CUSTOM WEB DEVELOPMENT |

Like any other worthwhile venture, creating a successful
web site needs proper organization and planning. Determining the potentials for
look, feel and content for your site could be intimidating if tackled alone. Creating
and securing your own domain name, acquiring a web hosting service, setting up your
e-mail accounts, developing your site content and navigation are all areas in which
I can help. |

TYPES OF WEB SITES |
|
|
|
Out Bound - Read Only |
|
This type of site consists of web pages describing your business, intended
to give information to your visitors. This type of site is tantamount to publishing
a newsletter, magazine or catalogue. |
|
|
|
Data-Driven |
|
These web sites furnish content for the consumption
of your visitors using a data base as the source. This provides a dynamic experience
for your audience since the pages always display the current contents of your data
base. If your information changes frequently then this is an option you should explore. |
|
|
|
Central Repository / Distributed Control |
This form of data driven site is designed such
that the data base that drives your site resides on the web server that hosts the
site. You or key team members have password protected access to panels which allow
for management of your data. These data management panels reside in a private
section of your site which is not visible to the public.
This structure allows you to modify your site and deliver the most current
information on whatever schedule suits your particular needs, using any computer
which has an internet connection. Properly configured, this frees you from requiring
the services of a webmaster every time you wish to change your website content. |

Public Content Gathering |
Your operation may benefit from acquiring information
from your internet audience. This information may be used for business purposes
such as gathering leads or gathering purchase orders from clients online.
In the case of public organizations, it may be advantageous to transfer
information gathered in this manner into public pages on your site. Once submissions
are vetted by your data management team and cleared for posting, the information
can be published simply by setting a switch on the individual record in the supporting
data base. A case in point is the Renfrew150 Sesqicentennial Celebrations
web site which gathers suggestions and submissions from the general public for their
Do You Remember List. Public submissions are vetted by the committee
to avoid duplication and then passed to the public pages for all to view. In this
way the public can contribute content to the web site to be easily shared with all
other visitors making the site a dynamic and constantly growing entity that serves
the needs of all who have an interest in the celebration events and activities.
