Introducing the DyKIDo! Platform

Introducing a new way: If you've read anything at all about e-communities and knowledge networks you probably know at least three things: (1) they are an exciting way to network and share knowledge; (2) they can be quite difficult to create and manage; and (3) they often required unaffordably expensive and complicated software.DyKIDo! is set to change all that ... DyKIDo! is different from the normal models for web based e-community software. For a start it's not complicated. Developed for the layman, DyKIDo! doesn't require an author or administrator of the system to know anything about software, web technology, or even HTML. With DyKIDo! any authorized individual can submit, edit, and immediately view published content directly through the website. No special skills, knowlegde or services of a webmaster are required.

These are great if you have the desire to learn and master their techniques, and then the time to actually create your website. We take a different approach. We provide you with a complete solution including: design, hosting, maintenance, support, and administration. You need only focus on the actual content you want on your website as we insultate you from the underlying technology and issues. Managing you content is as simple as using Microsoft Word, a web browser, and a mouse.

Quick Solution Delivery

NEAR IMMEDIATE AVAILABILITY

Your website is typcially published and fully accessible within 72 hours of when you confirm you want us to create it for you. Most of this delay is due to the time required by the Internet infrastructure to process and propagate changes associated with pointing your website url (www. xxxxx .com) to our domain name servers. In the meantime, your webiste can be available for content load within 24 hours of placing your order with us. Custom websites and enhancements will naturally take longer to deliver. Customers usually begin with a base configuration, and then make enhancements to it as the gain experience and their needs and desires evolve.

Personal Touch

REAL PEOPLE - REAL SUPPORT - NOT SELF-SERVE AUTOMATION

We are not a volume oriented shop where you fill out a self-service form, containing technical acronyms you don't understand, that in turn drives automated creation of a website not up to your expectations. When dealing with us, you deal with real people, who are dedicated and focused on understanding and meeting your needs. We meet you on your level, making technoloy simple. Instead of requiring you to read pages and pages of self-help postings, we strive to personally understand your needs and desires, and then make it happen. The drawback to this is we can only support a limited number of new projects at a time, so we may not be able to immediately engage in your project.
