As a resource for information, as a method of performing online ordering and supply, as a way to sell a service or a product or simply as a way to participate in the great efficiencies of Email as a communications medium, businesses are getting connected in great numbers. Morningside's web publishing services provide a unique solution for business services. For businesses whose clients are mostly drawn from local and regional sources, the Morningside sites which promote our towns and region, provide the ideal platform for local businesses, however small, to be promoted to the Internet. For example, if an Internet user is looking for an electrician in the Ulladulla area, we feel that it is inappropriate for that user to have to go to some American search engine to satisfy that request. The communities themselves are promoted to the Net and local businesses obtain derivative benefit through their links under the appropriate business categories in the community website.
Some sites try to obtain credit card information which is then sent to the business by way of email.
This is a very unsecure method and is likely to be avoided by knowledgable users. Almost all computer manufacturers, software developers and general businesses of all kinds are making massive investments in the Internet. Its establishment as a fundamental tool for doing business in the 21st century seems inevitable. Now is the time for you to make your first steps so that you will not be left behind as the Internet juggernaut sweeps rural Australia as it is already doing in the cities.
