Control IT Yourself.com develops, markets, and sells a Web-based software application that enables small business to effectively control Internet technology. We provide a comprehensive communication system for your business including: complete Web site development, free email accounts for you and your staff, extensive customer communication tools, continuous content update, online newsletter, online promotional tools, a customer database, a survey builder and much more. Our team of content writers, Web designers, and programmers allows us to offer a high quality Web system that most stores could not afford to develop and support independently.
What makes Control IT Yourself.com unique is that we recognize that you are unique. We don't believe in the "one size fits all" philosophy of Web development. A diversity of stores with a diversity of customers requires a diversity of Web sites. There's no reason your Web site should look and function like everyone else's. That's why we give you complete control over your site's layout, colors, fonts, images, content, links, banners, and functionality. Our flexible and user friendly technology allows you to cost effectively create and maintain a Web site that is not only professional and unique but also highly functional. With Control IT Yourself.com, it is so easy that within minutes you can get started creating a professional Web site that is as unique as you are.
Unlike the Internet, Control IT Yourself.com's future is predictable. Because technology is racing forward at such an incredible rate, most Internet development will be outdated within two years. To combat this, we have divided our system into as many self-contained components as possible. These components interact and communicate within a framework based on eXtensible Markup Language (XML). XML will allow us to create newer versions of each component, as necessary, without disrupting any other components. This means that we can create and implement a new generation of themes that utilizes a newer technology. This will be done without affecting the workings of the editor that you use and without discontinuing the previous versions that are currently in use. Since XML components are "self-describing," our editor will be able to adjust to and interpret the new layouts. Members using previous layouts may continue to do so without noticing any changes, and they may upgrade as they so desire. In short, our XML-based foundation will allow continual redesign, redevelopment, and repurposing of any element of our system.
The "extensibility" of our system also contributes to its cost effectiveness. Functions and content added to the system must be "disposable" in order to keep up with the current state of technology and practice. Since our system may be updated incrementally, disposable functionality and content becomes cost-effective when utilized by a large member base.
Simply put, we do not attempt to predict the future of the Internet; instead, we have positioned ourselves to be prepared for anything the Internet may throw our way. As our member, you can always be confident that you will be on the cutting edge of Internet Technology.
