Answer: It is not necessary to own a computer to benefit from a web site on the Internet. An example would be that you don't need to buy a newspaper to be able to advertise your business in it.

Answer: Nearly half of all U.S. Households have Internet access, and 75% of the U.S. has access to E-mail either at work or at home, throughout each day. By the middle of 2001, the U.S. Population using the Internet is expected to reach 201.1 million. And that's JUST the U.S! Another interesting fact is that there will be 4.02 billion unique web pages by mid 2001.

Answer: Market research shows a 15% increase in Internet sales as compared to the same time period one year ago. As nearly half the population goes on-line, it's not surprising that Internet sales and bill paying are the areas seeing the fastest growth.

Answer: Any one in the world can view your website 24 hours a day 7 days a week, if they can find it. This is the reason being properly registered with various search engines is so important and the reason Advertinet includes this valuable service as part of our packages, instead of an additional or hidden cost.

Answer: There are currently several companies selling software that are supposed to make search engine registration easy and automatic. While we have tried using auto submission services, the only sure way of getting your web site properly registered is to do it manually. The reason for this is that the Internet is constantly growing and changing. By the time a software is developed to register with several search engines the search engines themselves have changed their formats and forms. Many have gone to pay for placement services and Advertinet works diligently to keep up on all the changes within the search engine registration service.

While designing the layout of text and graphics on a page can be a relatively simple matter, the structure of the site needs to be well thought out so viewers don't get lost or force them to view unnecessary documents. The formatting of the document and its parts is very critical so that a web site can contain visual appeal while maintaining a desired load speed. If the page takes too long to load the consumer will simply go elsewhere.

While this falls under the category of a trade secret, we can tell you this: We scrutinize every aspect of the page design and its components and have developed our own way of enhancing speed without giving up quality. In addition we are very concerned about Internet traffic and have done everything necessary to ensure that at no time will heavy traffic slow transmissions down from our end.

We are a reseller of two local ISP's in the Southern Illinois area and we also do a variety of web-based services including: search engine research, registration, renewal, email and list server programs, search engine registration and meta tag placements, site evaluations, hosting, database design, e-commerce, Shockwave and Flash movies, audio and video, cgi scripting, interactive forms, CD production, and maintenance agreements.

Advertinet bases its pricing on each individualized job, depending on needs or requests for functionality by the client. Most pricing is based on a per page basis, whatever will fit on an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper. Database driven and e- commerce store solutions are going to be slightly more taking in the extensive administration capability each must have to function. More and more clients ask for turnkey designs that let them update site information through intuitive forms, and that can add to design costs.
