Website DesignWe specialize in innovative design of websites and e-commerce websites. Our experience in publishing, advertising, marketing, computer technology, website design and search engine optimization makes it possible for us to design websites that are both search-engine friendly and user friendly. From the first keystroke, we design websites to provide the keyword information that applies to your site in a format that appeals to search engines. The simplest websites consist of HTML pages with links to each page. These are called static websites because the content on each page is the same for every visitor and the same page loads every time a visitor clicks a specific link. This website is an example of a static website. The pages on Dolphin Connection Texas, except for the Blog and the Gift Shop are static pages. A dynamic website uses a database to tailor content to the specific visitor's interests. Depending on the reponses the visitor makes in response to certain questions or cues, information is pulled from the database and the page is "assembled" to provide the information requested by the visitor. As a result, designing dynamic pages is more complex, but makes the website more efficient and more compact. Common dynamic elements in a website include blogs, forums, directories, etc. The Blog on Dolphin Connection Texas consista of dynamic pages. E-Commerce websites are the most complex to design and build because they incorporate a database, a shopping cart and some means of processing payments (usually a credit card processing and/or PayPal connection). It is especially important to design these websites from the very beginning with ease of navigation and search-engine optimization in mind because as the site grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to make changes throughtout the site to incorporate these goals. Security is also a very important consideration with these sites because you are gathering customer information, including personal information and credit card information, and storing it in your database. Because these sites are more complex and contain many more pages than most static websites, they are, of course, more expensive. However, that does not mean that they are out of reach for small businesses. A common mistake that many business owners make is trying to design a website themselves or trying to use a website designed "on the cheap" using a template. Neither of these options will provide the functionality and security that a true e-commerce website demands. The Gift Shop on Dolphin Connection Texas is an example of an e-commerce module within a website. |
