The heart of modern dynamic web sites is often what happens on the "backend", or server side of things. Here is where ExciteFX really shines; our developers have been working with Internet programming and protocols since the beginning.
Let us help you apply appropriate technology to solve your needs.
Building enhanced functionality into your website allows your business to increase efficiency and lower costs by, for example:
Database integration All but the smallest of websites requires the use of databases (or, increasingly, XML data stores) to store content, user information, product catalogs and other kinds of data. A database-backed website brings you several advantages:
Easy updating (content separated from presentation)
Dynamic generation of timely, personalized web pages
Data reuse (it's easy to make reports from the database for use in other contexts)
Scalability and flexibility
ExciteFX designs and builds robust database-backed websites to make intelligent use of your company's time and data.
Content Management Regular updates and additions to your site content can be a major driver of repeat traffic. While ExciteFX does offer full maintenance contracts, we prefer to build smart tools which allow your staff to update content in a timely and well-managed fashion.
Typical features of our content management tools include timed release (you can set a date for articles and news items to go live), content approval mechanisms (new material must be approved and amended by the appropriate departments before publication) and searchable archives (so old material can remain as a valuable resource for your site visitors).
Intranets and Extranets The same familiar and powerful technologies which have made the Web so successful can be used within your organization to deliver, manage and report company information. A well-built intranet can provide your company with a competitive edge by giving staff and management efficient, controlled access to up-to-date company and product information and encouraging productive collaboration and communication.
An extranet extends your intranet beyond your physical office, allowing employees, customers, and partners to access the information they need wherever they are. ExciteFX specializes in designing and building applications based on web technologies that meet the very specific requirements of your business. Contact us to discuss your needs.
