   Startime Welcomes Year 2000  

YEAR 2000 WEBSITES

Arlington Splendor, our parent company, is now engaging in domain name sales for the next millennium. These names include the year 2000; and, they should be easy to remember in the years surrounding the end of this decade. Look for these  domain names at  www.2000sites.com.

Designing those 2000 sites - Naturally, you will want us to do the design and development of those sites that you acquire at 2000sites.com. Buy one of those choice domain names; and, we'll make you a great package deal.

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

Here we go again - For those customers who see the benefits of JAVA in their websites, Startime has opened up its design options to include a variety of JAVA applets. The JAVA applets being offered to the customers can be found on our JAVA Web page.  All these applets are well "seasoned", being designed by OpenCube, Inc. Among our favorites are the smooth scrolling message board and the manually scrolled message board.

The smooth scrolling board displays a moving column of text in a user defined window.  The user can stop the motion of the message, back it up, and select any number of moving links as they pass buy.

THINK 2000

The next millennium will be upon us before you know it.  In the years to come, the Internet will be an essential part of every serious business enterprise.

 Now is the time to make your plans for a marketing strategy in this critical period preceding the the next millennium.  Startime wants to be a part of your plan.

STILL NO FRAMES

We are holding to our call  that we made in the early days to avoid frames in our Web sites. Frames will almost always defeat Internet search engines when they come scanning the Web site for content and keywords.  We still feel that this was a wise decision on our part; and, we intend to maintain this policy.

Sound content - We think sound adds a great deal to any Web site. Whenever it seems appropriate, we will try to add MIDI sound to your Web pages, unless you ask us not to do so.

Shockwave requires that the browser have a Shockwave plugin; and, we expect that in the latest versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer, that this may well become a standard feature.  Programming for Shockwave is somewhat complex; however, the ability to orchestrate the movement of imagery and associated sounds results in really "cool" effects.

CHANGING  TIMES?

Startime Network is always changing with the times.  We do not let the grass grow beneath our feet.  Our goal is to improve our skills and our services every working day.

We are family oriented in our web page content; and, we have no intention of changing our charter to suit the interests of those who would take the entire Internet into the moral gutter.

NO BANNERS -  NO ADS

Paid advertising has never been in our marketing strategy.  If a customer wants a banner on his Web page, we will certainly honor the customer's wishes.  But, Startime Network does not want to lose focus as to what we are working for.  If money were the only issue, we would have to lower our sights; and, to do so would not be in the best interest of our clients.

Size is never an issue - Startime Network has designed Web sites that are only one page in content. We have also designed sites that are over 40 pages in length.  Typically, a site will have, on average, five Web pages [see U. S. Pharmacy]

We promise that content value and quality will always dictate the environment of our sites. Startime Network sees this as a vital part of the future we intend to shape, with your help.
