One of the most important decisions you need to make after you've decided to launch a website is "Who should I hire to create my website?"

Companies, which create websites from pre-packaged templates often cost less, but don't provide you with customized solutions that will communicate your company's individuality to your Internet customers. Site developers who are just getting started will create your site for a minimal fee, basically using your website to develop their skills.

Although today, there are many tools available to build websites, successful website development requires experience in many different arenas. An experienced web development company must understand both you and your business. They must also be experienced with:

• Internet graphic design
• Internet marketing
• HTML/CGI/Java programming (and its limitations)
• Database integration
• Multiple platforms and browsers
• Internet writing
• Search engine placement strategies
• E-Commerce
• Intranet strategies

At TriCom, our trained staff includes not only HTML/CGI/Java programmers, but also graphic designers, marketers, and professional writers.
