Programming

Providing advanced features on web sites uses programming techniques. Everything from simple contact forms to large database software integrating to several other pieces of software uses programming.

For most non-technical it doesn't matter how a programmer works, what matters is the interesting features that can be added to a web site with programming. The list is endless but here are a few features you may have heard of:

  • Content management
  • Data capture
  • Automated emails
  • Database integration
  • Address finders
  • "Find my nearest..."
  • Customer management
  • Product lists
  • E-commerce
  • Blogs, forums, message boards
  • Contact forms
  • Surveys
  • Intranets
  • Automatic PDF generation

Programming comes into its own when used to reduce your workload by automating tasks and by making your web site more useful for your customers.

For technical users Access Web Development have experience with the following programming technologies:

  • HTML, XHTML, CSS, XML
  • ASP, .NET
  • Perl
  • PHP
  • JavaScript, Ajax
  • SQL (MySQL, SQL Server or MS Access)
  • VbScript for Excel, Access and Outlook

Programming - a means to an end

The focus of any programming exercise is to either save time for your business or to improve your customer service. Once a problem or feature has been identified Access Web Development will work with you to decide the best approach to complete the task.

Sometimes other technology may already be involved or it might be possible to start from fresh. In either case Access Web Development has experience with a wide range of programming technology across the major software platforms.

Leaving Access Web Development to worry about the technology involved will allow you to focus on the benefits to your business.

Programming Databases

Frequently an advanced web site feature will need to use a database. Databases are just somewhere to store information. There are many types of database from simple text files to enterprise level software like Oracle.

Just like Access Web Development's approach to programming you needn't worry about the technology involved - a database will be chosen to suit your circumstances.

Sometimes your business will have databases already, even if it is just an Excel spreadsheet. Linking databases together is an important part of the programming process so you don't have to keep re-typing information.

Access Web Development will spend time with you to understand how you are using your data now and how you want to use it in the future. To maximise the benefit to your business any solutions suggested will work right across your company.
