Web Networks has adapted software from the [http://www.apc.org Association for Progressive Communications] so that the Inuit can publish online. It worked with the Piruvik Centre of Iqaluit to develop an application suite called "attavik.net". This software solutions, says the organisation, makes it easy to manage documents, directories, calendars, registration and online payment — all in the Inuit language. It allows users to surf the web in Inuktitut on any computer, without needing extra software settings.

Technology behind "attavik.net" can be used for websites in other syllabic languages, such as Cree, Oji-Cree, Naskapi, and Korean.
