... For the first 2-3 weeks of running the interface, our programmers from Hypersite "checked in" with us several times to make sure everything was OK and to inquire if any additional features were required...

Development

Data feeds programs. Buying trends are determined from it. Product prices adjust to it. Profit is made on it. Reports show blank pages without it. Likewise, the data does no good by simply existing. It must be shaped into meaningful views and reports.

Part of our job is to determine if you even need to capture data. Dynamic content is a powerful concept. When used properly, a program can display up-to-date information as it is manipulated. Information that rarely changes may be better suited to a static environment. When data is in need of frequent modification or when user actions affect related data, a database is essential. We assess your current needs and future goals to establish the best solution. The result is a tailored application that is fueled by efficient data, as it is required.

Programming

Let's face it. Computers are dumb. Without qualified programmers to write instructions for the computer, it has nothing to do. To many, programming may seem a bit intimidating. After all, there are numerous programming languages that exist for several different purposes. Programmers must learn each applicable language for their needs. As with other professions, commitment and knowledge of the latest technologies moulds a programmer into a "code warrior". That is all we enlist at Hypersite.

The art of programming involves identifying all the needs for the client. Needs may exist that extend beyond the current project. Most needs are unknown to the client until we identify them. The target user of the program plays a major role in the early phases of development. A program may be intended for internal use on a local area network on MS Windows computers. It may be a portal to a company's product line that is to be viewed over the Internet by the public. Other programs may span both worlds and form an interesting hybrid. Hypersite's staff of programmers is certainly capable of distinguishing the proper solution for you.

Some of our clients have specific requirements. Our skill set includes the following languages and technologies:

  • .NET
  • Active Server Pages (ASP)
  • Hyper-text Markup Language (HTML)
  • Visual Basic Script (VBScript)
  • JavaScript
  • Dynamic HTML (DHTML)
  • Extended Markup Language (XML)
  • Structured Query Language (SQL)
  • Visual Basic
  • Delphi
  • Visual C++
  • C/C++
  • Perl
  • Microsoft Access
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Crystal Reports

Database Design

A database is vital for dynamic content. It is a store for related data. Programmers can provide the necessary interfaces to create, modify and delete the data. It is then written to the appropriate database. Most applications store data for one simple reason, to report on that data. Without the data there are no reports to view, but without reports the data is just there. In some cases, an application can make the data "work" for some purpose. For example, a website may implement a database in order to sell products online. The resulting program would allow a user to view products based on search criteria or simple categorization; a basic report. However, the real benefit comes to light when the user finishes shopping and supplies credit card information to purchase the selected products. The combination of program and database becomes your product catalog, product displays, salesperson, cashier, clearing-house and advertiser all at once.

Hypersite can make this a reality for you. Our extensive database experience becomes your experience. It all begins with database design. We spend a considerable amount of energy on the design phase. A well-planned database is crucial to a successful dynamic application. The application may be a specialized accounting system for your network or an e-commerce solution for the Internet. Whatever your data needs are or will be, Hypersite can not only light the way; we can build the way.
