What is "Development"?
There is a difference between a website
"design"
and website "development".
Design involves the graphical elements
of
a website. Colors, images, navigation
buttons
and icons.
Development involves scripting and
coding
on the server which makes your site
dynamic
and interactive.
Some companies specialize in one area or
the other, at azlDESiGN we do both....
Below you'll find a few examples of
specifically
what "development" means.
Real Time Content Management - A program which allows you to add content
to your site in "real time".
The
advantage of this is that the site
owner
can keep their product offerings current
without incurring the additional expense
of having the "webmaster"
do it
for them. A few example sites are listed
below:
- Columbia View Properties - Available Properties can be updated at
any time by the site owner.
- Rocky Mt. Mini Trucks - Sales Showroom can be updated at any time.
- Chris O'Brien Photography - Services and Prices can be updated as
needed.
- These are just a few examples, and most azlDESiGN
sites come with a Real Time Content
Management
system. This allows your site to
keep working
for you in the long run, without
incurring
additional the additional expense
of having
someone update your site for you.
Mail Lists - Many of our clients have a loyal customer
base who want to be informed about
new products
or events. Opt-In Mail Lists are a
perfect
tool for this. A customer visits your
site
and signs up for your email list. You
create
one message and send it to the entire
list
with the click of a button. Your customers
can opt in or out of the mail list
at any
time - thus allowing you to avoid problems
with sending unsolicited information.
Shopping Carts - Everyone who has been online for anytime
at all has, at some point, used a shopping
cart to order products. azlDESiGN can
help
you create an e-commerce site too!
FLASH Animation - It's cool and it adds a great element
of interactivity and interest to your
site.
FLASH is like a mini "web movie"
and tons of cool effects can be created
with
it. Not only is Flash great eye-candy,
but
it is also a powerful development tool.
The
key to making Flash work on any site
is that
the focus of the site should not be
your
"cool" Flash animation, but
rather
that the animation emphasizes the goal
of
the site. A few examples of FLASH can
be
seen here:
Customized Services - One size does *not* fit all. At azlDESiGN
we look at the overall goal of the
site and
develop the tools which are required
to meet
that goal.
