ARInternet's WWW Services:
Databases and Search Engines


Today, more and more businesses are using the World Wide Web (WWW) as a marketing and/or information distribution medium, and the Web pages that they are designing are becoming increasingly sophisticated in terms of the information they deliver, and how they deliver it. Product catalogs and interactive order forms, corporate databases, knowledge bases, bibliographies, and many other types of information are now available through a wide variety of Web-based interfaces, using a bewildering array of search engines. New tools are appearing almost daily to make integration of this kind of activity easy and inexpensive, and ARInternet can help its corporate Web hosting customers integrate these features into their Web sites.
