We specialize in developing the databases and the applications that are behind the scenes of content-driven Web sites. Databases can be information repositories, discussion forums, newsletters, survey information gatherers, interactive applications, etc.
Such sites are easily managed by those with or without Web skills. We design Web sites so the people who manage the content do not have to know how to create Web pages or manage Web servers. We provide simple interfaces that allow content managers to enter and to modify text, to incorporate graphics and to choose Web page layouts.
Because users have varied preferences for searching databases, we set up search wizards, keyword searches and category-based searches. Databases we develop are indexed by Google.com and by our own Google search appliance. This enables searches of our databases directly through Google's search interface.
Most of our clients also have us assist in the design of the front-end, the interface Web users see. To our way of thinking, users care most about content. Flashy features such as lots of graphics and superfluous animation only slow the efforts of users to get to content. Users often leave a Web site in frustration because of such features. Almost always, the content of these sites is not accessible at all to people who are blind.
Thus we prefer to design Web sites that are functional, accessible and have quick access to content, but are also aesthetically pleasing. A few examples of our work are:
We develop Web sites based upon the following technologies:
