Database Powered Websites
Using a database to power your site is good for several reasons:
- A record of visitors, products, orders or other information
- Dynamic content and links lower maintenance costs and fewer broken links
- Use information you already have and incorporate it into your site easily
- Provide useful information to your customers so they will return
- Allows your web site to grow with you, economically
- Easier and cheaper site maintenance you can often do yourself
- Have all your information in one place rather than spread over the entire site
E-commerce sites often use a database to track orders, but even a not-so-dynamic site can benefit from a database as it's powerhouse. Remember your visitors and track their likes and dislikes, comments and orders. Do market research. Move data from one page to another. Provide searchable information to your customers...
We work with ASP, PHP, XHTML, XML, DHTML, AJAX, CGI, JAVASCRIPT programming.
The web by it's nature is "stateless" which means information collected on one page is automatically lost when the visitor moves to the next page. There are ways to maintain "state" - including cookies, session variables, and databases. Using any of these methods means that once a visitor visits one page, he isn't automatically forgotten by the next one. Using cookies, sessions and databases allows you to remember your visitors and their needs and desires. But of course, you have to ask them what those desires are! Once you do, you need somewhere to put this information - voila! The database!
We can incorporate databases you may already have in Access, Excel, and others into your web site easily and quickly. I can also create databases to collect information typed into your site by visitors or collected by cookies. As the web evolves, in time, most business web sites will be using databases as their behind the scenes powerhouses of information storage and retrieval. The most powerful sites on the web - Microsoft, Dell, Yahoo - use databases right now to collect and store information. Why not get a jump start and design your site that way too?
