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?

Server Performance Monitoring In most cases, the server hosting your web site will be provided by a web hosting service (such as Hurricane Electric, the service that hosts this web site). This means that, rather than having the server hardware and software running at your business location, your site is actually running on (probably a shared) computer somewhere else in the country, which provides very high speed connections to the Internet, reliable and redundant hardware, and professional technical support to maximize the availability of your web content.   However, by turning over server hosting to another business, you've also turned over some of your capability to monitor and manage the performance of your site. While a service level agreement (SLA) can define the legal obligation of that organization to provide the requisite support, a smart customer (in this case, you or PCV Software) will use techniques at their disposal to monitor how well the hosting service is complying with the SLA.   To see an example of how this can be done, we've included a few system information pages on our site. This capability can also be added to your site, allowing you (or us, if you desire) to regularly track this important component of web site performance and response.

Are you a charitable or religious organization? PCV Software enjoys doing pro bono work for these organizations as a way to give back to the community, and to help those who help others. Use our "Contact Us" page to let us know how we can help.
