What Sort of web site do i need?.. There is a lot to take into account when planning to add a web site to your business; you first need to fully understand why you are doing it, and what the requirements are. Are you putting up a site to act as an online brochure? or do you want your site to be a whole new revenue earning aspect to your business?
A Simple Static Web Site. Simple low-cost sites can be like static pages. These types of web site are a good introduction to a first online presence. this type of web site is more accustomed to personal web pages or for small portfolios. These types of web site are usually updated every twelve months or so.
Business / Interactive / Online product catalogue web site. A typical business web site can be compared to an online company brochure, containing information about the products and services a company may offer, with contact details and a photographs or illustrations and downloadable documents. In many cases these types of web site will need to contain programmed pages and scripts (.ASP, PHP, Coldfusion, .NET) and may have dynamic content served-up from a database ( MS Access, MySQL).
Ecommerce / Corporate Dynamic Web Site / Intranet's. Corporate sites are more interactive, and are often linked to databases allowing the visitor to search for information and get presented with unique pages of information drawn from the database's data. We call these dynamic database driven web sites. These sites may be constantly updated with new products or information.
An ecommerce web site would allow visitors to buy goods and execute transactions securely over the internet through a payment gateway. One of the biggest advantages of a database driven web site is that they can be driven from an online content management system, where the content on the site can be added by your authorised employees who won't need to understand web site design or html.
How much will my web site cost? As every web site varies greatly in both content and the intended target audience it is always best to obtain an estimate.

What is a Web Application? A simple web application is much like a piece of software that you can use to add,edit or delete content held on your site.
If you have ever bought online, or done an online search using Google then you have used a Web Application.
A web application can be:
Run anywhere from a web browser, at the office, in a different office, at home, on-site, in a hotel, or wherever you are.
Available 24-7 round the clock, around the world.
Almost always cheaper than traditional software or cost of training individuals in web design.
Many users experience a greater workflow, and enjoy having to spend less time passing documents to IT staff and designers, then waiting for them to be uploaded :
No PC Hardware upgrade is required
Installation is minimal
Training is usually less
It can eliminate expensive multi-site software licences
Because it's custom-written for your business, the underlying system can grow and expand just like your business when required.
Once any information is added to a web application it can become instantly available on your web site much like a content management system.
What is Dynamic Content? Dynamic content can mean many things, but the simplest explanation is to think of when you enter a search on Google. Google will then display a page containing pages with the information you requested, this information can change daily,weekly or monthly, so there for it is dynamic.
What can dynamic content include? Dynamic content can include any information you wish to display to your customers or anyone browsing your web site. This can include products, services, opening times, arrivals/departures and booking dates.
Most Dynamic Content will need to use special programmed pages or scripts and may also be connected to a database or XML source.
DADI can provide the following programming languages for your web sites pages: ASP, PHP, Coldfusion and .NET and can connect to and use the following database languages: MySQL, MSSQL, MS Access.

What is an Intranet/Extranet? An intranet is a restricted-access network that works like the Web, but isn't on it. Usually owned and managed by a company, an intranet enables a company to share its resources with its employees without confidential information being made available to everyone with Internet access. An extranet is simply the same as above although it allows external companies or customers to login and use the information.
DADI can provide an intranet or extranet solution that will allow you or your employees to edit your existing web site, upload documents, files and images. We can also implement a secure login facility to allow only authorised external access to your information.
For more information about DADI's intranet or extranet solutions please contact us.
What is eCommerce? This is short for Electronic Commerce, and is a general term used to describe all forms of trade on the Internet, especially those where payment is taken via the Web.
Shopping Carts? This is a term used to describe a facility which enables you to select goods as you browse through an on-line shopping catalogue. You can usually view descriptions, pictures or related product reviews. Payment for the selected goods can be made once you have finished using your shopping cart.
DADI can provide your business web site with shopping carts of varying degrees of complexity. We can provide simple shopping carts using a PayPal account, or a full eCommerce system linked directly to a payment gateway and your bank.
For more information about DADI's eCommerce solutions please contact us.
What is a content management system (CMS)? A standard HTML web site is static and fixed. Which means that to change any text and images, the page files that make up the site must be edited then uploaded to the web server. To do this you either have to be a web programmer or you have to hire one. With a content management system, the content within the pages that make up the site is not pre-written into the pages, but pulled from an online database when a user requests a page.
DADI can create you a custom CMS web site, with varying degrees of sophistication, using your existing company logo, colours and corporate identity.

What is Flash? Created by Macromedia, Flash animation is one of the hottest technologies on the web. Because Flash is vector-based (a way of storing computer graphics), the file sizes are extremely small. This means fast streaming animation, with special effects, sound, and even interactivity.
Will the files mean my pages download slower? In general the added size of a Flash animated file should make no difference to your web page, when using a modern broadband connection.
Does Flash work in all browsers? Flash works via the use of a plugin which downloads into your browser software. DADI makes sure that all of our flash files and corresponding web pages are viewable in all of the major browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Explorer and OPERA.
Flash is ideal for rich media advertisement, to learn more click here.
DADI can use Flash to capture data from customers browsing your web site, we can also construct your web site entirely of Flash animation.

What is a Newsletter? A periodically published document or message, containing news and announcements on a subject. Email Newsletters are an excellent vehicle for communicating with small to large audiences. Also referred to as an Email Newsletter or eNewsletter.
DADI can create you a custom newsletter facility for any web site including your existing web site.
