Business Website Features
Technology
Technology is always changing and we embrace the challenge of keeping pace with it. To meet the goal of delivering premium websites, we continually research and test new techniques in design and programming.
We have to balance users to technology in all site design. There are often great breakthroughs in functionality, but it is completely worthless, if the site visitors don’t have the means to access it. We monitor statistics on users and their computers to make sure websites are practical for your target market. We also make sure premium functionality degrades properly on computers with limited resources, so websites perform for everyone.
Your website can do amazing things, don’t limit your ideas. Whatever you’re looking for, we’ll find a way to do it. We’re always up to the challenge.
Specialties
We specialize in programming with PHP, but we also incorporate other scripting languages when appropriate. Approximately 34% of all websites on the Internet incorporate PHP. PostgreSQL is our database of choice due to its advanced feature set and ease of use. We also incorporate MySQL databases.
We do not operate any Microsoft web servers, nor do we program in ASP. Our goal is optimum security and reliability for all of the websites we host. For that reason we use FreeBSD and Apache on our servers. Apache is a very stable program used by more than 67% of servers on the Internet.
Solutions
A website can be anything you need it to be. It is merely an interface for communication. What you have to say and who you say it to will determine the functionality and design parameters of your website.
We’ve designed online retail stores, marketing brochures, community centers and information kiosks for our clients to communicate with their target users. We’ve also built custom web applications for clients that are used exclusively in-house by their employees.
Hosted Applications and SaaS (Software as a Service) are very popular solutions for businesses of any size. It simply means that your business application is on a web server and accessed through the Internet.
Traditionally, custom software was built and loaded on a server in-house and accessed over your office network. You had costs to maintain the server and when you left the office, you left your application behind. With hosted applications, you have full access from anywhere and you can allow vendors or other stakeholders access, too. You decide what content is available to different groups with powerful security features.
We have extensive business experience and provide consulting services as well as custom programming, site engineering, application engineering and database design. If you have a problem, we have a solution.
