We are not graphic artists, but Xara X has proven itself to be the easiest drawing & illustration software we have ever used, and for a fraction of the cost of the longstanding, high-profile competitors. Forget user manuals. The video tutorials are groundbreaking in their graphic simplicity to dramatically reduce the amateur's learning curve.

PDF formatting with Adobe Acrobat is a standard for online publishing, download access and  safe document transfer over the Internet. The program is easy to use.


The simple drop-n-drag format of Nero makes burning CD's as simple as copying to a zip disk. We have used Nero since 1999.

Internet Radio Commercials: We were introduced to the Commercial Clinic when working with the Moms Town Internet Radio Show (aka Mary Goulet). They produced a 60-second commercial for Windhaus Associates (you need RealPlayer, Windows Media Player or MusicMatch Jukebox to hear the audio).

Free & Premium Online Press Release Services: All offer free and premium services. We find all of them to be satisfactory to excellent. Our experience has shown the use of online press release services dramatically and quickly increase a website's number of listings and website rankings.

                                                   

Website Audio: The Voiceover Team of James Alburger and Penny Abshire produces audio tracks that become very effective tools leading into any page on your website. They produced the audio clip you hear when entering this page.

Premium services allow you a fax number in your local area code. CallWave also offers voice mail.                                                                                                                          

Faxing Software: With these products you don't rely on a remote service firm to capture and retrieve faxes for transmittal. All fax functions are controlled from your computer

                                                                                                      

Streaming Media Players: These are the 'Big-Three'.

Free Internet Radio: We still haven't found anything online that equals live365 for great, relaxing background music when working on the computer.
