Sometimes, your business needs a different approach than the normal way of doing things.

The skating industry is one of those markets where a different approach is needed. At Times Two Technology, we saw a need that was going unfulfilled within the skating industry - a need for a reasonably priced, but feature rich web presence that met the needs of today's smaller and medium sized rink owners.

Many larger rinks may have gone with higher priced systems that includes a POS (point of sale) system, marketing, and a website that ties in to everything else in that system. For smaller rinks, these higher priced systems are usually not an option they can afford. Some of the simple functions these larger systems included were not available in cheaper or "home-built" systems that they can afford. 

Times Two Technology has taken information we gathered from numerous rink owners and have developed a package that we feel meets the web needs for these small to medium sized rinks.
