Web Design: Databases
Many websites use a database to retrieve and store information. Some of the advantages of this approach are that maintenance is minimised, dynamic information is retrieved and additional functionality can be created.
We can design and implement different systems depending on your requirements...
PHP-MySQL
This is our preferred combination and the web hosting we provide has PHP-MySQL installed as standard. Horsham Pub Guide and Sussex Pub Links both use a MySQL database with PHP as the scripting language.
KM Elite Products and Toys and Learning use a MySQL database to run their online shops.
Lotus-Domino
In partnership with our colleagues at Double 6, we can set up a specialised directory-type website very quickly. The advantages of Lotus-Domino are that extensive functionality is built-in and the web hosting† uses a highly secure Domino-Linux server.
The Golfing Links Info website is an example and was set up within a week.
† Sorry but we do not provide stand-alone Domino database hosting unless you require server colocation or other Notes development work.
