Web Development
Those who have "Surfed the Web" for some time have noticed the recent, rapid increase in the number of Web sites. While there are many excellent sites on the Web, many others remain unseen, unused, and therefore, never get the proper recognition that they deserve. How does this happen? Well, for one thing, some folks assume that a "Web site is a Web site". This simply is not true! The design and building of a top-notch Web site requires a great deal of forethought and planning. Putting together a Web site is no easy task--especially constructing one that is inviting--where users are led to exciting graphics and information, much like a librarian leads you to a journal, book, or other reference that is difficult to find.
Have you considered the WWW as an additional means to present your information/data? Does your organization have valuable information that would receive more use and recognition if it were presented on the WWW? Are you worried about the security of this information? Are you interested in building a Web site, but aren't quite sure how to go about doing it?
"While there are many excellent sites on the Web, many others remain unseen, unused, and therefore, never get the proper recognition that they deserve."
If you answered yes to the above questions, then, you need to get in touch with The Fisheries and Wildlife Information Exchange of Virginia Tech! The Fisheries and Wildlife Information Exchange has recently established the most comprehensive Web site (http://fwie.fw.vt.edu/) for information about fish, wildlife, invertebrates, and plants. Our team of information specialists and WebMasters have extensive experience, and, a proven track record for successful Web site development! We can assist you with purchasing and configuring a server, homepage development, information structuring and delivery mechanisms, and, hyper-text markup language (HTML) training.
Whether your needs are simple or complex, the World Wide Web will not only help others find your information, but will help bring more visibility and recognition to your organization.
