Local Information Systems Site Launched

Weīve just launched a new showcase site for Northern Ireland technology firm Fluent Technology.

The new site showcases their "Origin" product, which is a Local Information System for local government.

The terms Local Information System (LIS) and Data Observatory have emerged over the last 5 years, primarily in the UK public sector.

Origin is a tried and tested, web-based local information system and data observatory solution platform designed specifically for local government and focuses on providing all the necessary tools for maintaining, analysing, collaborating and presenting information at a local level.

The new site provides a range of screen shots and video demonstrations of how this local information system solution works.

Will Your New Web Site Help You Fly High?

When Iīm contacted by a new web design client, one of my first questions to them is to ask why they want a web site.

By far the most common answer is a variation on the theme of "... because every business should have one. Right?".

Quite often, many of the new clients donīt actually have an answer! Thatīs when I get worried about taking on the project!

What is the Goal of Your Site?

The important thing to remember is that a web site is a marketing tool and launching a web site is a marketing activity.

As with all marketing activities, you should know what your trying to achieve and how success should be measured!

Your objectives could be strategic such as transferring your bricks and mortar business to an online business completely. It could be part of your research and development, with you launching your site just to test and explore the potential of a new product or service.

It could be that you are launching the site to dip your toe in the world of online business to see if you can generate some additional cash with minimal cost.

Bike Storage Site To Help Jackīs Dream!

Take, for example, Jack Sinclair, the 16 year old son of my online mate Brendon Sinclair.

Jackīs a young lad with some real go in him! Jackīs goal last year was to complete a charity cycle ride, right across Australia! He completed the mammoth task admirably and raised tens of thousands of dollars for charity.

Jackīs new goal is to obtain his private pilotīs licence. A costly undertaking, Iīm sure.

Jack Sinclair - his achievements mean he gets coverage from Australian Newspapers

So, to help generate some money, Jack has launched his very own bike storage web site. His new site sells a unique and very ingenious overhead bike storage system.

The objectives of Jacks site are to generate some additional cash to fund his dream of becoming a pilot, and to help Jack learn how to run an online business.

The site is already generating sales. Hopefully, in a few months time Jack will be flying high without an instructor at his side. Knowing how dedicated and focussed Jack can be, Iīm sure he will achieve his goal and his web site will have played itīs part.
