WE'VE DESIGNED THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF WEBSITES...

STATIC • FLASH • CMS • E-COMMERCE • SOCIAL NETWORKING • JOB SITE • CUSTOM

 STATIC

A Static Website is one that has web pages stored on the server in the same form as the user will view them. It is primarily coded in HTML (Hyper-text Markup Language).  Also known as a "Classic" website, a 6-page website or a "Brochure" website because it simply presents pre-defined information to the user. It may include information about a company and its products and services via text, photos, audio/video, and interactive menus and navigation.  This type of website usually displays the same information to all visitors, thus the information is static. Similar to handing out a printed brochure to customers or clients, a static website will generally provide consistent, standard information for an extended period of time. Although the website owner may make updates periodically, it is a manual process to edit the text, photos and other content and may require basic website design skills and software.  In summary, visitors are not able to control what information they receive via a static website, and must instead settle for whatever content the website owner has decided to offer at that time.

FLASH

Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash) is a proprietary, robust graphics animation or application development program used to create and deliver dynamic content, media (such as sound and video), and interactive applications over the web.  Many graphic artists use Flash because it gives them exact control over every part of the design, and anything can be animated and generally "jazzed up". Some application designers enjoy Flash because it lets them create applications that do not have to be refreshed or go to a new web page every time an action occurs. Flash can use embedded fonts instead of the standard fonts installed on most computers.   The most recent incarnation of Flash's scripting language (called "ActionScript", which is an ECMA language similar to JavaScript) incorporates long-awaited usability features, such as respecting the browser's font size and allowing blind users to use screen readers.  Actionscript 2.0 is an Object-Oriented language, allowing the use of CSS, XML, and the design of class-based web applications.

CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CMS)

A content management system (CMS) provides a user-friendly web accessible administration panel (w/login) to manage website content.  It is used to maintain and control a large, dynamic collection of web material (pictures, text, media, features, etc).  A CMS facilitates content creation, content control, editing, and many essential web maintenance functions such as mambots, modules,  and components that make up the front-end of the website.  Again, usually the CMS provides authoring (and other) tools designed to allow users with little or no knowledge of programming languages or markup languages to create and manage content with relative ease of use.  A CMS allows non-technical users to make changes to an existing website's content with little or no training.  A CMS typically requires an experienced coder to set up and add features, but is primarily a website maintenance tool for non-technical administrators.

E-COMMERCE

Electronic Commerce, commonly known as e-commerce or eCommerce, consists of the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks. The amount of trade conducted electronically has grown extraordinarily since the spread of the Internet. A wide variety of commerce is conducted in this way, spurring and drawing on innovations in electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, Internet marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems. Modern electronic commerce typically uses the World Wide Web at least at some point in the transaction's lifecycle, although it can encompass a wider range of technologies such as e-mail also.  A large percentage of electronic commerce is conducted entirely electronically for virtual items such as access to premium content on a website, but most electronic commerce involves the transportation of physical items in some way. Online retailers are sometimes known as "e-tailers" and online retail is sometimes known as "e-tail". Almost all big retailers have electronic commerce presence on the World Wide Web.  Contemporary electronic commerce involves everything from ordering "digital" content for immediate online consumption, to ordering conventional goods and services, to "meta" services to facilitate other types of electronic commerce. On the consumer level, electronic commerce is mostly conducted on the World Wide Web. An individual can go online to purchase anything from books, grocery to expensive items like real estate. Another example would be online banking like online bill payments, buying stocks, transferring funds from one account to another, and initiating wire payment to another country. All these activities can be done with a few keystrokes on the keyboard.  On the institutional level, big corporations and financial institutions use the internet to exchange financial data to facilitate domestic and international business.

SOCIAL NETWORKING

A social networking website focuses on building online communities of people who share interests and activities, or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. Most social networking sites (Myspace, Facebook, Linkedin, etc.) are web based and provide a variety of ways for users to interact, such as e-mail, friend invitations, group creation, events, video/music/document uploading, forums, and instant messaging.  Any number of features can be added depending on need.
