I've resisted putting up a website for the corporation for a long time. It hardly ever seemed worth the effort to do so when most of the work being done was contract/consulting work. There's no reason to have product documentation, FAQ's, news updates when you spend most of your time doing work for other companies.
Something has changed though. We are now entering the world of product development and it seems like a good idea to have a place where people can find the latest information on our products.
