This section details the services offered by CLOSE2THEEDGE (C2E) Solutions. Our goal is to provide high quality website solutions
that exceed the expectations of our customers. An incredible attention to detail, the ability to anticipate
user needs and the desire to be unique are the ingredients that set C2E Solutions apart from the competition.
C2E Solutions values quality over quantity. We desire to build long-lasting relationships with our customers and to provide them
with a quality product that will serve them for many years. We are not in the business of throwing together quick, cookie-cutter websites
that will require an overhaul or redesign in another six months time. We will work with you to discover what your website need is, and how to best meet that need.
C2E Solutions is also willing to undertake projects that do not fall under the service categories below. We are a complete information technology resource that takes great pride
in problem solving. If we are unable to meet your need, then we can at least provide research and analysis to assist you in taking the next step.
C2E Solutions provides the ability to build web-based applications in a variety of technologies for both internal and external environments. We are fluent in the use of the .NET Framework, Classic ASP, PHP, CSS and object oriented languages such as C#.
We also have experience creating websites with Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Content Management Server technologies.
C2E Solutions employs a multi-tier architecture in every application with an emphasis on a robust
database structure using SQL, MySQL or Access database technology.
Functionality, code quality and modularity have always been top priority in any web
application that C2E Solutions creates.

C2E Solutions specializes in innovative web designs that are both easy to use and are visually appealing.
Each design is created to meet the needs of a website’s target audience and purpose. Our approach is to create designs
that are appropriate for business websites and unique designs for alternative, non-business websites. Every design emphasizes a
consistent theme, easy-to-use navigation, crisp content presentation and an appropriate use of graphics.
Each website is designed to work with all standard browsers and user environments as well as being
optimized for speed with a light user interface.
C2E Solutions creates website designs for a variety of needs. Below is a description of our approach to different website needs:
Business Sites
Our philosophy when designing a business website is to provide an appealing presentation while maintaining a
professional appearance. Every part of the website should effectively advertise the strengths of the
business as well as encourage the user to make further contact with the business. Because of the nature
of search engines, any page of the website may be the user’s first impression of the business so every
page must count.

Non-Profit Sites
Some non-profit websites, especially those aimed at younger audiences, provide the opportunity for
greater creativity and experimentation. Every page should be eye-catching and encourage explorations.
However, the same high standards of consistent theme, easy-to-use navigation and crisp content
presentation still apply.

Personal Sites
A personal / portfolio website, especially when the subject is a creative artist, allows the greatest creative
freedom because the goal is to showcase creativity and stand out from the rest of the pack.
Untraditional, “outside-the-box” designs are used to increase “eye candy” appeal and encourage
repeat visitation.

Intranet Sites
Intranet sites are unique in that many follow the same designing philosophy as business sites, but with a
greater emphasis on performance and compliance with existing internal brand guidelines and less
emphasis on creativity and a graphic-heavy appearance. Intranet users are generally company employees
who need to use the site for business purposes and to do their work. Because of this, an intranet site
should be “leaner”, with the needed information and functionality to be available to the user as quickly
and efficiently as possible, with fewer distractions. As opposed to an external business website which is
designed to encourage exploration of the site to learn more about the business, an intranet site should
present content in a way where users can get what they need in as few navigation “clicks” as possible.

C2E Solutions offers a wide range of superior graphics services. Our services include the creation of professional looking logos and images for either website
or print media use. We also create banner and splash images used for marketing and advertisement purposes. If you already have images and want them optimized and compressed
for use on a website, we provide that service as well.
We also provide photo or magazine scanning and editing services if you want to preserve old memories or if you want to improve a photograph for a public presentation.

Do you already have a working website but would like to improve its search engine ranking?
C2E Solutions offers a search engine optimization service that is ideal for your needs.
We will upgrade existing HTML code to the current standard, add CSS stylesheets to the website, improve the website's navigation structure and check for broken links and images.
We will improve the website's content to contain more descriptive keywords and also improve the website's metadata. This will all serve to improve the way search engines crawl and rank your website.
In addition to these services, C2E Solutions will work to improve your website's performance by compressing and optimizing images, performing a code and database structure review and providing an
alternative to heavy Flash and applet plug-ins.
C2E Solutions will also submit your website to search engines and will provide an overall strategy on how to increase your website's visibility.
