Web Design

These days, everybody seems to be in the business of developing websites ... the kid next door, your nephew, and the corner grocer.

Unfortunately, the kid next door, your nephew and the corner grocer develop websites that look as though they were developed by the kid next door, your nephew or the corner grocer. What is worse, they usually don't accomplish the goals of the website owner, which may be to convey information effectively, to sell, to project a certain image or any number of other goals.

We have been designing and implementing effective websites since 1996. We never recommend to our clients that they launch costly websites without any thought to how exactly that website is going to pay off.

Our knowledge of what works in the marketplace comes from our ownership and operation of several highly visited and revenue generating websites. Our expertise can be seen by visiting a sampling of our highly visited destination websites, such as BeachDirectory.com, EurekaSprings.com or Hattiesburg.com (operated through our affiliate company Logical Sites, Inc.) Ask yourself: does your nephew or corner grocer have this kind of track record?

Let us use our considerable design skills and experience to implement a professional looking site that you won't be ashamed to show customers and that will accomplish your goals.

SPAM and Virus Email Filtering

SPAM has become the scourge of email. If unaddressed, it clogs email and drains employee productivity … the number of hours and dollars lost to dealing with SPAM in the United States translate into the Gross Domestic Product of some small countries. When SPAM involves mobile email platforms, it can be a usability killer. The Valueforge Securence email filter is a hosted application that features near‐zero false positives.

The accuracy and efficiency of this product is second to none in the marketplace. It’s key features are:

Near‐zero false positives. Many SPAM filters mistakenly identify good email as SPAM. This type of mistake requires users to diligently review their SPAM to assure that critical emails are not lost. The act of reviewing SPAM can be nearly as time‐consuming as manual deletion without a filter. To avoid frequent false positives, these inferior filters require a significant amount of finetuning to train them to avoid throwing out the baby with the bath water. Even after all this customization, false‐positives still occur, only less frequently.
Valueforge’s SPAM filter is based on the use of SPAM definitions similar to anti‐virus definitions. Our filter constantly reviews the contents of known SPAM that we purposely gather in “honeypots” placed over the Internet for the express purpose of attracting SPAM. This review generates definitions of known SPAM that we use in filtering email. Only the email that meets our filter definitions is removed. The result is that your clients’ emails reach your desk.
Our filter solution is designed to work with organizations that have as few as five, or as many as 50,000 employees. We offer a 30‐day money back guarantee. If you do not like our product for any reason, simply notify us and tear up your initial invoice.
