The Web is not very old but has become an integral part of our lives. A web presence with a web site will help your enterprise grow.
At the time of writing, the Web is only 16 years old. Tim Berners-Lee published a paper in August 1991, date which marked the debut of the Web as a publicly available service on the Internet. He had set up the first web server and written the first web browser and the first web pages. Since then the web has exploded into what we know today.
There have been many advances in technology, more powerful processors, more powerful memories, increases in data (packets) transmission speed. For example a copper wire support, as used by land line telephony and the original Internet connections with a maximum capacity of 56kbps is now up to 20MB using fiber optics ADSL.
Let us forget the ever decreasing prices of hardware making it more and more available to an always growing public.
It is easy to predict a convergence of all digital communications, telephony, web, media.
Businesses have recognised the power of web sites as a marketing tool, the most powerful one after personal referrals. “What is your web site?” comes hot foot behind your name and your position.
Your enterprise web site is its show case to the world, and it is open 24 / 7 from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. Executives on the move expect to be able to connect to the Internet and find the information they are looking for, your products or your services.
