Web Services Provided by Ashton ITC

Site Development: We will build your Website to your specifications using the latest technology where appropriate to include database connectivity, eCommerce functions, literature downloading, multimedia elements, etc. Our programmers are experienced with Internet programming tools including; PHP, MySQL, Java, JavaScript and many others. Your site will be one of the most effective on the net. Copyright on the Web Pages designed by us will also be held by you.

Site Hosting: Our secure Unix Servers are designed specifically for the fastest and most reliable Internet presence. In addition to providing you with a complete World-Wide-Web site, our Private Virtual Servers offer all the capabilities of a dedicated on-site server. These include anonymous and multi-user FTP (file transfers), unlimited e-mail accounts with forwarding, and the availability of encryption for secure on-line transactions. Currently the servers we employ are connected to the Internet through multiple OC12 lines with separate carriers to ensure the greatest speed and maximum uptime.

Domain name registration: Ashton ITC will register a Domain Name (or move an existing one) for you. Ownership of the name will be held by you. This is important for many reasons. For example, should you ever wish to relocate your site to another Server on the Internet, people will be able to find you because your URL ( address) will remain the same. As an Ashton ITC client we will even manage your domain registration so that you will be assured of hassle free domain renewals.

Search Engine Placement (WebPositioning): We have staff trained in search engine placement. To get a Return On Investment from your Internet Presence, your website needs to be found by prospects. This is a constant process that begins in parallel with your site development and depending on the maintenance option you choose, continues through the life of the contract.

Maintain Your Site: Knowledgeable net users will tell you that success on the net depends on keeping your site interesting and useful. We agree, and have provided maintenance options designed to do just that. As part of these services we will consult with you on a regular basis to discuss appropriate updates and promotions and then incorporate them in your site. We also make it easy for those clients who have the need and desire to make changes to their own sites.

Track Activity & Process Information: How many people have accessed your site, what was their host origin, what day and time was access made, what pages? - Through the Urchin software which is installed at no charge on your Ashton ITC private virtual server, we'll provide statistics (WebStats) that answer those questions and more.

Training & Support: More than anything, we want your presence on the Internet to be successful. Think of us as your own in-house Internet department, available on request to answer your questions, consult or provide training to staff. We will even set up and train you to use website editing tools like Microsoft FrontPage and Macromedia Dreamweaver to make it easy for you to do your own site maintenance if you desire.
