Sad to say: There are a lot
of junky free software programs available for websites.
There are also some commonly used software packages a lot of
website designers use that can drag down a visitor's opinion
of a site (which can adversely affect their perception of
how you do business).
In a lot of cases - there is
no free or commercial software available to solve a specific
website need.
If that is your problem - I
can produce it in-house.
My current focus is using PHP/MySQL
for website programming. If you are unfamiliar with those
terms, substitute the phrase: "latest and
greatest."
As examples of the types of
custom programming written for various clients:
-
Fuel
Allocation and distribution website software, currently
in use by the states of Arizona, Connecticut, Colorado,
Rhode Island and others. (No links: these systems are
locked up on secure servers).
-
Online
meeting registrations for the Western Govenors'
Association. (No link by request of the WGA)
-
Online
psychological profile testing (Again, no links by
request).
-
Online
job placement services, including owner updates to
listings, visitor responses (with resume attachments),
and client requests for new listings. See: http://www.PhillipsPersonnel.com
(a link!)
-
Custom
website page updates. See: MeadowCreekBB.com's Rooms
listing page. All the pricing is owner updateable
and an example of a CDMCSS.com specialty: Hybrid
programming.
-
Owner
updates to an entire site (now available to all
CDMCSS.com clients) as seen on the GrasshopperCommunications.com
website.
-
File
distribution system (with online Administration) as used
on the HirschGraphics.com
website (now available to all CDMCSS.com clients)
And for examples of what
some of these look like (non-linked examples, especially),
see the Forms examples on the Portfolio
page of this site.
Enough said.
All custom programming is a
special order service that cannot be described in any
rational detail except to say that newly created custom
programmed systems start at $75 (a simple program).
Included with all custom
programming (even the $75 versions):
- Creation of
Word/WordPerfect compatible forms (optional, depending
on needs).
- Automated email to site
administrators, confirmations to visitors or both.
- Online Administrative
facilities. At a minimum this includes:
- Data maintenance
(Add/Change/Delete).
- Simple reporting of
all information on file
- Integrated Help
functions
- Page
Content Management System functionality
(standard; no additional charge).
- "Fall back"
plain-text data entry.
- Display component(s) -
shows information to visitors through web pages; varies,
depending on requirements. (Techie talk: No SSI's
required, but can be used, if available.)
- Functionality created to your
specifications.
