The advent of the World Wide Web and its universal penetration into the living spaces of the consumer is generating a cultural sea change. Gone is the investment required to build a physical pathway to the marketplace Gone is the cost required to build relationships with retailers and middlemen. Web Commerce represents the shortest distance between the producer and the consumer. Just as the emergence of cheap available electricity early in the 20^th century facilitated the migration from agriculture to industry, the Internet is creating an historic paradigm shift in the way business will be conducted for the foreseeable future.

FDT brings the full force of this revolution to bear on the success of your business. Our track record of proven success in the "real world" of business, our client oriented service, nationally recognized technical staff, and our scaleable Web-commerce solutions are designed to bring your business out of relative obscurity into a position of prominence in the global economy.

Two commonly held misconceptions about E-commerce:

"If you build it they will come." While that statement may be true of baseball parks in cornfields it is pure hype when it comes to the World Wide Web. FDT understands the technical issues of creating and publishing your business web site as well as anyone on the net. We also understand that when your company’s growth hinges on getting your message or product to the marketplace over the net you need to be able to rely on someone to advocate and provide you with direction. FDT has assembled a team of Web Commerce Consultants who can help you create a corporate web presence with the ability to get the job done.

"Search engines and keywords are the secret." Balderdash! This is perhaps the greatest myth of the electronic revolution. Marketing your web site is much more than just registering it with search engines. Successful marketing of every successful web site is comprised of a concerted effort including traditional advertising, paid web marketing, search engine management, and strategic alliances with successful web sites.

FDT’s Primary E-Commerce Principles:

"Form follows function." This is the model for all successful e-commerce sites. Whether your company needs to generate awareness of its services, or deliver a product and fulfill the payment, FDT has the scaleable solution. Spinning, flaming animations are great if your intent is to entertain, but if you want to sell products the site has to sell products first and foremost.

"The market will not wait." The Internet is full of talent, but the vast majority of its professionals are born of academia. Challenges common to the business community like DEADLINES, AND BUDGETS tend to be viewed with righteous indignation by many "web gurus." FDT will set and meet deadlines.

"The path of least investment." E-commerce creates a sales force of potentially hundreds of thousands of reps. They all express your mission statement 24/7 with uniform enthusiasm, dedication, and diligence. No longer is your business prey to the limitation of trading hours for dollars. This sales force makes house calls, doesn’t call in sick, can’t get hurt, and requires no benefits. They don’t take vacation, won’t relocate, or take another job. They only service potential clients who have discretionary income, and who have expressed interest in your product.
