At Somfaw Data Services we provide our customers with a World-Wide Web presence. In the most basic form, this could be a basic Web page that contains company information and a phone number to call for further information. A more elaborate page can contain an electronic catalog of your products and services or a feedback form to survey your customers' wants and needs.

Our Basic package includes creating your Web pages and graphics and adding pointers to your pages in the appropriate Web directories around the world.
