| Why use
Red Widget? |
| It is much cheaper and
faster to use Red Widget. We know the high bandwidth web
application development and hosting business. We've been
hosting websites since 1995. |
| How does Red Widget
build things so quickly? |
| We use a
library of prebuilt objects. We have over 18 man-years
into the construction of the base objects. |
| How does Red Widget
build things so cheaply? |
| We can aggregate the
cost of big ticket software items over a number of projects.
We also save significant amounts of time in the use of
generic code. |
| How do you test out
websites when there are 20 different browser versions?
|
| We have automated robots
that check websites for content problems between the different
browser versions. Also we've been running websites for
over 7 years and know the browser HTML compliance arena
very well. |
| What type of site utilization report do I get?
|
| We generate a monthly report for your site in Adobe Acrobat format.
In addition, at any time you can log into your private page and access Sawmill statistics. |
| I have a small website, can you still help me?
|
| Absolutley.
You get to take advantage of all the tools our "big" sites
get for a fraction of the cost. When we develop internal
tools to monitor our big sites, all sites benefit. For
instance you get a custom monthly report generated by
the same tool that generates the report for a big site. |
| How do you manage so many servers at the same time?
|
| We have automated robots
that check every server constantly for things like memory,
disk space, response time. Usually we know of a problem
and can fix it before you even hear about it. |
| What hardware do I
need to run a Red Widget site? |
| Red Widget
sites are designed to be compatible even with poor equipment
and slow connections. We realize that end users do not
always have the latest and greatest hardware. We have
shifted the bulk of the processing needs to our servers.
If they can get on the web, they can probably use a Red Widget
site. |
| What kind of Internet
connection do I need to run a Red Widget site? |
| None to run the site.
The entire site runs on our servers. Your connection to
access and use the site can be as low as 56k but we recommend
higher speed access for efficiency. |
| What kind of software
do I need to access a Red Widget site? |
| Internet Explorer or
Netscape Navigator and Adobe Acrobat Reader. All are,
of course, free on the web. |
| Who takes care of
the servers? |
| We do. The entire site
runs on our servers, and we take on the headaches of making
sure everything is up and running, allowing you to do
what you do best. |
| If my application
is on an Red Widget server, will it look like my web site? |
| Yes. Odds are your users
will never know they are not on a server owned by you. |
| Who owns
the data collected on the servers? |
| You do. While we do
store data for you, we will not use, reveal, distribute,
sell, rent, or allow your data to be used in any way.
We understand that the information in your web application
is the work product of your company. |
| Technically, what
is Red Widget using? |
| Red Widget
uses a number of very unique approaches. Our applications
are actually binary executables that run directly on the
servers. We load balance the servers which gives us added
flexibility and stability. |
| What does it cost? |
| That depends on a number
of factors including complexity of the application or
bandwidth usage. |
| Group health insurance
or OCIPs. |
