@omic web solutions

It's easy to make a web page.

This might sound like an unlikely opening for a page offering you professional web solutions - but it is the truth. Anyone can design a web page.

The challenge is doing it right.

The web is littered with one page 'web sites' with a counter, spinning globe, some blinking text and very little else - unfortunately when these sites don't work the Internet is assumed to have failed when in fact it is the site that failed.

At @omic we specialise in producing solutions that meet your needs and those of your customers. In order to understand why this is so important you need to understand the Internet and how it works. The Internet is a very different media. Your customer has more power than ever before. If your site does not satisfy them, they can with the click of a mouse, move on and with them goes your opportunity to sell. It is unlikely that someone who has visited and dismissed your site will return. It is therefore essential that your site is relevant, interesting and useful, because if it's not there is probably a competitor site somewhere in the world that is.

The experience we have of working on the Internet means that we can provide you with solutions which will ensure that your @omic site meets those criteria - every time. Our skills and knowledge will help you build a web presence which meets and exceeds your expectations.

Technology

The Internet is changing fast. It is said seven Internet years is equivalent to one real world year. New technologies are constantly arriving with their wave of 'killer apps'. This can all sound very daunting (and expensive). At @omic we have a theory that many of these technologies are implemented before they are useful. Blinking text which flashes on and off is a good example. When it was first available it was everywhere despite the fact that no one liked it and it didn't really do anything. We evaluate the technology available and fit the solution to the needs of your customers, not the need of the designer to play with something new. When you deal with us you can be confident of useful technologies.

Success with your site.

While we can help you develop an effective Internet presence, to ensure success you need to handle your replies correctly. Check for new messages regularly and reply promptly and accurately.

You also need to be aware of good netiquette in all you dealings on the Internet. Netiquette is the social do's and don'ts of the Internet, break them at your peril!
