Because of today's business environment, a web site has become an essential element of providing quality customer service. Customer's expect businesses to have an internet presence.
As a Professional Business, the internet provides customers with 24 hour, 7 day a week support, access to account information, the capability to browse inventory for the products and services business provides. And the business cost is marginal compared to the return on investment through sales and customer satisfaction.
All of my websites are run by software that I've written called the MCP® for Master Control Program. The MCP® is written in Perl coupled with CSS which is an acronym for Cascading Style Sheets. The MCP has never been hacked. I've been involved in software and hardware technology since the late 70's, and am very familiar with various methods employed by hackers. I don't like spammers, people using my online forms to contact me with their services or products. If you contact me with anything like that the MCP® will blacklist both your email address and your devices IP address from using the contact form. This will take place across all my websites that utilize a contact form. If I find that you are indeed trying to hack the MCP® I will blacklist your IP Address from accessing any portion of any of my websites.
The MCP® is a webpage generator. I'm able to put up a basic website easily within 30 minutes. If you want a website, my basic charge is $500 and I host the site free of charge. The MCP® software stays on my webserver. If you want a site on your webserver, I will write separate software other than the MCP® as this softwares source code is a registered trademark of mine and will not be disseminated on another persons or companies webserver.
If you want a customized website to sell your store's inventory across the internet or just locally within your store. I have written software that creates a fully functional e-commerce webpage from a stores inventory database. The cost for that is negotiable. Increase your sales, with a webbased e-commerce system, you can check out your customers from your store and you can snag sales across the world wide web.
