If you need to design or update a web site, web training, deploy an eCommerce solution, integrate your existing systems, or design a custom application, please contact us for a free consultation.

CNI will work with you to develop a web strategy that will provide a road map for the design, implementation, and maintenance of your e-business plan. We assist our clients with both the technical, graphical and marketing aspects of developing a Web Site. Here is an approach that seems to work best.

1. Marketing Consultation: Our consultant will set a time to discuss the nature of a business. During this interview we will establish a feel for the business and try to help determine "Why should your business be on the internet?" and "What is the purpose of your business's Web Site?" Likewise, we look to determine a feel for your business's unique features and style.

2. Content Flowchart: Based on the results of the interview we will create a flowchart of the content and pages to be included in your Web Site. This flowchart is designed to show you the possibilities available for their site. Once this is completed, we consult with you and make modifications to the flowchart.

3. Rough Draft: Once the content has your approval, the Project Team will meet together and format a rough draft of your Web Site.

4. Collection of Content: We will then help gather and/or create the textual content for your Web Site. Printed materials are a good starting point for content. However, a Web Site should be more than just a copy of the source material, which direct many of the visitors to the Web Site in the first place. Our Marketing Advisors help find the right content for your site.

5. Collection of Graphics: Our Graphic Designers will select the pictures or type of pictures for your Web Site. Then our Graphic Designers will design any custom graphics (Buttons, Logos, Borders and Backgrounds) necessary for site. At this point in the process our Project Team's goal is to find and/or create an overall image for your Web Site. Specifically, we look to develop a consistent look throughout the site.

6. Programming: With the final draft in hand our programmers and designers will actually create the site.

In addition, we will provide your business with critical web statistics to determine the effectiveness of your company's web strategy. Our consultants will work with you to develop a plan so it is easy for your business to make changes and updates while giving your end-users the performance they need to complete important business functions.

Database and Custom Software Design & Development

What are dynamic web pages?

To understand dynamic web pages, you have to understand normal or in other words 'static' web pages.

Typical non-dynamic web pages do not change every time the page is loaded by the browser, nor do they change if a user clicks on a button. The only change that you will see in static web pages is to see them load and unload, like what happens when you click on a hyperlink.

In a nutshell: static web pages (normal pages you build) always look the same and the content never changes unless you load a new page or you change the page yourself and upload the new version of the page to the web server.

Dynamic pages do the opposite, they can change every time they are loaded (without you having to make those changes) and they can change their content based on what users do, like clicking on some text or an image. (I am not talking about loading a new page!)

DATABASE DRIVEN WEB PAGES

One of the most common types of dynamic web pages is the database driven type. This means that you have a web page that grabs information from a database (the web page is connected to the database by programming,) and inserts that information into the web page each time it is loaded.

If the information stored in the database changes, the web page connected to the database will also change accordingly (and automatically,) without human intervention.

This is commonly seen on online banking sites where you can log in (by entering your user name and password) and check out your bank account balance. Your bank account information is stored in a database and has been connected to the web page with programming thus enabling you to see your banking information.

Imagine if the web page holding your banking information had to be built traditionally (that is by hand,) every time your bank balance changed! Even a thousand monkeys working 24/7 drinking 5 cups of coffee a day, would not be able to keep up!

Hopefully you are starting to see why you would want a database driven site: you would want it if your information changes very often, just like in a banking site.

Database driven sites can be built using several competing technologies, each with it’s own advantages. Some of those technologies/tools include:

Web site visibility – the ease with which potential customers or visitors can find a web site amongst a myriad of competitors – is a crucial factor in a site’s success or failure.

Web visibility is not merely a question of search engine optimisation (SEO). There is a great deal more to it than that, as this training course demonstrates.

Search engine optimization is important, given that more new web site visitors come from search engine referrals than from any other source, but the term is ambiguous, widely misunderstood and probably overrated.

E-Commerce Shopping Carts provide you with a platform to sell your products online. There are many e-commerce solution providers that charge an arm and a leg with outrageous set-up costs and ongoing monthly fees, but we are not one of them. We love and use open source standards and technology in all of our projects and because of this, we are able to pass on significant savings to you.

We have a range of experience with shopping carts, but our preference is to work with osCommerce and Magento. We customize every aspect of the store to fit seamlessly with your design, assist you with product setup, and advise on merchant account providers and online payment gateways.

If your website does not appear within Google’s first 10 search results, it might as well be invisible. Utilizing the power of Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) which both fall under the umbrella term of Internet Marketing to effectively promote your website and direct relevant traffic to your site is what is needed in order to be able to compete in a competitive online world.

Investing in a sound SEM or SEO campaign is an essential means by which to separate your website above from the crowd’s. The days of using the ‘build it, and they shall come’ approach to website management has long gone, and even securing a perfectly user-friendly website will not be enough to attract the visitors. Getting noticed on the internet will require that you employ solid marketing strategies and endless promotion. Understanding the concept of might aid you more in your quest for the ever elusive high page ranking. Internet marketing aspires to promote websites by increasing their visibility in search engine result pages, or SERPs, through the use of various marketing strategies such as SEO, paid placement ads, contextual advertising and paid inclusion.
