Attavik - Website Development Services

Attavik, a division of the Pirurvik Centre, was established to provide Internet and Web Site development services. Attavik began in 2004 as a partnership with Web Networks; a non-profit Internet services provider working with socially committed organizations since 1986.

Our core mandate is to develop and support solutions for Inuktitut computing and specifically Inuktitut on the Web. Attavik takes its name from "Inuktitut Qarasaujalirinirmut Attavik" or "setting a foundation for Inuktitut computing".

Attavik provides a full range of Website services including:

* Website Design and Development
* Content Management & Translation Workflow
* Website Hosting and Domain Registration
* E-Commerce
* Consulting

Features and Services

Attavik.net is a complete solution: it provides website hosting and domain registration, website content management, a website search engine, website private areas, online collaboration services, server glyph handling, complete website statistics, customizable website usage reporting, FTP access, as well as optional secure e‐commerce and online registration form modules. It is built on open standards: FreeBSD‐Apache‐MySQL‐PHP. Attavik.net's usefulness is apparent not only to those who use the services, but to those who have benefited from our pioneering work in the area of Inuktitut computing.

Attavik - A Background

Through his long work experience with Inuktitut computing, Gavin Nesbitt, now a partner with the Pirurvik Centre, became acutely aware of the challenges of providing a useful computing platform to meet the needs of citizens, government, and non-profit organizations in Nunavut. Attavik.net was born when Web Networks partnered with the Pirurvik Centre to build a system supporting multilingual communities on the web, designed with Inuktitut and Nunavut’s needs uppermost in mind.
