Midwest Technical Associates produces ACTION Web Sites. Not the kind that keeps your browser loading because of some spinning gizmo graphic. MTA produces virtual storefronts and commercial web sites that generate Business ACTION.

We've been at the business of commercial web site and virtual storefront production since Mosaic was the hot new browser (1994). And we've seen IPP (Internet Presence Provider) companies come and go. Mostly, go.  When the WWW was new, it was dominated primarily by academics and those loveable Geeks and Nerds. But, as the Web has matured as a serious commercial medium, it has eventually become apparent that artistic flaire and cool gizmos doesn't move products or sell services.

MTA is owned and managed by businesspeople. You'll find no animated graphics on this commercial site nor on any virtual storefront sites that we build (unless the client absolutely insists). We believe that a judicious use of static graphics, permitting quick loading by everyone's browser, instills a more amenable attitude with the visitor. The old adage of "first impressions." Besides that, it's downright discourteous to expect a visitor to your commercial web site to hang in there while that oh-so-cool spinning gizmo graphic crawls onto the page. At least until everyone's running at least at a full 56kbps and has a computer that will handle the latest browser, we'll turn out commercial web sites and virtual storefronts that load quickly, please the customer -- and make the sale.

Here are some of the talents and features MTA offers to our commercial web site and virtual storefront clients:

  • Web sites with Your Bottom Line as the primary focus that guides design, layout, navigation and production of the finished commercial web site or virtual storefront.
  • Custom CGI scripting, including the use of JavaScript, Perl scripts, Shopping Carts and whatever the client may require.
  • Advanced scripting for generating pages on the fly that can work in conjunction with large databases for things such as online catalogs.
  • Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for encrypted transactions.
  • And possibly the biggest advantage clients realize with MTA is that we are the parent company of Web Merlin Marketing. Where so many services use robotic means to shotgun search engine and web directory registrations, Web Merlin goes about the job as a marksman. Inglorious manual labor -- and it works. All MTA clients enjoy the cream of the crop in commercial web site marketing as the marketing and promotion of all MTA client sites by Web Merlin is included.
