Custom Solutions for Dynamic Web Sites

We offer fully functional web sites with beautiful designs at an unbeatable value. We are affordable enough for the smallest organizations and capable enough to provide even the most demanding custom solutions.

Some web projects are harder to put a finger on, because they involve advanced functionality that may be hard for a business owner to describe. What do we mean by “advanced functionality”? Here are some examples:

Sites that dynamically change (page is different for one user than another)
Sites that contain user-definable profiles or functions like social networking
Sites that offer memberships, subscriptions, or user logins (except one-time pay-per-download)
Sites that restrict certain content to privileged web visitors besides administrative staff
Sites that sell listings, like classified advertising, or other e-commerce not covered by our existing software modules

If your web project requires advanced functionality like those described above, that is, functionality not already provided by our existing software modules or “web 2.0” package pricing (under “Online Forms & Databases” subheading), then the cookie-cutter approach may not cut it with your special project. If your idea is to provide a unique new service, let us help you move your plans forward with confidence.

Choose Your Approach to a Dynamic Web Site

There are basically two ways to think about your high-functionality web site: (1) You can find off-the-shelf web software that does most of what you want, and then work within the constraints of what it will do; or, (2) in order to deliver something truly original, you can precisely define what your web site will do and how it will do it—and hire a web developer to create a custom-engineered solution.

If you have an inspired idea for a new web business, chances are you'll want to take the latter approach. Since this approach enables us to create something new, unique, and original...you have the prospect of exploiting a new market niche that may be completely untapped! Or you may have the opportunity to automate your front-end business processes, serving the unique needs of an existing client base. However, since a custom-engineered solution is required, your web development costs will be higher, so appropriate planning is necessary.

Don't Build Your “House” without a “Blueprint”!

When a custom solution for a high-functionality web site is required, it's necessary to write a specification as your “blueprint” before work begins. Once the specification is written, then you'll be able to take bids from a variety of web professionals, and benefit from the competition, comparing apples to apples. Otherwise, interpretations and bids vary widely, and there's no standard against which to measure complete delivery of services.

We'll interview you to discuss your unique needs & requirements, then write a specification using plain English (as much as possible) for you, and industry standard terminology for your bidders; so you and your bidders will be “on the same page” and you can begin your web project with confidence. There is no further obligation to use our services after the specification is written, although we hope you'll consider us as one of your bidders.

Writing the specification costs a tiny fraction of your project development cost. As a side benefit, during the interview process, we will also consult with you to discuss technology strategies, thus helping you avoid costly mistakes in your business planning process. Is peace of mind, sound risk management, and confident business planning worth a tiny fraction of the development cost to you?
