Personal Design Checklist:

The websites we create are database driven, which means you can change the settings, adjust the positioning of its features and you can upload new content and images just like you are creating a Word document.

Its as simple as cut and paste when it comes to content. As all this does not effect the look and feel of your website.

As it is controlled by a template or also known as a skin. You can create a new page, work on it and determine when you would like it to be displayed to visitors or registered visitors or simply schedule it to appear on a certian date and time.

These are classified as dynamic websites more advanced than a simple html website.

You do not need to purchase expensive software like Dreamweaver or Frontpage or Microsoft Expression Web Designer to update this kind of dynamic website.

You do not need to pay $30 tom $60 an hour to get someone to update your website as these websites are able to be updated by yourself.

Let us do the programming for you so you do not have to learn it or use it.

We classify our websites as self-managed websites.

Send email to express your ideas and requirements and an estimate will be forwarded to you based on the content and complexity of your project.

Or we can create several template looks for your website so that you can switch between them in seconds to suit the occassion. Please note: Switching between templates does not effect your content as it is all stored in the database.

* Navigation - what does the site have to offer and what will I find here?
