Web Applications are programs that use a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Foxfire as an interface to an online database. Examples of web applications are e-commerce Web sites and online banking Web sites. However, there are many other applications that have been developed using web application technology. A simple web application allows a user to search for and view data stored in a database. For example, you might go to an entertainment website and search for and view a list of concerts in your area. A more sophisticated Web application would allow you also to purchase tickets after you find the concert you want.

There are any number of ways a web application that can benefit a small or growing business. A simple application that allows users to sign up for a newsletter is one example. A more sophisticated application would allow multiple users to share a calendar. There a numerous standard web applications that can easily add functionality to your Web site. Examples are calendars, blog, and forums.

We can also develop custom web applications to meet the specific needs of your business. For example, if your Web site requires content to be changed frequently, we can design an application to allow you to easily keep your web content up-to-date without the need for a trained staff person or outside contractor. One of your employees can simply log into the admin section of your Web site and fill in an online form that will update a database. The Web page's content is then automatically updated when a visitor views a page on your site.

As part of our development process we will advise you on whether a web application is advisable for your Web site.
