I. SPECIAL DETAILS
A. The Compound Directory System
Web Sector Directories serve many functions from simple categorization of businesses to identification of business relationships and the collection of cross industry information. Each directory is identified, defined and published to the it respective business communities. Each directory has a life of its own and demands specific information care by its membership.
Directory Memberships can be developed outside of Web Sector or by our in-house indexing staff. Each directory is sponsored a special interest group, organization or indexing objective. Members elect to join most directories. Some House sponsored generic directories are mandatory for profile activation.
Each directory elected by a Web Sector client offers index keys and opens relationship channels that bring clients and special business sectors together for short or long periods of time. Such directories also provide addition insight into the over WWWBS data base and give Sector Search engine users new and varied search criteria.

j. =========== Three Visitor Scenario’s
(1) The Person Who Is Hurried & Knows What She Or He Wants
For this scenario we have prepared a special page design that gets the visitors in, serviced, out and happy. We have surveyed the people who work the web on a daily basis. They are most often the serious client, potential client or the personal interface to someone who is. They need speed, familiar ways to do things, coherent results and the option to browse around if they have time.
(2) The Person With Time To Kill
For this scenario we have the color, graphics and content of your regular web site pages and the option to move to your regular home page at the push of a “see the whole site” button.
(3) The Person In Between
Simple and obvious navigation is implicit
