Web Standards Matter

Web Standards? What’s that?

Imagine driving your car where there are no street lights, stop signs, or lanes; it would be pure chaos. Standards are created for universal order, and the web is no different. Web developers should abide by standards to keep things flowing properly on the internet.

Your site should look the same in all popular browsers. Your content should be accessible if a user has images or stylesheets turned off. Mobile phone browsers should have no problem rendering your data. Developers should also include separate stylesheets to fix Internet Explorer 6 and 7 issues. These are the behind-the-scene steps your web company should take to get the most out of your investment.

Put our competition to the test

There is a very simple way to determine if your web company is abiding by modern web standards. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has created and enforced web standards since 1994, and they offer an online validation tool. Visit their validation page to check the Immense Networks website, then feel free to insert any other web address you want to verify.

Following standards allows your site to be compatible with most internet browsers. It is accessible on mobile devices and even by the hearing/vision impaired community. It becomes more readily indexed by search engines, increasing your ratings. With Immense Networks, you are getting quality design that is standards compliant and coded correctly.

Are you getting the most out of your investment?

Our Hosting is Better

We know we’re not alone in the realm of web design, or even web hosting for that matter. But what the other guys don’t want you to know is why we’re better.

We implore you to ask the other candidates what they do in the event that your site is down. While they will likely give you some glossed over answer about how “they do everything they can” the fact of the matter is that they have no control over the situation. Why? Because they are reselling GoDaddy, 1&1, Lunar Pages, and so on. Doing everything in their power means waiting on hold to be connected to a call center on the other side of the planet to be told that they are not sure when the site will actually come back up.

The hosting fee you pay monthly to your design company actually costs them a little under $3/month. But they are charging you for the level of service that you can only get from a company who actually owns and maintains their own servers.

We own and maintain all of our servers. We have had our servers in dozens of datacenters across the country, and we pride ourselves in using only the best datacenters with speed and reliability as top priority. Our network is solid.

Venyu Datacenter

Venyu combines 30 years of experience between online data backup leader, AmeriVault, and hosting services veteran, NTG. Unified as one, Venyu is a premier provider of data protection, recovery, and availability services.

Colo4Dallas Datacenter

The Colo4Dallas premium network is optimized for performance with direct feeds from four tier 1 carriers. The Internap flow control platform provides the definitive fastest route for your data. And you get all the speed you purchase – guaranteed – without latency or packet loss.

Get a Disaster Recovery Plan

When was the last time you backed up? Do you even know where to go to get the data back? We don’t like using scare-tactics, but backing up is serious business. Even without the constant threat of a rain-storm filling your hard-drive with swamp water, keeping a regular backup has its advantages: You accidentally overwrote the guest list to your daughter’s birthday party next week. Or maybe you just want the version of it before she added the entire eighth grade. No problem. Recover a previous version in seconds.

We know what you’re thinking: Its picture perfect as long as you’re responsible enough to do it. Wrong! We know you’re not going to remember to do it, that’s why we set it up for you, and it is completely automated. You want privacy? No problem. We give you the software, you select the files, how often to backup, and how many versions of each. Done.

The software links to our storage server(s) and keeps your data safe at all times. Don’t feel comfortable backing up to a server in Louisiana? No problem, you can opt to store your data in Dallas.

Support Contract: Scenario 1

We’ve been there. As office manager, keeping work flowing is your number one priority. You have enough to do by yourself without having to worry about every techno-glitch in the office. But you also know that if your people can’t work, neither can you.

So here’s the situation: Jessica the secretary can’t print, Todd hasn’t gotten any email in two days, and Jim can’t get anything off the server. On any other morning, you would be rescheduling everything you had to do that day in a vain attempt to figure these things out. But this morning, these things are not your problem because you have Immense Networks.

Before Jessica even told you there was an issue, she called, we connected, and we solved the problem. When Jessica called, she got a person that knew who she was and was ready to move. We use Bomgar remote support technology to gain shared control of your computer, find the problem, and correct it. Best of all, we’re located right here in Baton Rouge.

Why trust us when it comes to setting up 500 new computers? Because we’ve done it. We know that doing everything right the first time is critical. We spare no detail when creating a universal image that works with every computer at your business.

Our command of group policy is so deep, that your computer will not only make you coffee, but won’t tell you it used light creamer… and you won’t know the difference. We use every available tool to make sure that the roll-out not only goes quickly and smoothly, but can easily be managed by your current IT staff. We work with them during the process to make sure every stone is turned, and when it is done, provide them with the every piece of information they need to keep it rolling. Sounds good? We thought so. Tell us about your project, and we’ll tell you how we can make it better.
