Hats Off To Our Network Team

This month, we'd like to devote some space to an often-unrecognized part of the MediaVue family - our Network Team. Our web designers and programmers produce great-looking, highly functional sites, and our marketing specialists improve search engine rankings - and all receive well-deserved kudos from our customers. However, toiling behind the scenes in relative obscurity are the dedicated individuals on our Network Team - these are the people responsible for ensuring that your website remains running, and they do a great job. 

When someone goes to your website, it must come up, and come up quickly. So, our Network Team has two goals - reliability and speed. In addition, month after month, they consistently produce in both areas. The average website on the Internet has 8 hours of downtime each month - the average MediaVue site has less. In addition, the average MediaVue website loads faster than 80-90% of all other websites on the Internet. 

As a MediaVue customer, you'll probably never meet or talk to anyone on our Network Team, but be thankful they're here. We are proud of the work that they do, and we are all appreciative of their efforts. 

..........................................................................
Have a productive and profitable September. The management and staff at MediaVue wish you the very best with your business websites. Please remember, if you need us for anything at all, to help you in any way--we're as close as the phone or e-mail.
