Oshi Profile

What Does Oshi Mean?

Oshi is a word with Japanese origin which means to push or impart influence. Commonly used in sumo wrestling in where an opponent is pushed backwards or down. The urban Dictionary defines Oshi in two ways. First definition is a compressed form of "oh Shit". They also define Oshi as a short name for getting slammed by a large amount of work due to lack of common sense displayed by co-workers. It sounds like this coming from our competitors; "oh shit, here comes Oshi Interactive to take all of our customers and push us backwards again".

What's With The Name?

We certainly like to impart our influence in the market place as our name implies, but the selection of Oshi as namesake was not as deeply thought of as depicted. When discussing names for our server network 15 years ago, we couldn't decide from a narrowed selection of five names. Then the idea of shortening the Toshiba name displayed on a laptop on the table was suggested. From that point forward the Oshi Networks brand was born.

Humble Beginnings

Services

Website Development

Oshi Interactive as a creative services firm was molded around our ability to implement the latest technologies available into website design and creation. The backbone of our organization, the website. Websites have existed in some form since 1972 when Ted Nelson from the Rand Corporation invented the Hypertext Market Language known as HTML. Since that time websites have gotten much more complex thanks for companies like ours.

We can work with your organization to determine the best approach for your online presence. We will work to review your competitors, objectives, and opportunities and formulate an effective strategy. A balance between form and function is ultimately the goal.

As you immerse yourself in obtaining the most advanced multimedia driven website available, let us be part of your quest. We would truly be excited and welcome any project assignment.

Website Hosting

A foreign concept to most small business owners, website hosting is nothing more than electronic real estate. A virtual location where your website lives. We built our organization around a set of company owns servers which acts as a back office or network.

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum.

We offer a full array of platforms available including but not limited to ASP, PHP, MySQL. We deploy all industry standard technologies and server variables. Oshi Interactive is proficient with platforms such as Microsoft Servers, Apple/Mac, and Unix Servers, Webmail Interfaces, and many custom applications we have written over time.

Graphic Arts

What is a good website with crummy support materials? We can work to develop new and exciting looking promotional material that supports your website branding. Oshi Interactive is a unique firm with very talented and artistic developers. Often times you will find site development companies whose talents favor one or the other. We offer a balance between form and function. We make you look great while offering functional sites.

It is these talents that we offer to our customers in the form of graphic arts. Not only do you get a graphic artist with each site, we offer the following creative services to the market.

What Search Engines Like

SEO or white hat coding is very important and you must prepare your website for search engine marketing from the beginning.

This is a paragraph with a lock icon. Vivamus eu felis lacus, in tincidunt.

Handicap accessibility plays a key role in database submission results. Sites like Google and Bing want all handicap persons treated equally. Your site must be readable to all persons online for your language.

Flash balance is also critical as many browsers and online robots are not capable of reading or understanding the flash codes and scripts.

These are just a few of the suggested design and coding principles that must be followed if you expect any kind of search engine or online marketing results. Never trust a long-distance phone call from someone selling good results. It isn't that simple and has to be planned and developed in the beginning with your website.

Rules For Success

Oshi Interactives' Success

Our success is based on years of perseverance. Achieving success for us has not always been easy. Our humble beginnings started when our principles left Mainlink in New Albany many years ago. Armed with a passion for artwork and desire make it. We educated ourselves in the art of HTML coding. As we honed our coding skills and improved our graphic art abilities it wasn't long before we realized that we are part of the Louisville advertising community.

Measuring success for us changes daily as we continue to reach for new things. Ultimately we strive to make our customers happy by sharing with them our creative abilities. I think that is truly what sets us apart from those who know us.
