Types of Web Applications
Apart from being able to make anything you like with custom programming, businesses and organizations usually choose between 4 major types of web applications.
E-Commerce:
An example of an E-Commerce website would be BestBuy.com. E-commerce websites have a great ROI if marketed properly. An E-Commerce website is the same as an online store. With E-Commerce websites, you can sell thousands of products without having them in your inventory. You can drop ship items and sell them at a marked up price to make a profit. Some stores sell online because of the low startup costs and low maintenance fees. With an E-Commerce website, you can reach an international audience and make money.
CMS (Content Management System)
CMS websites allow an editor with no knowledge of coding to change text and images on the website. A good example of a CMS would be the front page of a myspace profile. Once logged in to a CMS system, you can just fill in text boxes to update a website without having to know any code. This option is great for people who know they want to update their website often, but don't want to deal with costly engineer fees. Although there are some popular CMS systems like JOOMLA and others, we prefer to custom build each website, because pre-built systems are often bloated and too hard to use.
Blog
A Blog is a contraction of the term "weblog". Blogs are personal websites that are functional as a journal of sorts, except that its viewable to the public. A Blog is usually updated more than weekly and can contain anything from how your day was to how to get better credit. Blogs are great for SEO because google likes to see websites that are updated often, especially with relevant, meaty content. Please contact us so we can set up a Blog for you.
Social Networking
Social Networking sites are Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter. A Social Networking website allows a user to conect with millions of other users through a website. We can make custom Social Networking sites, so you can bring people together.
