your audience fully informed of your development and progress.
This updating can be done by you or us, but some preparation will make this easier to achieve.
We advise that wherever possible dynamic content be identified and put into a database format, which can be updated in-house or via your own site as required; either way you save the ongoing cost of having professionals, like us, carry out the work for you.
We can train you or your staff to carry out straight forward amendments (UK only) or do these for you. Both these services are charged on a time basis.
Planning ahead can reduce maintenance costs. For example, our own site here where, in the "Just for fun" section we provide a number of games. We have deliberately chosen time honoured classics, like hangman, because this will involve the minimum amount of work to maintain. If we had chosen the latest fad then we would be for ever chasing our tails to keep up - Zero advantage and maximum cost!

This site is optimised to browsers that support World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards, HTML4.01 and CSS1.
It is accessible to any browser or Internet device, but as you are not using a HTML4.01 or CSS1 compatible browser it will look, at best, flat and uninteresting. Formatting and positioning of the elements on the pages could be lost completely.
Why we now design to these standards is explained here
You can download free compatible browsers from a list provided here

Special note to users of Netscape 4:

Netscape 4 has very "buggy" support for CSS1 and amongst other things loses formatting when the screen is resized and has to be reloaded. We can script around these problems, but now do not ask our clients to pay for the extra hours of work entailed when only a small proportion of users (3% in June 2002 - and falling) still have level 4 Netscape, and in any case can upgrade for free.
Rather than present you with a confusing, partially formatted site we have removed all styling on this site for Netscape 4.
