Website Design
 
If you are reading this section, you are one of two types: A person looking for rates and skill level, or someone looking to understand what a database can do for their web site. This section will cater to the latter. However in answer to the former, our skill in this area is documented through this site and others which can be found in our portfolio. Many of our customers benefit from our database programming along with web based administrative controls which enables them to work with their data via a web browser. The creed is always to empower the customer. Our goal is to keep you working on your business, not your web site.
 
 
How can I benefit from a Database?
In short, automation! Databases enable you, your website and your employees, and customers to do more. You save time, your employees save time, and your customers save time. You manage! You edit! The part of your site that is driven by your database pulls that information into a structured template page of your website:
  •  your web pages are updated automatically whenever your database is updated
  •  searchable information a.k.a. keyword search
  •  generates consistent web pages on the fly
  •  you can apply one (1) or more changes centrally with global effect
  •  you can better manage large amounts of data, (content managment)
  •  web based administrative control panel to work with raw data in easy to understand graphical format
  •  it can be remotely administered
  •  it is easily administered due to standardization i.e. add, edit and delete.
  •  graphics libraries
 
Applications
A web site that makes use of a database most likely serves your customer best in a range of applications:
  •  inventory
  •  orders & sales data
  •  news stories
  •  articles
  •  trouble-tickets
  •  catalogs
  •  human resources
  •  billing: customer contact information
  •  graphics libraries
  •  booking & reservation systems
  •  bulk e-mail delivery
  •  web content managament (control panels)
The bottom line, what does it cost?
The time effort, and raw manpower it takes to build a database driven application for your web site obviously costs more than to build static html web pages. However the advantage to you long term is savings in maintenance. You will be relieved of learning html, ftp and other time intensive endeavors.
 
So how much does it cost exactly? It is impossible to quote in the abstract. We need to learn your business, and help craft a solution. Quoting numbers based on no information about your specific needs would be a mistake and demonstrate we don't really care about your business. It is safe to say the cost to add database driven applications with an admin control panel will increase your cost by a solid third on the project.
