Website Development
DIS specializes in producing simple, user friendly websites that meet the client's on-line needs and their budget. We have been involved in producing small, medium and large websites that range from a simple 5 page site for a guesthouse to a 5000 page travel and tourism website with dynamic content and e-commence solutions. We specialize in creating dynamic database driven websites that are updatable from a secure user interface. This approach allows our client to keep their website content up-to-date and fresh.
Our focus is on the user experience and the ease of navigation of the site. We believe strongly in the "three click" principle… if the user needs more that three clicks from anywhere in the site to get further information, then we've failed at our job. This simple philosophy has been applied to all the sites we have produced, from the simplest five page website to enterprise wide 5000 page websites.
The DIS approach is simple and effective and it works for our varied clients.

Paid for listings:
In order to fast track your OnLine presence in some of the major search engines, it may be necessary to use paid for listing services. Some search engines charge for guaranteed listings on an annual basis.

E-Business Strategy
Weather it's an established bricks and mortar(dot BAM) business or a new virtual dot com, taking your business OnLine isn't just about putting up a website and hoping to strike it rich. Careful consideration must be given to all aspect of your OnLine strategy from assessing your expected outcome to the impact of increased sales on your existing infrastructure. We go through a rigorous process of evaluating all aspects of your OnLine venture and guide you through the process of developing a business plan with particular emphasis on needs analysis and outcome expectations.

DIS specialize in producing immersive 360 degree IPIX or panoramic images. Images can also be burned onto CD ROM as an electronic catalog.

Project Management
Taking your business OnLine is no longer a matter of designing a good looking website and publishing it and hoping that it will all work out. Project managing the development and deployment of an Internet presence is a highly complex series of events that need to interface in a meaningful, productive and cost effective way in order to bring the project to a successful conclusion. DIS is able to manage this process from the initial stages of needs analysis and business objective assessment, through the design of the look and feel that incorporates the navigation structure and site architecture, the development of the website and the integration into the existing business systems. We have managed projects that range from small 10 page sites to enterprise wide cross platform solutions involving a team of 10 developers and designers in diverse locations across three continents.
