How would you like to have an advertisement for your DZ that is interactive and fun to view? How would you like to add colored pictures of your drop zone, landing and packing areas, or even add pictures of the type of planes you fly? How about adding a short movie of an actual freefall from your DZ? This advertisement would be world wide so that new and experienced skydivers world wide would learn about your location. You could then put additional information such as boogies, a map showing directions to your DZ, hours, skydiving specials and new and used gear from you skydiving store. You could update or change any of the information within a days notice! Unfortunately, it was neither possible nor feasible to put this kind of information in an advertisement, but through the World Wide Web, Web Creations, Inc. can do all of this for you for as little as $25 per month.

Skydive WWW is a fun, fast and easy to use graphical approach to organizing the skydiving community on the Internet. Skydive WWW includes many aspects important to skydivers. It has links to skydiving news, stories, incidents, boogies, accurate and updated weather, Internet News Groups, shops, stolen gear and much more. But most important, it has links to most drop zones in the country and many throughout the world! It allows you to select a location in the US closest to you and then narrow the selection down until you get a list of all the drop zones in each state. You can then select the drop zone closest to you and up comes all of the information concerning each individual drop zone: directions (detailed maps), hours, prices, specials, boogies, news, weather, pictures and videos of anything the individual drop zone chooses to include.
