If you are looking for a content management system (CMS) based website which you can maintain yourself, we are able to provide our very own in-house solution which has been built from the ground up to enable us to be as creative with design as possible whilst still allowing for user-friendliness when it comes to managing the site and content. We are also able to build sites to suit a number of 3rd party or open-source platforms working within their limitations.

Having a content managed website means that you will be able to edit most of the page content easily via your web browser and also include things such as article/blog posts and even media clips.

Typically a content managed website will cost a little more to set up initially, but save on ongoing costs when it comes to updating the website, so for sites where there is a need for frequent updates a CMS can prove a very cost-effective solution.

For more information about content management, please contact us.

The current trend for online services means that more and more sites are being developed with advanced features such as user registration and members only features. Also lots more people are looking to start purely internet based businesses, many of which require additional web programming and database integration (for example content management systems, online property searches, dating websites and community sites).

One of our main strengths above those of our competitors is the ability to develop almost all kinds of website in-house and often at much lower rates. This means that we can manage the whole project from domain name registration and hosting to development and ongoing maintenance.

ADDED INTERACTIVITY

Mark Design Web Site Design offer the very best in web based programming techniques to ensure your site functions correctly and efficiently.

DATABASE INTEGRATION

It is quite commonplace to find web sites that rely on a behind the scenes SQL database to handle content and user data.

Typically, databases are used where sites require :

Using well established and stable technologies such as PHP and MySQL we can create and integrate a bespoke database seamlessly with your site. We are able to provide database interfaces for both the user and the administrator, so you will be able, to view, add, edit or delete data directly from your web browser.

To allow our clients to use the latest technology in their web sites, all our hosting packages include full programming and online database capability via PHP / MySQL.

If your site is currently hosted with another service provider there are also many other ways in which we may integrate database content.

WHY PHP ?

In most cases we generally recommend that a site be created using PHP as opposed to ASP as PHP has proven in our experience to be a more flexible and stable development platform. The development costs for PHP sites are often less because most functionality is built in to the PHP language, reducing the need to purchase third party components to carry out specific tasks.
