Epnet Web Design Company Established 1997
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not;
nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will
not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not;
the world is full of [educated] derelicts.
Calvin Coolidge
Thirtieth President of the United States (1923-1929) Persistence is the twin sister of
excellence. One is a matter of quality; the other, a matter of
time. Marabel Morgan (Author)
"Innovation is the specific instrument of
entrepreneurship. The act that endows resources with a new
capacity to create wealth.”
Peter F. Drucker |

Professional design companies don't waste your money |
|
Website companies in S.A.
Have you ever had a web site developed for you and when you need to add or make a small change to it you have to wait a long time and it costs you a lot of money? Have you ever had it suggested to you that you pay someone to optimize your web site for search engines in order to get more hits to it? Web design firms carrying enormous overhead have to spend their time looking for other avenues of revenue as they cannot survive on only web design so every change you need and every service you want is charged out to you.
Many of our customers came to EPNET because they had a website developed by another website company in S.A. only to discover several months later their new website was slow, could not be found in search engines, was very hard to add new content or the web designers are never available... We have re-developed many websites to overcome such problems. However, it is better to have your website developed well from the start. |

Internet & Software Development
In addition our computer
experience dates back to the late 80s' working on PCs' in DOS
using such programming languages as Clipper and database systems
such as DBase. We have evolved from this computer experience to
HTML, XML, MS SQL Server, active server pages, javascript and
flash design amongst many other technologies such as Server
technologies, developing Internet SMS, Email newsletters etc.
There is no more experienced website company in S.A. with these
combined skills. Our entire experience has been focused for the
last 29 years on marketing communications and IT Development.
The benefit to you is that you pay the same price as other
companies charge you but none of them can offer this experience
or these skills. Ask yourself would you put your business into
the hands of computer geeks or in a serious, like minded
marketing, IT Skills orientated, business who also understands
the importance of CUSTOMER SERVICE?

EPNET-WEB-DESIGN and customer
service
We are as passionate about our service, as
everything else that we do. Many companies see this
as "something nice to have" or just pay "lip
service" to it, but to us good customer service was
ingrained in our minds many years ago we don't offer
good customer service we just give it to you. Good
customer service is just something we do. Our most
common problem is not pitching up for a meeting on
time but always pitching up for a meeting earlier
than expected! The only delay that we have had in
launching a new website is when we have to wait for
our clients to provide us with material that is
needed on the site.
Persistence in understanding how to do things
better and Innovation in doing it. |
