The technical side of creating a website is often times transparent to both the user and the site owners themselves. This can keep nontechnical people from getting confused about issues that have no real importance in regards to what they ultimately want to get accomplished. However, knowing the technical capabilities of your website may open up options that were not previously considered.

The programming skills that Magical Page Productions offers should be sufficient for most web projects. These skills include: HTML/CSS, JavaScript, PHP and Perl, and MySQL databasing. The combination of these programming options can create a powerful interactive experience for your users and a successful Internet presense for you company.

<Top> <JavaScript> <PHP/PERL> <MySQL> Being able to program in HTML/CSS allows for website recreation without the limitations of using a WYSIWYG/content editor. This being said Magical Page Productions does not provide content editors with their websites. However if this is a requirement, we do have a partnership with WSI Internet Consulting which provides highend solutions, including content editors and more. The cost would obviously be affected by adding this type of functionality.

<Top> <HTML/CSS> <PHP/PERL> <MySQL> JavaScript is a tool that allows for more interaction between a visitor and your website. It can provide for interesting navigation, swapping of text and images, as well as on-line form preprocessing. Even though we do not consider ourselves to be master JavaScript programmers, we do have the capabilities to create worthwhile interactions with your visitors.

<Top> <HTML/CSS> <JavaScript> <MySQL> JavaScript is a client side scripting language because it actually runs inside the clients browser. For this reason it is very browser specific and not entirely secure. Scripting languages like PHP and Perl run on the web server that is hosting your website. If written correctly, they can be very secure and can generate dynamic content on your site. They can also be used to process on-line forms and interact with databases such as MySQL. Database interaction can be used for many reasons as discussed below and having tools such as PHP and Perl can add a large amount of functionality to a website.

<Top> <HTML/CSS> <JavaScript> <PHP/PERL> MySQL is an open source relational database engine that is fast and widely used on the Internet. It has much of the functionality of commericial relational database products without the upfront cost commitment. It has also been redesigned for The Web and interacts easily with websites using standard scripting languages such as PHP and Perl.

Adding Databasing to your website can benefit you in a variety of ways including: customer logins, saving email addresses and other information, targeted searching, and organization of large amounts of data such as product information or image lists. Complete custom applications can also be designed. For example we are designing a customer resource module for a client with a web front-end and a MySQL database. Their are unlimited uses for databases on the web. Can you think of one that would greatly benefit your company? Let us know if we can help.
