Opper Internet Concepts
What to consider about a web site
On the sites we create, we ask ourselves the following questions:

Then after the site is up, we track the answers to these questions.

Sites need to be designed with the answers to the above questions in mind, and tracked once the sites open. A key element of success on the web is actually keeping things simple and FAST!

For people that need sites that need dynamic content, we work with them to first make sure that the hosting of the site is done on an adequate server solution. Then we work from there on, seeing what we can offer at speed to the people who are the site's market.
