“Bringing your business to the Internet”

















- If you have already purchased a domain name and hosting account, we can design and
install a complete web site on that domain. If you have not yet purchased a domain,
TLC Webs can provide you with a domain name of your choosing (assuming the name is
available) and act as your hosting service.
- TLC Webs will work with you to design a web presence for your company that is esthetically
and visually appealing, functional, and will properly represent your company and
its services/products.
- Whether you want a basic informational web site, a live customer support system,
e-commerce, or a social community we can provide you with a system that will fit
your needs.
- We can help you move your site up in the search engines by using proven techniques
that will, over time, bring your site into the top pages of search engine listings.
Though no one but Google can guarantee first page listings (and then only in sidebar
ads), we can help you get the best exposure possible. Other companies that tell
you they will, for a nominal fee, list your web site with hundreds of search engines
and databases to get you on the first page of Google use unrealistic search phrases
to accomplish this. Real life searches by potential clients and customers will usually
not produce the same results.
- TLC Webs can provide ongoing support to ensure that your web site is kept up to date,
is as secure as possible, and in the event that a hacker or malicious code interrupts
service we can eliminate the threat and help get your site functioning again in a
timely manner.
- We are not just another startup company, we have years of experience in the computer
industry and web development. TLC has been helping people computerize and automate
their business for over 30 years, and we have watched many other technology startups
come and go during that time. We offer stability in an often unstable market.
- You may already have a web site that has been set up by another company, a friend,
a relative, or an employee. Does the site represent your company the way you thought
it would? Does it look good? Is it as functional as you’d like it to be? Are potential
clients and/or customers able to find your site? Are your site statistics showing
that search engines are actively accessing and cataloging your site? Did you even
know it was possible to get that information?
- We are happy to discuss web services that TLC can offer your business. Since you
have found the TLC Webs site it probably means you are not entirely happy with your
current web site. You are looking at other possible options. You have come to the
right place.
- A large number of businesses will invest a great deal of time and money to have a
web presence developed for them, only to find the end result is not what they had
hoped for. Because of the cost already incurred, they decide to settle for what
they have rather than invest even more time and money to correct the problem. This
is never a good business decision. If you can tell your web site is not what it
should or could be, so can your clients, customers, and visitors to your site.
- Have you been told that something you’d like to have on your site is not possible,
or too difficult? Maybe you are talking to the wrong people. Some web site features
are time consuming to create, and can come at a cost, but there is very little that
can’t be done. We can explain the various options you may want on your site, listen
to your needs and requirements, and work together to come up with a viable solution
that better suits your intended purpose for your web site.
- The bottom line is that you want your web site to produce results, whether that
be sales, support, information about your company, or simply contact information
so clients and customers can more easily find you.
“Clients shop for web design and hosting companies for one of two reasons. Either
they have never had a web presence and are ready to let the world know about their
company, or they currently have a web site that is just not producing the desired
results.”
“Putting the World Wide Web at your fingertips”
If you are in this category, you have a great deal to think about right now. Do
I need a web site? What can a web site do for my business? How do I know if a particular
web site design company can provide me with a site that will benefit my company?
If you are in this category, you have even more to consider than the person above.
You’ve already been through the process at least once and it didn’t produce the
desired results. Should you do it again, or should you just accept what you have?
- Can you guarantee my new site will be on the first page of a Google search every
time?
The short answer is no. The only company that can guarantee you will show up on
the first page of a Google search every time is Google, and then only in sidebar
search ads. Other “SEO” companies that say they can get you there may be somewhat
misleading. We explain why here.
- Can you guarantee my new site will be secure against hackers?
Once again, no web design or hosting company can make that guarantee. We can, however,
help you make your site as secure as possible using the best and most current tools
available.
Again, the short answer is no. No company can guarantee a web site will generate
more business. Though that is the goal and the intention of the web site, there
are too many other factors involved to throw out that kind of promise. Done correctly,
however, and promoted well, a good web site will almost always benefit a company.
In today’s market the general public simply expects a company to have a good web
presence in order for a client or customer to easily, and from the comfort of their
living room, find out more information about you and your services/products.
- Can you guarantee my new web site will generate business for my company?
- Will my site look like all the other sites on the Internet?
Though there will always be some resemblance between various sites, in most cases
we do not use ‘cookie cutter’ templates like so many current web design companies
that will make your site look exactly like hundreds of others. Your site will be
unique to you and your needs, designed from the ground up exclusively for your business.
TLC Webs Design & Hosting
- Can you build a storefront for my web site?
- Can you build a CMS (content management system) for my web site?
TLC Webs does not build storefronts from scratch except in cases where there will
be a minimal number of items in the store. Instead, we install, set up, and configure
solid, proven, industry standard software that will provide you with the best possible
service and security. ‘Home grown’ software generally has inherent problems being
supported by anyone other than the original developer, as well as potential security
issues.

has inherent problems being supported by anyone other than the original developer.
It is also generally much less secure than commercial quality software.

Why yes, in Helsinki, Finland it is:
