Dynamic Database-Driven Web Sites
One of the best ways to keep people visiting your website is to have fresh content available on the site at regular intervals or at some degree of consistency. Perhaps you want a site that you, your company, or organization can update with new content without having to know anything about web design, coding or programming.
A website that offers a richer interactivity is going to be easier for people to use ( a term for this is usability - where one would strive for greater/higher usability) and this allows for greater productivity. Add to that the impact of getting your users to interact with your site and you are getting them more involved.
By filling in information into a form on the website, you can add content to this type of website. Users do not need to have any special web design skills at all to use a site like this.
In a database-driven application, content is separated from presentation. A website is constructed out of information that is stored in a database. In addition, the content that is displayed on a page can be personalized. For example, with a user login form, a user logs into the site and is presented with the content that specifically is available for that user. Different users can be shown different content, sometimes this is based on what a user has permissions to see and do on a site or in a web application.
We can customize a site like this and you can add content and manage the site yourself without having to learn any special skills in XHTML, cascading style sheets (CSS), javascipt, or a server language like PHP. It might seem that a large system like this would be hard to learn how to use it. Not when we set it up for you. We will train you on any installation. We will make it very simple for you to intuitively use whatever system we setup.
A few examples of Dynamic Database-Driven websites are described below, along with links to example sites that display or utilize these applications on the web.
