"It's no small can of worms. The firm you select must (among other things) be able to tackle any or all of the following projects: implement the company's e-commerce enabled public Web site, build a completely secure intranet, create a database-driven extranet, and write custom applications that are accessible company-wide via the intranet. Oh, and while we're at it, let's not forget it has to be beautiful, easy to use, interesting to read, fast to download, integrate with other media marketing campaigns, never crash, work within your existing infrastructure, slice bread, and just kick competitor butt in general." - Lori Piquet of Internet Computing

Our services are described below:

Custom Web Development

Custom web development is NOT adding your logo to our templates. When you contract MAC, a team of graphic designers, developers, and managers work together for the sole purpose of giving you what you want. We create your project with the look, feel, and functionality you require. We have been creating e-commerce and informational websites and online software applications since 1996. Internet technology advances by the minute-let us help you advance with it.

Section 508 Compliance

We can assist in ensuring that your website complies with Section 508 ("508" for short) of the Amended Rehabilitation Act of 1998. The final 508 standards were determined on December 21, 2000, by the Access Board, an independent Federal agency devoted to accessibility for people with disabilities. Organizations must implement any necessary changes to their websites by June 21, 2001, when the 6-month grace period established by the mandate expires. MAC provides several solutions to assist in bringing your site into 508 compliance, ranging from software applications and diagnostic reports to retrofitting plans.

Informational Websites

The World Wide Web is not just about selling. The foundation of the web lies in the open exchange of information. Imagine providing your prospects with the information they need to get excited about becoming a customer. Imagine providing your customers with the service they expect to remain your customers. Your website is the perfect medium to do both.

The MAC Web Development team fuses art and technology to create websites that meet your needs.

Database-Driven Content

A database-driven website allows you to easily change the content on your site as frequently as you desire. We configure and teach you how to use a simple database interface to make text updates and changes.

Online Software Applications

The next time you are developing a custom software application to service agency functions, consider the benefits of developing the software to work online. Online software applications allow easy access to information for authorized users from any computer. MAC can develop the software on a secure site on the Internet or behind your agency's firewall on your internal intranet. From work, home, the beach, or anywhere in the world, your employees, contractors, or customers will be able to access and update the information they need.

Professional Web Consulting

From strategy to connectivity, our consulting staff can help your agency move into the next millennium with a sound plan. Our consulting team can help with every part of your planning process, from selecting an Internet service provider (ISP) to envisioning unique online applications specific to your agency. With a MAC consultant on your project team, you are sure to develop a winning new media strategy.
