So we've already tried to explain what a web application is, but why would a web application fit you or your business? It all depends on your needs and where you want to go
with your online presence. People come to us and ask us for a website so that they can have an online presence. They just want to feature a couple of pages explaining their business and some
pictures that show what they do or where they are located. Pretty simple. We go and create a great web design for them with HTML code and maybe a little Javascript and voila! Done. The page content never changes unless they request for us to change it. This suits a lot of companies who are just wanting to get online. But what if someone wants to go for more than just an online presence? What if they want to sell products on their website to anyone in the world? What? Is that even possible?
Yes, it is possible. With the magic of server-side coding and database storage, many things are now possible. These web application pages not only contain HTML code, but also contain web technologies that allow for a page to change on the fly, without you having to go in there and change something.
So this customer comes to us and wants to sell his product or products on the web to the millions of people online. As explained earlier, a basic site will not let you do this. A basic web design
will not allow a customer to go on there, browse your up-to-date inventory, select a product and add it to their online web cart, check out and pay online. Why? Because it's a static website. Nothing changes on it, unlike dynamic web applications. That's when you would choose a web application over a simple web design site.
But what if I don't want to sell my products online? I want to be able to give my custoemers the option to go online and manage their accounts. Ok, that's possible too. On a static site you may be able to display customer information, but you won't be able to change it. They will be calling you and asking you to change their information. But with a web application, you are empowering
your customers to be able to manage and do whatever they want with their account. If you don't want them to be able to change their name, don't worry. We will build your site to your needs and
anything is possible!
Your idea doesn't fit those two scenarios? Don't worry. Many many things are possible with dynamic web development. Here is a small list of things that we can do for you.
- If you're a doctor, we can create a site that will allow your patients to update their insurance information, pay their balance, and manage their account.
- If you own a rental car place, we can set up a system where customers can go online and reserve a car right from the site, and even pay on the spot.
- If you're a photographer, we can develop something for you that will allow you to upload your pictures on the site for the world to see. You can even sell them right away!
- Do you operate a newspaper classifieds company? Well, we can set you up with a system that puts your classifieds online and let millions of possible viewers view them and increase your revenue
And that's just a small list! It's even possible to manage your site and create whole web applications that will be accessible to anyone from their very own cellphone. Pretty much anything is possible and we want to prove that to you. Think your idea will be too out of this world to create? Try us! We want to hear from you and we want your business!
