Development Tailored to Your Objective
Evolving website development technologies and universal acceptance of Web Standards allows designers and developers to create greater ease of use as well as dynamic interaction between the visitor and the site itself. This provides for simplified site navigation, more easily readable page layouts along with a wide range of customer interaction features that include product purchases. With these technologies website projects can now encompass a much wider array of objectives than was practical only a short time ago.
Client Side Coding
These are scripts that run on the visitors browser which is the client. JavaScript, the most recognized allows complex menus that respond to the visitors actions such as mouse movement and cursor position. This allows large sites to provide navigational aids such as drop down menus and is excellent for form validation. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) give greater layout control allowing the designer output a different layout for a different devise, be that a monitor or a printer. Again, restraint is key here as client side coding may produce different results for different clients. Work-arounds may be necessary for older browsers.
Server Side Coding
These are scripts that run on the server and don't require interpretation by the visitors browser. This allows the type of programming found on a local machine or network, most notable of which is database connectivity. A truly personalized experience can be provided to the visitor with storage of their preferences, account information, dynamic content specifically geared to the visitor and the like. A more specific description of these features can be found on our Solutions page.
PHP and MySQL, because they are open source products, provide excellent solutions for the development of dynamic Websites at a fraction of the cost of proprietary products from such vendors as Microsoft, Oracle and IBM. The PHP scripting language is native to the Apache Server, the most widely deployed server on the Internet. It have a wide range of functions designed specifically for interaction with the MySQL database management system. This combination also offers speed unequaled by the competition, a paramount consideration where bandwidth is so precious.
