The i-Ohio Philosophy
Our firm was founded on three fundamental principles. We strive to uphold
these principles, and we believe that they show through in both the web sites
and the business relationships that we have created.
1. We want to know your business.
At i-Ohio, our consultants know the Internet and the World Wide Web. We've
been creating content since the early stages of the Internet itself, and we are
confident in our ability to produce attractively designed web sites.
What we want to know is your business.
We want to know about the products or services that you provide. We want to
know what sets your business apart from others in a given industry, and what
makes your employees unique. We want to know how your business relates to your
local community, and where you plan to go in the next millennium. We pride
ourselves in establishing a full understanding of our clients and their business
before we create their site. We feel that this understanding shows through in
the finished product. Our goal is to produce web sites that accurately convey
the client's message to consumers.
2. We create cost-effective web sites.
We know that almost all of our clients are new to the World Wide Web. In
fact, no one knew what a web site was even five years ago. Therefore, we
are mindful that our clients don't want to invest an enormous amount of money to
create a presence on the Internet until they can see finite benefits.
Fundamentally, we believe that the great promise of the World Wide Web and
digital communications was to provide a highly effective and affordable
communications medium. We are committed to providing our services at an
affordable price that allows our clients to establish a respectable,
professional presence on the World Wide Web without a large investment.
3. We use plain English to help you understand our
services.
The web sites that we create represent our best work. We want our clients to
appreciate the sites that we create for them, and how they can fully utilize
their presence on the World Wide Web. That doesn't mean that our clients need to
understand all the nuts and bolts behind the sites we create. However, as a part
of our basic services, we explain the site to the business owners and employees
who will be responsible for using the site. We want you to understand your
investment, and appreciate how it will help your business.
If you aren't currently familiar with the Internet, and even if you aren't a
computer user, there is no reason to overlook the potential benefits that this
technology can provide for your company. At i-Ohio, we pride ourselves on our
ability to explain these technologies to business owners so that you can
understand the potential benefits that this technology can provide for you
without being encumbered by all the jargon that surrounds the Internet.
Similarly, the pages that we create are designed to help users find the
information that they want efficiently, and with minimal confusion. Our pages do
not contain the clutter and disarray that some poorly designed sites display.
In short, we believe that technology's evolution should make it easier, not
harder, to find the information that consumers need. |
