Purpose

Main Street Central's goal is to provide a platform for all LOCAL organizations and businesses to promote themselves to their community. We offer you a valuable service whether you have never used the Internet before or you're already conducting business over the Internet.

Most small organizations and businesses don't have the resources to build and brand a web site that becomes a household word. Search engines, if you are lucky enough to place prominently on them, provide some help, but it's expensive and labor intensive to maintain those rankings. Main Street Central gives the business on the corner or run out of someone's home an opportunity to be found by your neighbors -- the people most likely to do business with you.

Who Benefits?
Apprentice:

Has only a vague idea of why anyone uses the Internet. Feels there might be something to it, but doesn't have the time, money, or knowledge to use it in their business.
For those who are not sure of the value of a presence on the Internet, the free services provide you a way to 'test the waters' without any expense.

Journeyman:

Has a web page, possibly hosted on a free site. Might have an e-mail address as part of a monthly Internet connection service.
The premium services allow you to promote your organization or business in ways that you could not afford to do without a full-blown commerce-enabled web site.

Master:

Part of a large organization that has its own web site or has created or paid someone else to create a web site with its own domain name.
If you or your parent company already have your own web site, Main Street Central still offers valuable promotional tools. Of course you can link from here to your web site. But you can also use the promotional tools to bring customers to you. The web sites run by corporate headquarters are great for promoting the brand, but you're lucky to find more than the basic address and phone information for local stores and offices. Main Street Central allows YOU to talk to YOUR CUSTOMERS.

Site Technical Requirements
Browser This site requires that visitors use a browser that supports JavaScript 1.1 or later. It has been tested with and supports versions of Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and later.
JavaScript JavaScript is a built-in feature of most recent browser versions. In order to use most of the interactive features of this site, you must have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Java Java is a significantly different technology from JavaScript and requires the visitor to accept applets (actual programs) onto their computer. Many business visitors and some Internet Service Providers may prevent the use of Java and therefore no Java technology is used on this site.
Cookies At this time, this site does not use cookie technology. We believe that, while it would enable a better personalized experience for most visitors, the negative press related to the use of cookies would make many visitors overly concerned about using this site. The end result of our decision is that members must manually sign on to the site.
Security The use of JavaScript is strictly limited by the browser manufacturers to prevent JavaScript code from being used to manipulate any portion of the visitor's computer. The site does not use other technology, notably, Java and ActiveX, that potentially expose the visitor to security concerns.
