InfoPoint was working on commercial applications for the Internet long before most businesses had heard of it and was faced with the problem of gaining experience and a portfolio. The initial direction it took was to build a community directory. Within a few years, easy to use HTML editors and inexpensive Web space put simple Web pages in reach of small businesses who need to do everything themselves. InfoPoint still maintains its community directories mostly for a few large customers. InfoPoint still has most of the larger hotels, restaurants and amusement parks in Santa Cruz as clients. InfoPoint's original customers benefit greatly from this, because the site attracts 850,000 hits a month.

More Recently InfoPoint has been developing Web sites for a variety of businesses. InfoPoint has created database applications for the National Institute of Health and Interactive Information Systems, where marketing and communications people from companies like Oracle, IBM, Microsoft and Sun have successfully used our interface to create catalogs for trade shows. InfoPoint has worked with industries ranging from graphic designers to printers to software companies to universities.

We have learned that a quality Web site is like any other quality business practice. It requires planning, management, documentation, testing and long term support. The experience InfoPoint's founders had had with software development turned out to be just what was needed for the Web.

Now InfoPoint is bringing its expertise and experience to help businesses succeed on the Web. InfoPoint's goal is to build great Web sites. A Web site becomes great by planning, prototyping, documenting and testing; as well as the skills of programmers, writers and artists. Great Web sites are free of errors. Great Web sites change: they are dynamic and alive. Most importantly, a great Web site communicates the greatness of our customer's companies.
