Q. Are there any other reasons to develop a company site, other then to generate new client leads?

A.  A Website should be designed multi-functional, where new client leads are a given with any basic strategy. Many e-business applications can be developed to enhance, or interact more efficiently with new or existing clientele. For example, a structure that utilizes C.R.M. (Customer Relations Management) solutions can be implemented, to reduce the company's time management involvement of prospects or clients, thus reducing overhead. The fact is, there are as many custom Web applications that can be developed as there are businesses, that will expedite the company's bottom line, as well as provide active sales leads.

Q. Our site has been up for over 3 years now and we are not receiving many hits, what's the problem?

A.  Not all Web sites are created equal! "If you build it, they will come." Unfortunately, not all Web developers have a full understanding of what needs to be included in a Website. This process needs to begin with an initial consultation that will reveal the needs and purpose of the company's site. Developing a site is a two step process, when the design process is completed a well-executed online marketing plan needs to be deployed. It is at this point, an Internet business plan should be developed that includes a viable online marketing plan.
See our e-marketing section for a complete solution to this frequent problem. 

Q. Our firm is currently planing a large e-commerce site, should we be looking for a large Internet consulting firm to develop this effort?

Streetwise Consulting is a small-dedicated firm that limits it's clientele to only 50 per year, thus providing the scalability to accommodate a variety of project sizes. This business model offers the best of both worlds, insuring projects in a timely manner without sacrificing ongoing client support. A large firm does not always mean efficient ongoing client support, simply because it has a large staff.

Q.  How long has Streetwise Consulting/icg been in business and what type of projects or companies do you have experience in dealing with?

A.  Streetwise Consulting/icg  has been in business since 1993 and has helped companies in the manufacturing, healthcare, service, and retail sectors. We are an end-to-end solution provider, from design, online application development, to e-marketing strategies that provide results.

Q.  Is it important what type of Website hosting server is chosen for our site?

A.  This can be the most important choice a company can make.   As not all sites are created equal, the same applies to Website hosting servers. Many sites are hosted on slow T1 connections, this means in plain English, that your site will load very slowly. The only reason they are still offered is because its cheaper, so its important to ask!. You should not except anything less then a OC48 connection. Internet Consulting Group provides our clients with a direct Internet backbone connection that uses redundant fiber optic OC48 connections.

Q. We would like to redesign our site, but don't have the time to compose the new content information. Can ICG provide this service?

A.  Yes, in some cases ICG has developed the content information within the company's site, by combining industry research, and using collaborative client techniques. This is a service that our competitors simply cannot, or will not offer.
