Webwork is a leading edge Australian company started by people who were leaders in the Internet revolution in California.
Young, creative and entrepreneurial people with extensive design talents run the majority of web design businesses but usually lack business and software programming experience. This results in graphic rich and visually appealing websites but they usually have a poor "back end" and little consideration is given for the website owners' to be able to modify content.
We believed that the way of the web would change and it was important for businesses not to be lured into the web because of peer pressure and the perception that they had to do it. There has been a lot of talk about the new economy versus the old economy and a rush to separate them and, as mentioned above, a lot of very appealing websites have been produced with too much graphical content, poor navigation within the website, and either insufficient information or information overload.
The first thing we do is work with our customers to assess how (and if) their old economy business can benefit from the Internet. We have extensive experience in Business Management and Commerce and we bring this knowledge with us in advising our customers how they can obtain an advantage by having a web presence. In production we take a more minimalist approach to a website developing it as a tool for the business to provide information in a concise and attractive manner and, wherever possible, creating the methodology for added revenue as a result of the website.
We encourage people to see the Internet not only as an extension of their existing business but a way to achieve considerable improvement in many of their operations. Telstra's recent announcement that they will discount those customers who pay their bills on-line is very justifiable; we are currently working with a customer who has calculated that for every 1000 customers who will accept on-line invoicing they will save $5000 per month.
As a company we offer unique talents, depth of experience, creativity, and a practical no- nonsense approach to business. We have the ability to advise and consult on everything to do with the Internet from purchase of suitable hardware, development of databases, enabling on- line commerce for Business to Business and Customer to Business and how to make the investment in the new economy a Value Added Resource. We also have our own servers and offer website hosting only for our customers.
