WEB SITE DEVELOPMENT

WHY DO I NEED A WEB SITE?
With the numbers of Internet users projected to be greater than 1 billion by the year 2000, the World Wide Web is being hailed as an advertisering and merchandising dream. Most companies, including your competition, already have or are planning to create their own web presence. The key, is to make your web presence stand out. For a web site to be a useful tool in the marketing plan of any company, your web presence must change with the times, evolve with fresh new ideas, make use of the rapidly changing technologies of the Internet and fit in with your already existing or future corporate identity.

SPLITINFINITY is involved in all aspects and technologies concerning the Internet, Internet commerce and corporate identity, on and off the Internet. SPLITINFINITY understands what it is to be, and what it takes to be a success on the Internet, and we can pass this experience on to you.

Using an inexpensive or even a free program to create a "web page" is great if its only purpose is to create a personal page that one would share with family and friends; to post this year's family portrait or to list your children's hobbies, but not to generate business.
