"To Whom It May Concern:

Greg did a wonderful job designing ourff website. He was fast, efficient and effective in capturing what we wanted to portray on our website.  Greg is easy to get in touch with, and very accommodating. He knows how to get your site listed in a way to direct the most traffic to your website. I would recommend Greg to any business that is not on the web yet."

ARE YOU UPDATED WITH THE LATEST BROWSER?

In order to get the most out of the Internet, and our site, you need the latest and best browser. We have included a list of browsers that give you the features necessary to utilize all the latest technological breakthroughs that are taking place on the internet.

Make sure that you do not turn off javascript enabling in your browser. Most quality websites make use of javascript. In general, a newly downloaded browser is setup to run javascript.

FIREFOX RATED 8 OUT OF 10: PORT CITY'S BROWSER OF CHOICE!

THE GOOD: Firefox has a tabbed interface; includes a pop-up blocker; built-in, multiple search tools; and built-in RSS reader. It is stable and free.

THE BAD: No ActiveX support, so not all sites work in Firefox.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Firefox's tabbed browsing, RSS support, security features, and overall cool factor make it more attractive than Internet Explorer.

NETSCAPE RATED 7.7 OUT OF 10:

THE GOOD: Intuitive interface; emphasizes secure browsing; lots of customization options; live weather and newsfeeds; displays site certificates to combat phishing attacks.

THE BAD: RSS feeds are cumbersome to add; installs AOL AIM whether or not you want it.

THE BOTTOM LINE: We like Netscape 8's customization features and its emphasis on security; however, we wish this new version included the native RSS support found in Apple Safari RSS.

DOWNLOAD HERE

OPERA RATED 7.5 OUT OF 10:

THE GOOD: Opera 9 integrates BitTorrent media downloads, offers Widgets for your desktop, and is more secure than Internet Explorer.

THE BAD: Not all of the new features in Opera 9 will be useful to everyone; the RSS feeds page is clunky at best.

THE BOTTOM LINE: We really like Opera 9, but we like it more as the cool, arty browser that it is and not as our everyday workhorse for the Internet.

INTERNET EXPLORER RATED 7 OUT OF 10: PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM FOR US!

THE GOOD: Includes a pop-up blocker; takes advantage of built-in security within Windows XP SP2; selectively blocks ActiveX support.

THE BAD: Suffers from chronic security holes; no RSS reader; available only within Windows XP SP2; expensive technical support.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Unless your business has specific ActiveX technology needs, you are much more secure running Firefox than Internet Explorer.

SAFARI(MAC) RATED 7.8 OUT OF 10

THE GOOD: Fast; includes a pop-up blocker; simple interface; integrated Google toolbar; easy bookmark management; features tabbed browsing and autofill.

THE BAD: Lacks advanced security or customization settings; no way to customize default toolbar search engine.

THE BOTTOM LINE: If you're only after speed, try Safari but keep your other browser, too. Try Camino if you crave advanced settings.

  • This is the least expensive option. However, least expensive does not always equal most cost effective. If you really know what you're doing and feel comfortable with the technology involved, you can build your website yourself. There are generic, inexpensive templates that you can purchase and software that will help you build your site; we can advise you on this option at a consulting fee of $65 an hour.

  • These days everyone has a "friend" in the web design business. This friend will sometimes even give you a price discount. That's great. But one word of caution - make sure your friend has the expertise and the experience to do the job correctly. There is no worse position than to be working with a friend and NOT be happy with the end results. It is easier to be honest with a professional that you don't have a personal relationship with.

  • In all probably you'll get high quality work, but you'll also pay for it and it can take time. High priced web consulting firms are not known for their quick turnaround and if you're a smaller client, you may not get the same time and attention that bigger clients get.

  • With Port City Portland Maine, you get quality work but at a fraction of the cost. Website projects through Port City Portland Maine are completed very quickly and cost 20-35% less than those at major web design firms. We give all our clients the necessary attention they need and our job is not finished until you are satisfied.
