Your web site should be a business solution.

There may be many reasons for considering a web site for your business - your competitors already have one, or it seems like everyone else already has one, or you think it's neat to be able to give out your "www.heyihaveawebsite.com" web address, or maybe you read in some trade magazine that it's the easy way to "increase sales" or "lower costs."

But don't you think that, if a web site is the solution, shouldn't you be able to identify the problem first? At PCV Software, we use our 26 years of experience in solving business problems with information technology to examine the nature of your business, the demands of your market, and the goals of your business plan to formulate a web solution specific to your business.

Need some back-end programs to process all that new business you're going to create with your web site? How about some help in designing your complete business solution, including local or wide-area networks? We can provide additional programming and network solutions on virtually any hardware or software platform. Our successful projects demonstrate the wide range of technology and market situations that have helped form our core competencies.

Finally, if you are new to the Internet, this site incorporates a number of web technologies and techniques that could be used for your web site. After all, wouldn't you want your web site developer to be able to do "whatever is required" to make your site successful?

Accommodating Handheld Users As the world becomes digitized, the variety of "computers" also expands. For example, there are now many handheld devices, such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and cellphones, that include not only a web connection but also a web browser. If you think that your users may frequently use a handheld device to access your site, then you should make your site "handheld-friendly."   The biggest challenge for handheld users is the size of their display screen. Currently, 320 pixels would be considered a large screen, while most desktop and laptop computers have a minimum of 800 pixels in width, and many have considerably higher resolutions. Therefore, if your web site is designed for desktop screen resolutions, it may be difficult for handheld users to view your site. Another challenge for handheld users is the extensive use of graphics on a web site, which can be both slow to load and take up a lot of their limited display area.   However, with the clever use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), a web design can incorporate the modifications necessary to accommodate handheld users without having a completely separate site, or duplicate pages for them. CSS specifications can eliminate the graphic headers and navigation commonly used, while inserting text navigation on the page only when it is viewed by a handheld device. If you have a handheld with a browser, just access our site to see how this works. If you don't have one to try, we've included a few pictures of our site on a Palm Pilot.
