Bonnie and Clyde robbed banks. In "Being There", Peter Sellers liked to watch (T.V.). We build web sites.
Your Approach
There are basically 3 approaches to the development of a web site:
You can use one of the many (mostly free) online services which allow you to build a simple one, two or three page site using predefined
templates. You just select a style you like, and fill in the blanks.
If you have the time, energy, background and/or staff, you can build it yourself.
You can hire someone else to build it for you.
We are Internet Development Consultants, and we stand ready to assist you should you decide on Approach Number 3.
Which option is best for you? We don't know. Time, money, purpose and a dozen other factors determine this. We can, however, suggest two good books to help you begin to learn what you need to know in order to make an informed decision:
"Webonomics: Nine Essential Principals for Growing your Business on the World Wide Web" by Evan I. Schwartz, Broadway Books, ISBN 0-7679-0134-7.
"Information Architecture for the World Wide Web" by Louis Rosenfeld and Peter Morville, O'Reilly, ISBN 1-56592-282-4.
The second book is actually designed for people looking to develop large scale web sites, but it is a very sober treatise on the issues surrounding web
site development and will force you to examine the right questions you need to be asking.
Our Approach
A few of the fundamental questions we want to know (and you should want to know) right away are:
Who are you, and what does your organization do?
Who is your market or intended audience?
What do you hope to achieve with a web site?
Who do you hope to attract to your web site?
What do you intend to offer them when they get there?
How do you intend to keep them coming back?
How do you intend to let them know the site exists?
How do you intend to let everyone else know the site exists?
Once we understand these basic questions, we can then begin to think about what the site should look like, what its overall mission should be, and what
specific features it should have. Oh, yes, and how much it'll cost!
An Application, Not a Brochure
Our firm has 20 years experience in the area of software development (hence, the name "Software Creations").
We are very well versed in the entire methodology of software application development:
Objectives
Specifications
Design
Code
Test
Implement
So, we approach the development of your web site like the development of a software
application, because that is what it is. It is coded just like a computer program using HTML, JavaScript, Java Servlets and Java Server Pages. It is designed to perform specific
functions, the basic one being to deliver information about your organization, but certainly many, many others such as publishing your library of content, describing and selling your
product/service, testing your end-user's knowledge with quizzes and games, or providing unique educational content on specific subjects. It is also designed to yield specific
results, such as increased awareness of your organization/company/product/service, increased dollars in your bank account, etc... Whatever the application(s) you specify, the site needs to involve it's visitors in a way which makes the experience compelling
enough for them to buy whatever you are selling, learn whatever you are teaching, or, at the very least, return again and again.
You don't achieve this level of response by designing your web site to be little more than
an electronic version of your company brochure or organization chart. However you finally choose to develop your site, please don't make this mistake! Keep in mind that flashy
graphics and catchy titles will stimulate your site visitors -- the FIRST time they visit. After that, if you have no involving content, you can rest assured they won't be back.
Think of it this way: The people you are trying to attract to your site have as little time to waste as you. Design your site with this in mind, and you'll be OK.
Self-Administration
At Software Creations, we develop your site with a built in Control Panel that will allow
you to update data, links and other information on the site using a standard web browser. What is the advantage of this? For one, it takes your web site designer completely out of
the day to day process of running your site and keeping it fresh. Your web master can now allocate site update responsibilities rather than be the sole person able to add
content to the site. An Administration/Staff Control Panel lets you update
Web Pages
Database Items
Web Links
Graphic / Image Files
and, update them with no technical skills required other than the ability to use a web
browser. Now, when a page needs to be changed or a link added or a new "Event Calendar" or "What's New" item published, there is no need to call in the web site
developer or open the web development software -- you only need go to the site Control Panel and implement the required update.
There are many Online Hosting Services which allow you to self-administer your site so
long as you host with them. Our service is very unique in that we develop (or re-engineer) your web site so that it can be remotely administered online.
Here are some examples of Self-Administered Web Sites we have created:
Associated Administrators of Los Angeles This site runs on the main LAUSD WWW servers (IBM AIX OS) utilizing its mainframe DB2 database. It demonstrates how the Self-Administration Web Site can be easily implemented in non-PC, non-Windows environments.
