Web Programming & Scripting.

"DADI, Staffordshire web site designers, web programming, PHP, ASP, .Net, ColdFusion, MySQL, CSS implementation, JavaScript, XML and Ajax design & development."

A static brochure like web site will sometimes be all that is required from a client. But more often than not a business needs a web site to perform a specific task or collect data from its visitors.  This is where web programming and scripting languages come into play.

The list of web programming languages available is almost endless but they all tend to work in the same way.  When a static web site receives a request for a page, the web server sends the page along with the images and other external files to the users browser window.  When a dynamic or scripted web site receives a request for a page it will only display the information defined by the user requesting it. This means your site quickly becomes more of an streamlined, interactive and enjoyable experience to the end user.

A vast majority of dynamically programmed or scripted web sites will link up to an external database which holds all of the data or products to be displayed on the web sites pages.

A web site that uses  a considerable amount of scripting to work correctly is usually called a web application.  Types of web application include, web blog's, forums, e-commerce web sites and content management systems.

"What web programming language does my web site require?"

As we mentioned before, there is many different types of web programming or web scripting languages that can be used in your web site.  All have there own advantages and weaknesses.  For existing web sites the web programming or scripting language used is dictated by your current web server technology. All new web sites that we create at DADI - dadi-online.com can be constructed using any web programming, web scripting language requested.

If you are unsure what technology your web server uses contact your web hosting provider.
