Internet Services

The Internet has opened up a world of possibilities to businesses, government, and people. The ability to search for data, display world-accessible information, and send messages instantly around the world will dramatically change the way people work and live.

EnterFace provides complete Internet consulting services. Although the needs and applications may vary, a brief overview of the steps to ensure a successful Internet presence are as follows:
Needs Analysis | Installation | Web Page Design | Training | Technical Support



Needs Analysis

Each person and organization has a different reason for "being on the Net".

  • sending and receiving e-mail
  • subscribing to newsgroups
  • visiting webpages
  • searching for information
  • This reason will determine how their Internet presence should be setup. EnterFace interviews clients before installing an Internet presence. This interview is part of a "needs analysis", which determines the installation requirements. From this information, we can determine an initial training program that is designed for your needs.

    Installation

    EnterFace uses a full service Internet Service Provider (ISP) for a complete link to the Internet. In addition to standard e-mail and web browser capability, full service includes:

  • Telnet
  • Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
  • File Transfer Protocol (ftp)
  • Usenet
  • Full access requires the computer to be reconfigured so it can "talk" to the ISP. Protocols need to be established and software settings need to be checked. EnterFace installs and tests each setup to ensure the Internet connection is optimal. After this is confirmed, a preliminary training session can begin.


    Web Page Design

    Your web pages are your opportunity to address your community, region, or the world. It describes your organization, its location, and how to get in touch.

    EnterFace has designed web pages for small businesses, non-profits, and individuals. The pages are based on HTML standards which are used by all web browsers. In addition, the page is reviewed by technical editors and our own in-house "nitpickers" for content and form. Hence we maximize the audience that can read, understand, and use your message.

    The procedure for setting up a web presence is straightforward (but not simple). Once an "Internet committee" is identified, a preliminary web site can be discussed: its message, its layout, its content. The relevant pictures, symbols, and links can then be collected and organized into an initial web page. This is then submitted to the committee for review. Comments will then be incorporated into the site for final evaluation. A test run is made for further comments. A final version is then uploaded onto the web server and released to the public.

    EnterFace has the personnel and resources to design a web page for you that your organization can be proud of. Our personnel have designed web pages for small businesses, non-profit organizations, as well as individuals. Our basic philosophy is simplicity of content and a powerful message.

    If you are interested in having a web page or a whole web site designed, please e-mail us with your requirements.



    Training

    EnterFace has trained corporate and government personnel, as well as individuals, for many years. Rather than a training lab, clients are more comfortable at their own site, in familiar surroundings, and using their own computer. Based on the Needs Analysis, a training program is implemented to accelerate your use of the Internet at your own site. This includes:

  • Internet terminology
  • Internet features
  • Using e-mail
  • Searching databases
  • In addition, a preliminary list of "bookmark", handy shortcuts to your favorite sites, is given. With all this information, you will be ready to "navigate" the Internet.


    Technical Support

    EnterFace offers a full range of technical support to continue the operation and maintenance of your Internet connection. We take care of the details of the web site so you can enhance the content of your web site.
    We offer Internet maintenance packages which will:

  • regularly check and update your web page
  • provide unlimited telephone support
  • train new members of your staff
  • send you news of what other organizations are doing on the Internet
  • With this periodic maintenance, your web site will continue to attract attention and provide your "Internet community" information about your organization for years to come.
