About Us
In this rapidly evolving knowledge economy W3's multinational business experience provides a unique advantage in the high-tech arena. Our core operations for the past seven years have been internationally focused, digitally minded and culturally responsive. With customers from Milan to Montreal, we have worked with our clients to build meaningful, useful websites and online tools that make it possible to reach new and larger global markets.
W3 builds smart solutions. The key to website success is not just in graphics and text but also in form and function. The tool must suit the need, whether that need is for high-tech b2b applications, secure internal resources for distributed offices, or simply for easy-to-access online information. By listening to our clients, we can develop the solution that is right for them.
Language, Culture & the Internet
International communication strategies hinge on much more than just the translating of text from one language to another - localization is key. Simply providing a multilingual site will have minimal effect without an understanding of the culture and the attitudes of the target audience. True success comes from a solid sense of the tone, mood and presentation required to make a strong, meaningful impact.
