Honest Internet Advice Locally
 Northern
Rivers Gateway's Steve Welstead.
Northern Rivers Gateway (NRG) has been providing Internet services locally since 1995.
The company's founder, Steve Welstead, explained how in the last seven years the Internet industry was overtaken by entrepreneurial dot.coms with a speculative
share market, which went from boom to bust. As the Internet industry settles down, Steve sees a return to more traditional core business values both locally
and internationally. 'You get what you pay for', as the old adage goes.
When looking at setting up a web site for a business or individual Steve says the cost can vary considerably, depending on the amount of work entailed.
"The most commonly asked question we get is 'how much does a web site cost?', which is like going to a car dealer and asking 'how much is a car?'," Steve
said. "We take the time to get to know a client's business, in order to find out what they really need so we can give them an informed quote."
Steve says there are a number of local website-related horror stories that other businesses should look out for. Here are two examples of these stories:
- Web developers who offer low cost shopping trolley or e-commerce sites but don't cover the customer's entire product range. This action cripples the
website but the web developer denies email orders until the incomplete workmanship is paid for.
- A local business SPAMming thousands of junk emails to customers with a new virus - legal action is now pending from disgruntled recipients of the email/virus.
