Scalable Designs for Developing Websites.
Need to upgrade your existing website, bringing greater functionality and interactivity? Boudell Web Works understands you need a website that grows with you. We can offer modular, functional design options that can make the most of what you already have and build upon it in manageable ways.
We want you to be comfortable with your site. You have to determine what level of interactivity is appropriate for your site and your business and whether you have the time and personnel to manage that level of interaction. If you aren't yet comfortable managing your email, you might want to avoid overly complicated e-commerce solutions, opting instead for a simpler notification system.
Perhaps you prefer a form mailer allowing clients to send comments through a form on the website which is then delivered your chosen email address. With your visitor's permission, you could use the information from the form to generate a list of email addresses for newsletters or sales notices. You also might like to be able to generate that newsletter yourself, based on a template designed in your website's style. Boudell Web Works helps clients accomplish these tasks through collaborative planning and customized design.
Another way to expand the functionality of a website is through the use of schedulers. Schedulers can greatly enhance appointment setting. A client can request an appointment directly through the website, if the timeslot is available, a request can then be emailed to you for confirmation. Schedulers are also handy for listing upcoming events and highlighting important dates.
Moving beyond schedulers, Boudell Web Works can also create shopping carts as well as product inventories. When you're ready for purchases, you may elect to utilize PayPal purchasing or you may already have access to links provided by other merchant payment (credit/debit card) processors affiliated with your business. (Boudell Web Works is not responsible for the quality or security of such payment processing sites.)
Some clients want the most basic sites with the least amount of interaction involved. This attitude often changes as website owners become more familiar with the technology and appreciate all the Internet can do for their business. As website owners begin to desire more involvement and control over their sites, content control systems become important. Generally used in conjunction with a mySQL database, a content control system is an interface allowing for easy access in updating site text and images. (FrontPage is an example of a proprietary content control system; however, many of it's features work only for Internet Explorer and do not display properly on other browsers.) As your e-business grows, Boudell Web Works can give you the keys to jump in the driver's seat and get in the fast track.
