for public companies

MediaWave is one of Canada's only fully-integrated website development firms that specializes in the provision of services to small public companies. Building on the knowledge and expertise of our employees and board of directors, who have extensive experience in the public markets as investor relations consultants, independent analysts, and publishers of investment publications, we have created a unique package of services to assist our public company clients in creating and maintaining user-friendly corporate communications websites.

Website Design

An effective website design incorporates the logos and marketing image portrayed in the company's off-line corporate communications and marketing literature, thereby creating a common link to other public communications initiatives. Furthermore, it must offer the user an inviting, yet simple to use navigation scheme and offer compelling, easy to find content. This content must also meet the increasingly comprehensive disclosure requirements of regulatory bodies.

All public company websites should include the following information to meet the needs of an increasingly sophisticated investor and regulatory requirements:

• corporate profile including detailed description of the company's business model, corporate strategy, and history, as well as detailed information on its products, services, and operating divisions (including development / exploration properties, if applicable), etc.
• all press releases for up to the past 24 months, or longer if desired
• all recent quarterly and annual audited financial statements in Adobe .PDF and/or MS-Word or other desired format such as HTML
• the company's annual information form, information circular, prospectus, or other filing documents if applicable
• excerpts from recent analyst research reports and press coverage
• an information request form so investors can request detailed investor information packages or add their name to future news dissemination lists (see IRBuilder™ Corporate Communications Suite)
• all pertinent company and investor relations contact information
• key employees, management and directors biographies (pictures are also a nice touch)
• link to a 15-minute delayed stock quote and 52-week stock chart

Additional options, including e-commerce capabilities, electronic customer newsletters, article and information archives or libraries, case studies / customer testimonials, picture galleries, online annual reports, investor presentations or slide shows, audio update messages, upcoming events calendars, frequently asked questions, and virtual facility tours, can be added as desired.

MediaWave is pleased to offer programming of both static and dynamic database-driven applications. Dynamic functions are programmed in PHP and generally integrated with MySQL databases, making them fast, cost-effective, and scalable. MediaWave has an extensive offering of pre-programmed modules that can be customized to suit your needs, thereby reducing initial set-up time and costs.

Content Maintenance / Updating

In today's investment landscape, investors crave information and will simply seek out other opportunities if they are not fed a steady stream of news and fresh content. The Internet has become the preferred research / information resource used by these investors given its timeliness and the fact that the information is available on an around-the-clock basis. In the minds of investors and customers, how well you update your website reflects directly on the way your company does business and how much it respects its shareholders and clients. Once an effective site has been developed, it is imperative that it be kept up-to-date. MediaWave is pleased to provide convenient maintenance packages designed to ensure that your website is updated frequently and immediately after news announcements, etc. This service is available for an affordable monthly fee thereby allowing you to better budget for ongoing website updates. The following information updates are typically included in our standard public company updating package:

• posting of up to 10 news releases, press articles, analyst reports, audio messages, or quarterly / annual financial reports in html and/or PDF format (per month)
• maintenance of the "What's New" section on your home page, upcoming events calendar, etc.
• text changes to your corporate profile, product descriptions, etc. (addition of new product, service, or property, for example)
