Development
Static brochure style web sites are only a small part of what the web can offer your business. There are many options we can provide to better engage with your visitors, enhance their experience and increase loyalty and return visits.
Our dynamic sites make the most of three components - the PHP programming language, MySQL databases and the Apache web server. These combine to make a powerful foundation for your web site. All are open source which means that they can be used without the expensive development environments and associated overheads - giving you a much more cost-effective service. The are also slimline and efficient and, unlike other environments, allow full control over the code - perfectly complementing our lightweight, standards compliant XHTML design.
Sample dynamic elements include:
