One of the many factors that would make your website stand out is the Photos. Photos add color and life to your website. There are stock photos readily available for your use. Some are royalty free, and some for a small fee. Just as there are talents behind designing websites, there would also be talents behind these photos. It's good to know that I know someone of this caliber. I would personally recommend her works. She posts some of her works here .

At our company, Trimaran Solutions Inc., we have been doing our best efforts in keeping our applications licensed. This included using Free and Open Source Software. Among these include: -PHP/MySQL -Firebird database -.Net Framework What I am eying now is the use of free Software Development IDEs for Linux (Mono for the use of .net in Linux). It will not be long when the majority of the Philippine IT industry embraces the use of FOSS. "It's just a matter of marketing for non-marketers."

File upload - you can upload files to your site for its readers to download. SEO / Search Engine Optimization - yo

Now for my first formal post, here are terms that business entities may encounter with IT (just google them up and you'll find tons of info) : CRM - Customer Relationship Management ERP - Enterprise Resource Planning What is a CRM?
