  Corporate Identity & Graphic Arts

TreeTop can complete any graphical requirement you may have.  We cover everything from initial corporate identity branding to robust interactive software graphics including Web2.0 wiki styles and flow.

  Programming

Do not treat programming like a science.  It is NOT a science. It is an ART!  We have seen eighth graders who could do pretty impressive work.  It has been our experience that "programming" has come to mean different things to many people. While the majority of those individuals in the industry today can do an adequate, and many times, superior job of "programming," we have found that it is just not that simple.  What language makes sense? How scalable is the site? What future planning and enhancements might the client require? 

First, creating the product right the first time can save the client a great deal of frustration, time, and yes...money.  No one likes to pay for the same real estate twice. Do it right, the first time! 

  Online Commerce

Thinking about selling a product or service online? Let us help. First, you need a storefront. There are many ways to approach selling on the Internet.   It takes planning. Spend time deciding on HOW to best approach Internet commerce BEFORE jumping into this, often expensive, trap.  You need to ask yourself:

  • Do I want to create my own storefront or use one of popular Internet offerings?
  • Which storefront offers the best deal on the service level you require?
  • Which offers the best technology advancements and customization?
  • How many items do I sell now? 
  • How scalable do I want to be?
  • Do I want to take credit cards?
  • How do I compare payment processing & fees?  Where is my best deal?

Treetop can guide you through this process and either design a custom-built storefront or facilitate your use of an existing application.

  Hosting

Ok, so you own the greatest website in the world and you are ready to go.  Where do you put all your hard work?  What about back-ups?  How is your online security? Is your valuable data safe from destruction such as a catastrophic fire or weather related event? Do you have redundancy? Do you have an approved back-up plan in place?  What if your back-up plan fails? What if it succeeds?  Are you employees familiar with your plan and do you have the confidence in them to sleep well at night knowing your data is safe 24/7, 365 days every year?  If you answered no to any of these questions then TreeTop has a solution!
