Why a database?

If you have a lot of information to track or publish, consider a custom-crafted database, or database-driven website.

Standalone database

Not every application is meant to server the Web. We also develop standalone applications that are intended to serve internal company operations, such as payroll, inventory, AP & AR.

When a company employs a generic database to satisfy their unique data collection requirements, it can be like trying to pound a square peg into a round hole. A custom-crafted database instead tailors unique business processes to existing data collection methods.

Database-driven website

A database-driven website (a.k.a. dynamic website or database application) offers a number of advantages over a static HTML-only website.

Who uses a database-driven website?

An E-commerce site could not exist without a database. All of the information, from the product's picture, to its stock-on-hand, to its price, are all stored inside a database. Other types of websites that use a database:

A website that has an event calendar

A website that displays a directory of information

A discussion forum website

A weblog

 

Advantages of database-driven websites

In three words, management, maintenance and versatility.

Properly designed, almost any part of a website can be changed or customized via changes made to a database. Almost every part of the website can be made 'dynamic'. This makes a database-driven website infinitely more versatile compared to a static website.

One of the most important parts of owning a website is maintaining it; making sure that its content changes frequently, that its framework always validates, that it reflects your company's current activities. Maintenance of database-driven website is logistically easier vs. a static website. Most changes occur at the database level -- within the single, clean, interface to the database -- and not within the hundreds, possibly thousands of lines of HTML/CSS/PHP/etc. code that comprise the framework of the website.

A database can be programmed to feed a website variable types of information and at random times. Such programmability opens up many avenues to personalize a website visitor's experience based on how they navigate the site.

There are many other advantages to database-driven websites. Call today to find out how your business can benefit from a database.
