Website Programming, Coding and Development

Our website development and programming focus on coding websites, website applications, and customizing and integrating existing applications. We work mostly with HTML, PHP, ASP.NET, CSS, MySQL, MSSQL, JavaScript, Web Application Integration, and Dynamic Content, Forms. Our sites are built with clean efficient code, structured with CSS, no table based layouts, SEO best practices, and cross browser friendly.

All websites we build use up to date coding methods. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are used for styles and structural layout. CSS is easier to maintain and more efficient code. Additionally sites built using CSS for its structure work better on mobile device browsers (cell phones), and the search engines can index the site better as it’s not cluttered up with cumbersome table code.

There’s very little that can’t be done with ASP.NET and MSSQL. It is our preferred platform for building websites and website applications. Even a basic website should be coded using a dynamic programming language such as PHP or ASP. These languages are incredibly more flexible than a static language like HTML. A dynamic server side language like PHP or ASP allows a webpage to use a database for dynamic content, allows coding that can control what is displayed, use global include files for common page elements.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Is your website achieving the results you want in search engines? We’ll explain how these search engines work, and advise you on steps you can take to increase your web presence and search engine ranking. We’ll go through each page of your site and focus on specific targeted keywords and keyphrases and optimize the code and content in efforts to increase your rank.

Our SEO services begin with identifying your target audience for each specific page, product or service you offer and constructing a list of the best targeted keywords and phrases that you audience will search for. With this information we will perform an audit on where you currently rank for different searches to pinpoint strengths & weaknesses. We will then go through your site page by page and implement ethical SEO methods to optimize the code and content on each page for search engine indexing & readability.

Once the site itself is optimized for search engines we will manually check & submit your site to the important directories and business listings as well as identify industry specific sites and directories that may be worth advertising with.

External link building is an important part of achieving success in the search engines. We do not recommend or use unethical methods or link farms to get links to your site. Those will eventually hurt you or become irrelevant. Instead we identify online marketing strategies to implement into your business processes that will generate large numbers of high quality incoming links to your site and also increase your companies image. You may already be doing many of these tasks as part of your business and if so we’ll show you how you can turn that into increased website traffic.

SEO is very important and should be considered as an operating cost of a website. A serious online marketing strategy will require a significant budget and time, but should pay for itself and then some with the added business you will generate. There is plenty that can be done on a small budget to help so it doesn’t have to require a big business budget to work for you.

We use White Hat SEO methods to increase website traffic and improve your search engine rankings.

Custom Web-Based Database Applications and Database Driven Dynamic Web Pages

The use of a backend database, MySQL, MSSQL, or MS Access, can be a very useful tool. Many websites use a database to store data and to populate the content on a page dynamically from the database. Fairly complex applications can be developed using a relational database to run queries, generate reports, manage customer or retailer data, and just about anything you can imagine.

A database is simply a way to store and organize data. It can be as simple as collecting and storing an email address for a mailing list or a complex customer management system using multiple tables and relational data.

Building a database application to perform a function often reduces the manual labor in performing that task in the future. It can automate many processes that may be time consuming and unreliable to do manually. It requires additional development costs initially, but should provide a fast R.O.I. with time savings. In many cases it’s really the only solution available for the desired functionality.

The possibilities are really endless with what can be done. Here are a few examples on how a database can be helpful in a website.

1. Restrict Access: If your website needs a restricted area protected by a password and individual user accounts then you need a database to handle this.

2. Mailing List: A mailing list signup form is placed on your website. When that is submitted the email address is stored as a record in a table within the backend database. Now you have a list building automatically. No need to manually enter all of these into a spreadsheet. We can build an administration page so you can view and edit the list.

Tools We Use

To accommodate different customer web deployment environments we use various tools and applications to perform our work on your project and may include Adobe Dreamweaver CS6, Adobe PhotoShop, eclipse EE, eGit, Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, mySQL, Native Control Panels, NetBeans IDE, and WordPress.
