Database Design
Many sites such as CMS and ecommerce are already database driven web sites.
That means that certain parts and functions of the site are contained within
a database which supplies this information as needed to your viewer's web
browser based on the nature of their navigation. These are "dynamic"
sites and most pages really do not exist except for the particular viewer
as requested.
Additional database use can enhance an otherwise static site by providing
user interaction. You may have a membership organization and wish to include
a searchable database of your members and their business information and
company logo. This type of directory would be a common use of a database
application. Some of these are ready-made and only require installation and
configuration.
You my have something specific in mind you wish to accomplish online. We
have available, programmers who can work to define and implement an application
custom to your needs.
We typically program in PHP using MySQL database platforms. This is "geek
talk" so don't worry if you don't know what these terms mean. We can also
educate you when necessary though typically we just provide the software
and teach you how to use your interface so programming jargon is not
a concern.
Call us to discuss your database needs. We may be able to locate an off-the-shelf
solution to save you some hard earned cash.
