At the top end of Paul's products is the corporate Web site of DST. It's not just a Web site, though. It's an Internet, Intranet and content management system rolled into one. Depending on your access privileges you can see public information, corporate directories, a help desk and HR info, and fully manage the content in one single Web interface.
It is very user-friendly, informative, highlighting DST core values and expertise. Great marketing tool. Kudos to all!

Mark needed to update his marketing to match the beautiful homes he builds. Paul started with a smart corporate identity and then developed a handsome website that shows current property listings. The site uses XML files as the data source and is so easy to maintain.
I'm getting so excited about the website!... I love it! Yey!! Success!!
