Web Sites

What to Expect From a Standard Web Site

All standard web sites are created fully XHTML compliant, meeting current standards specifications as set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).  All standard web sites include up to five pages, filled with your own text, pictures, and graphics. 

What is a SPAM-Bot?

A Harvest-Bot is any automated program that searches web sites for information.  Many of these are harmless in purpose.  Most search engines, such as those used by Google and Yahoo, make use of these harvesting bots to provide mutually beneficial information services to both web site owners and their prospective clients.  Most even respect requests by certain web sites or pages to opt out from being searched, though not all do. 

However, a SPAM-Bot is a specific type of harvesting bot, focused on collecting e-mail addresses that will then be sold and resold to the SPAM industry.  Other types of harvesting bots, or even the same ones, may focus on collecting any potentially personal and private information, ignoring any and all do-not-scan-me requests, and with even less tasteful purposes. 

Burkhart Technology Services is fully aware of the unethical, yet prevalent presence of SPAM-Bots.  So as a preventative measure against SPAM-Bots, all of the pages for a standard web site now include a unique, custom technique of hiding e-mail addresses from bots while displaying as normal, clickable e-mail addresses for real visitors. 

All standard web sites are built using the latest Microsoft Expression Studio, helping to assure conformity to current and future internet standards and enabling easy future integration of the latest in emerging technologies, such as .Net (Dot Net) and Silverlight, and PHP or ASP.Net for interactivity.  All standard web sites are templated using the latest Microsoft Expression Web software, assuring complete uniformity throughout all pages, enduring future changes, and enabling rapid page addition or enhancement. 

What to Expect From a Custom Web Site

All custom web sites, at the very least, feature custom graphics and photograph enhancements, a picture gallery, subtle special effects for page transitions, and subtle pointer hovering effects for navigation buttons or tabs.  With superb attention to detail, the custom graphics and photograph enhancement services included with a custom web site will suit any preference.  The picture gallery provided with a custom web site makes use of XML for maintainability and Adobe Flash technology for smooth transitions and special effects. 

As more and more people are accessing their e-mail directly on their service provider's web site, web contact forms are quickly becoming a necessity for web sites.  Soon the click-to-email links will not work for the majority of web site visitors.  All custom web sites hosted by Burkhart Technology Services make use of a web contact form to facilitate visitor communication as well as the legacy click-to-email technique. 

Burkhart Technology Services specializes in custom web sites.  So whatever your web site need is, Burkhart Technology Services will come up with a custom solution just for you.  There is no limit to the possibilities or the number of pages for your web site.  Yes, your vision is okay.  And, no, it's not a typographical error.  You read that correctly.  There is never a limit on the number of pages for a custom web site provided by Burkhart Technology Services.  Your custom web site will only be limited by imagination. 

Don't let the versatility of the services provided by Burkhart Technology Services stop at just a web site.  Have your web site coordinate with custom logos, e-mails, stationary, billboards, banners, flyers, mailers, and other advertising media.  Burkhart Technology Services can work with your vendor's requirements for format and portability of all graphic imagery on the web site.  You could even have your web site mailed to your clients or friends on CD.
