Custom
Web Design |
|
|
|
|
|
Question
- Why do I need it custom designed? |
|
|
|
Answer
- Your website is your on-line shopfront. You want
it to be recogniseable and to stand out from other sites.
Your website should incorporate all the features that your
business needs and be easy to navigate and understand. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For
example, say you run a mail order business. Wouldn't it be
useful to store a customer information database, so you have
the customers address and what they have bought in the past,
this way the customer can be sent advertisments that relate
to their buying history. You may also wish to be able to call
up the status of any order that has been placed via your website,
if for example a customer was to call up asking where their
purchase is, you can check their record in the system and
inform them that it is 'out of stock' for example. Almost
anything you can think of, we can create. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
It is always helpful
to relate to us the exact nature and procedures of your business
to enable us to design a website that fulfils all your needs,
and even needs you didnt know you had! |

Question
- What is E-Commerce? |
|
|
|
Answer
- E-Commerce is a fancy term for 'online shop'. This is simply
a website that enables potential customers to browse the shop's
on-line catalogue containing pictures and descriptions of
all the products. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many traditional businesses
are now leaning more and more heavily towards internet selling.
The benefits are many, including lower overheads, no checkout
staff, no need to re-print catalogues etc... At
1st 4 Webb Design we can create an E-Commerce
site that meets your exact needs, no matter how you like to
sell your products we can create a bespoke E-Commerce package
for you. This would normaly be integrated into a Database
that would store your product catalogue, which would normaly
be updated from a Content
Management System. |

|
Question -
What is a Content Management System? |
|
|
|
Answer -
A Content Management System allow you (the owner of the website)
the ability to change text and pictures and even the way the
website works from a secure back-end section of the website.
This is secured with a username and password to prevent unauthorised
people from gaining access. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whatever the depth
of control you require, we can provide it. It can range from
the ability to change a single sentance to having the entire
site completely configurable. The content management system
would also give you the ability to edit or add records to a
Database,
a very usful feature that can be added to any site that utilises
a database for storage of product information in a catalogue
(such as an E-Commerce
site) |

Database
Integration |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Question -
What is Database Integration? |
|
|
|
Answer -
Database Integration is the act of linking a website and a database,
to create a website that can access the database for information
and content, and can also be updated very quickly and easily
by its owner. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Databases are used
more than you may think on the Internet. Any E-Commerce site
will almost certainly include a product database, any discussion
forum will contain a database and so do many sites that show
you their 'latest news' and keep a history of it. Many websites
also keep a database of customers, so upon their return the
customer can log back in and view their account or personlise
the way the website looks/works. |

Bespoke
Programming |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Question -
What is Bespoke Programming? |
|
|
|
Answer -
Bespoke Programming means that the programming (the basic code
that tells the webisite how to function) as been written specifically
for your website and is built for your requirements. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many web designers
simply use generic code that may not be fully compatible with
your needs, at 1st 4 Webb Design we write the
code to match the situation. This ensures that the site responds
and opens in the shortest possible time. Many of the 'off the
shelf' systems contain so much code that it slows them down
and creates errors if customised. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All programming work
done by us is built to your specifications from the ground up.

What is Site Submission? |
|
|
|
