Web Databases

If you want a database in a web site that we are building for you

A good web database is like an iceberg: you only see a tiny part of it but underneath is something massive that keeps the whole thing afloat.

If you just want your database to tell the world you exist you probably don't want a database, but if you want to do business on the internet, or if you want to use the net for inter-office cooperation, then you probably do need a database.

If you can think of something useful you could do by letting people search your data, then there's a useful web site idea almost formed in your head already. We can turn your ideas into reality. Whether your business is retail or recruitment, we can make it work for you.

The typical application of a web database is to store a list of products and their descriptions to drive an eCommerce site. Web databases can do a great deal more than that if you let them.

Just to whet your appetite, here are a few database ideas.

In summary:

• Store your data
• Process data
• Enter new data online or in the office
• Password controlled access
• Data reported in tables, maps, or any suitable format.
• Perform queries using forms
• Perform searches using guided methods
• Automatically email reports and alerts
• Accept new data by email

If you want a database added to a web site that you already own

If you already have a web site that you want to add involving new functionality to, we can do it. It doesn't matter whether it was created by a different web design company, or by us. We understand that it doesn't always make sense to develop your whole site all at once.

Email us with your requirements for a quotation, or use the phone. It won't cost you a cent to ask.

Do you already have the database in your office?

If you have an in-office database and you want to use it (or part of it) within your web site, we can work out the best way to do it. We can set it up so that data from your office database is replicated into the web database. Alternatively, we can move your database onto the web, or maybe even build your own web server to contain the web database while keeping it locally accessible.

There are plenty of options. Email us with your requirements, or use the phone. We will need to understand the details of your setup and what it is you are trying to achieve.
