"We had to have two comprehensive web sites done in an extremely short time frame. I knew some of what I wanted, then worked with Pathways to design an interface that would be appealing, professional, and -- most importantly -- easily navigable. The sites Pathways designed are lauded by our prospects and customers -- and satisfactorily loathed by our competition. I recommend them without equivocation."

There is more to establishing your company on the Internet than simply building a home page and getting an e-mail address from an ISP.

The creation of any new corporate Internet presence is a complicated process. Pathways Data Systems takes away the complexity with products and services tailored to suit your particular business.

Your web site is the primary focus of your company's Internet presence. As such it is the standard by which your entire company's operations will be judged. Existing and potential customers will evaluate your competency and professionalism by your website.

Pathways Data Systems will determine your Internet needs and help you choose from existing software packages or design custom software as needed.

We put your site through a six stage process on the path from inspiration to completion:

• Conception: Harmonizing your site with your corporate look, logos, color schemes and existing marketing strategies.

• Integration: Combining the web site with existing business practices, company software and networking.

• Design & Specification: Initial graphic designs, mockups and storyboarding to give your site a personality.

• Production: The development of each of the individual elements of your site. This includes text, graphics, images, sound, Java, animations and other custom technologies.

• Testing: Both technical and practical. Does the site get the message across? Does it meet your company's goals? Do the links work? Is the database functioning correctly? Each site goes through an extensive testing process before going live on the Internet.

• Deployment: Launching the site on the Internet is not the end of the process. All sites need to be continually updated, both in content and technology, to stay fresh. A static site is a dead site.
