Each website developed is a custom design based on the client's requirements and goals. Before designing a website, it is helpful to consider the following items:
- Objectives for the website: (i.e. sell product(s), serve as a source of information, collect user information, automate business processes, etc. )
- Design Features for website: (i.e. layouts, colors, navigation, fonts)
- Graphics: (What graphics and images are available to client to use on website and which graphics will need to be created for the website)
Database Driven Websites and Web Applications
Databases can be very powerful tools for information management. They allow web pages to be customized in real-time based on individual user interaction. They also allow for large amounts of data to be collected from website users. Information collected and stored in a database can be analyzed with powerful database tools and can help to automate many otherwise timely business processes.
In addition to external websites, sub domains can be used to create private, internal web applications. These allow small businesses who may not have a local intranet take advantage of the internet to share data in real-time between employees.
Ecommerce Design and Development
A range of Ecommerce solutions are available that utilize either an off the shelf shopping cart or a more flexible and custom solution. All Ecommerce solutions allow for payment through credit cards. Data collected through purchase is stored in a database and available for client access through a private sub domain.
