Web Design & Development
Why Have a Web Site?
A web site is not just a marketing tool - it's a business tool as well. Even the smallest businesses can utilize the power of the Internet to be more efficient and to build revenue. In today's world, having a web site is as important and necessary as having a phone or a listing in the Yellow Pages. In fact, often not having a site often comes across as "unprofessional" in the eyes of many potential customers.

Mobile Device Web Sites
More and more people are now using PDAs or mobile phones to view web sites or information online. There are three aspects of mobile web site usability - the web site, the physical device, and the browser. All three together contribute to the user experience. The web site is the easiest aspect that we can control and make sure is usable on mobile devices. Many web sites today are designed with desktop size displays in mind, and make use of the facilities provided by desktops(mouse/keyboard) and desktop browsing software. In order for a web site to be usable and viewable on a mobile device, the web site must be designed for multiple display types and address the different information seeking methods of a mobile device user.
Database Driven / Dynamic Web Sites
Database driven web sites make your site dynamic. Your site is constantly changing and is updated immediately when new data is entered. This is an excellent way to manage your web site or manage a large amount of information like directories. Database driven web sites can allow non-web experts to edit their own web pages threw the use of web based forms. You will never have to touch the HTML or actual web page.
Database driven web sites are great if you are trying to collect information from people, display directories like phone lists or member rosters, distribute surveys, restrict access to your employees or members, allow users to search your site, and much more. These companies then go onto an administrative site to make changes to any of their pages. They never have to touch a HTML Editor or any code. They simply type in their text changes and it immediately appears on their web site. Simple and easy maintenance.
