If you have purchased a Comprehensive or a Database Pack, you will already have a database integrated with your website. If you chose an Ecommerce or a Design Pack, and you want further development which requires a database, then this page will provide you with lots of information to help you decide what you need.
Websites have grown from static online brochures to interactive dynamic sites. This is usually achieved by the use of a database, which is linked to the web pages to serve content on the fly. The creation of websites like this involves programming skills and is known as Web Development.
A full database driven solution is what you need for complete control over the content of your website and the ability to update the text and images on all pages throughout the site. Dynamic websites can be updated in real time, enabling changes to be displayed instantly. For example:
A Discount Travel site could show availability and prices of all their flight packages. When a particular flight is fully booked, the site would show it.
Another example would be an auction site that has constantly changing prices in response to bids from visitors to the site.
There are thousands of applications for database development and in the near future database driven sites are going to become the norm. This is partly due to the fact that sites are growing larger all the time and it is impractical to update a large site in any other way. The most common databases are Access for simple databases; SQL for more complex databases and Oracle for the largest, most complex jobs.
Standard Database Driven Website
Our standard database driven website allows you to access an administration module and update the content or upload new images:
It is fully secure – access is via the entry of a unique username and password
You can add, delete and edit your content. This includes text, images, sound and video clips
Changes are instantly reflected on the website
If you can send an email, you can update your own website using our WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) technology (simple point and click)
You can access your Control Panel from any internet connection anywhere in the world.

Data Entry |
|
Data Entry: This is simply entering the website text that you supply into a database. As the content of a database driven site is retrieved from the database itself - this is the content that will be displayed on the website. As you get administration access to enter your own content, this is something you can do yourself. However if you would prefer it done for you - then we will be happy to do this for a modest fee. |

Database Set-up and Backend Scripting |
|
Database Set-up & Backend Scripting: If you want to have complete control over the content of your website and the ability to update the text and images on all pages throughout the site; then a full database driven solution is what you need. Our standard database driven site allows you to access an administration module and update the content or upload new images. By getting additional administration modules you can even add new pages or sections to the site although for anything above site wide editing and update facilities it is best if you contact us first to discuss your requirements. The database set-up fee covers the creation and set-up of the database required for a dynamic site. In addition to this you will just need to pay for administration modules and a password module. If the database is part of an application - then you will be quoted separately for the scripting and programming required. |

Admin Modules/Screens |
|
Admin Screens: In order to manage your database driven website we create one or more administration modules. These are control panels that allow you to add; delete and edit the site content. Additional modules can be used to create new pages; sections or subsections. Each function on the database requires one module. For instance edit content requires one module and add page requires another. Each module can also only relate to the same page structure with the same editable fields on the page. As most pages on a database driven site will be of the same structure - this isn't a problem. For instance a typical page could have a heading; a bold introductory subheading; main body text; links and an image. This would be a standard layout throughout the site. However there may be other special pages such as links pages or contact pages that have a different structure and would therefore require a different module. If you are in any doubt; please contact us. |

Basic Password Module |
|
Basic Password Module: The password module is the area that restricts access to the administration modules. This means only authorised users can access the admin areas and update the site content. There are two kinds of password modules - basic and advanced. This item is the basic module; which just provides standard password protection for one or more users. This is sufficient for most websites unless you need many different users to be accessing the control panel and need to be able to enable or disable access or restrict access to certain areas. |

Advanced Password Module |
|
Advanced Password Module: The password module is the area that restricts access to the administration modules. This means only authorised users can access the admin areas and update the site content. There are two kinds of password modules - basic and advanced. The advanced module gives a user and super user facility so the super-user can manage the password access of the normal users. This is useful for larger organisations that may have many different administrators. The facility allows the super user to enable or disable users; change passwords and restrict access to certain modules. |

Site Personalisation Script |
|
Site Personalisation Script: If you would like your website to provide a more personal experience for your users then a personalisation script may be what you require. This will allow return visitors to be identified and welcomed with a specific message. An example of this could be a message that welcomes them by name and thanks them for coming back to visit the site. The script can even direct the user to a preferred area of interest on the site and advise them of any areas that have been updated since their last visit. The script requires the user to register on their first visit; then just tracks their visits and preferences when they return through the use of a cookie. |

Page Update Facilities |
|
Page Update Facilities: One of the essential requirements for a successful website is that the content should be regularly updated to ensure visitors return again and again. If you need to do this frequently on a few specific pages then it can work out expensive if you have to pay for update fees each time. The best option under these circumstances is update facilities that allow you to just update specific pages rather than requiring a full database driven site. Typically this is used on pages such as ""What's New; Press; Articles; News etc. We will then connect the content of this page to a simple database file and we will create a password protected administration module that allows you to login and update the relevant page. |
