Sunrise Promotions
Sunrise Promotions offers Web design, Web
consultancy, Web promotion. We can also offer advice on
security, with special emphasis on viruses and encryption.
Sunrise Promotions lays the emphasis on clean
uncluttered Web pages with fast delivery of information.
Everyone is aware of the problem - Internet is too slow. The
underlying problem is the lack of bandwidth. A problem that is
compounded by poor Web page design. Pages that are cluttered
with images that convey little if any information. Pages that
guarantee maximum download time. Pages that guarantee that few
people will see them. Graphics may superficially enhance a page
but this is of transient value if visits to the the page are
infrequent due to the access time.
Sunrise Promotions offers a minimalist approach.
A page has to stand or fall on the text alone. Graphics are
included but only where the graphics add to the information
content of a page. The emphasis is on maximum download of
information in the minimum time. To guarantee visits and return
visits the page has to offer something useful to the user.
Eco-pages have moved to Gaia.
