- Accessibility: response, capacity and security. - Usability (navigational ease), functionality and web site visitor satisfaction. - Search engine optimization to ensure that potential customers will find the client's web site when they search. - Barrier-free web sites (implementing features such as audio compatible content and web site redesigning to accommodate people with disabilities).

While we have always accommodated all of the above needs in our long business history, we give consider accessibility and usability as absolutely essential. Also please take notice of the fact that we are now able to meet the needs for the creation of barrier-free web sites over a wide range, including related new services, such as WEB-Checks and SBS. In addition, when considering ways to provide information in a barrier-free environment, certain important factors are paid special attention: density of information and step by step presentation which can be adjusted to suit a variety of consumers, interests and ability. This calls the adoption of the perspective of "Catch -> Summary -> Flow of details" to the information to be provided. In the case of manufacturers, it is necessary to introduce such functions as product/service selection, needs analysis, optimal condition search, trouble shooting and simulation diagnosis. At the same time, usability needs to be optimized. In addition to compatibility with various mobile models and the capacity to execute full text searches within a web site, it is also necessary to consider the use of translation engines for foreigners. It is now absolutely essential to consider people with disabilities, seniors and others who are visually impaired (including partial color blind) and linguistically disadvantaged with features other than audio browsers (for example, consideration for color arrangement and frame designing). Also emerging is the need for content tailored for multi-tasking users. To accommodate those needs, the streaming of web content (audio and video) should be considered.

When "density of information," "step by step presentation" and streaming of web content are being considered as a package, the rendering of important content with accompanying narration is one solution. Especially, it has become quite essential to make PDF files audio compatible, which have become a de facto standard as electronic documents for the formatted files are difficult to alter, and which can not be voice narrated with audio browsers. For example, if the client wishes to present feature content (such as lectures, seminars, promotions, various events, educational sessions or Investors Relations) effectively, a sequential flow of Catch (intros with brief videos), Summary (voice narration of summarized contents) and Details (presentation of the entire content) should be considered.

We have accumulated deep and widely varied business experience since 1996, providing services mostly to major and foreign-affiliated companies, services ranging from strategic Internet related consulting and web site construction, to system building and Electric Commerce business developments. We can meet all of the potential needs described above, having been actively engaged in this field, serving clients including government offices and public corporations. We are eagerly awaiting your inquiries and expressions of interest, and we look forward to serving you.
