Internet & Intranet Overview

We design, build and manage web site, Internet and Intranet applications for corporate, small business and professional clients.

In this time of constantly emerging new Internet features and capabilities, it is easy to get caught up in the technology and distracted from key business objectives. At Great Connections® business results come first. We then use the best technologies and methods to achieve those results.

Here's a sample of what our clients - and their customers - are saying about the web sites we develop:
  • clean

  • simple
  • easy to use
  • well organized
  • fast
  • informative
  • beautiful
  • painless to implement
  • the right professional image


Our Approach

Understanding the needs, priorities and perspectives of your intended users is essential for determining the business objectives as well as the functional and information content requirements for any Internet or Intranet web site application. Based on this understanding, we design, build and manage web site applications that incorporate the following elements, key to achieving the desired business objectives:

  • Attractive, functional and professional design
  • High-value information content
  • Simple, clear information content organization and structure
  • Intuitive, easy site navigation
  • Interactive contact options
  • Fast-loading web pages
  • Timely updating and expansion of information content
  • Simple web page design for ease of use and low-cost maintenance
  • Continuous monitoring of site usage
  • Effective marketing of web site listings in directories and search engines
  • Reliable, high-performance web site hosting
  • Low-cost tools and methods for producing information content

We emphasize a phased project approach that allows:

  • smaller increments of investment
  • faster implementation and results
  • incremental expansion building on operational experience, user feedback and other lessons learned from earlier project phases

Throughout a project, we work with our client as an effective team to help ensure that: 1) there are no surprises; and 2) the resulting web site or application meets or exceeds client expectations. We use a simple, clear procedure that makes it easy for our clients to keep abreast of project status and results.
