Web Applications and Software

Do you want an interactive website for your Hastings Business?

Many web business would like to have interactive web applications: forums, photo-gallery's, shopping carts and other applications. CData has installed, customized, and worked with all of these for various websites in Hastings Nebraska.

We have also used various CMS systems (like Joomla) that will allow the website owner to quickly and efficiently update content on the website... all without any web programming or development knowledge (if you can use a word processor like wordperfect or Microsoft Word... you can do it!). This can save the business money since they do not have to pay a web designer to update content on their website.

Online shopping carts allow website visitors to purchase your products. There are many different shopping carts that can be purchased, as well as several excellent shopping cart applications that are "open source" (free!) that can be customized to me your specific needs. Online shopping is another way to bring traffic and customers to your Hastings Nebraska business.

The Most popular online "language" for web applications is PHP. There are literally dozens of web applications written in a mixture of php and html including: forums, photo-galleries, CMS systems, online shopping carts, and many others.

The web development programming languages such as php, .cgi, and mysql databases are included with the majority of all web hosting packages - even the cheaper ones. Some servers (Microsoft) use asp.net and other languages, but all have CMS systems that can be customized and adapted to meet your e-commerce needs.

Dynamic Database Website Development

Do You need a website that has a lot of dynamic variety, rotating pictures, secure login pages, database interactivity, and other elements?

CData can design, develop and customize, a wide variety of "Dynamic" elements for your web site. This could include such items as: Forums, Content Management Systems, shopping carts, and other database enabled applications.

We have experience developing using MySQL and Microsoft Access databases. You will notice if you check out some of the sites CData has developed some of these "dynamic" elements. The ACC and Broadman websites for instance both have custom programming that enables events from a Mysql database to be placed directly into the sites home page... without the website owner having to do it "by hand.".

We also can provide custom entry/login pages for password protected portions of your website as well as almost anything else you may desire.

Other Web Design Benefits of Dynamic Web Sites?

Dynamic websites using a CMS system are easy to update and add fresh content to the site. The Broadman Website for instance can be updated by anyone with a basic word processor level of knowledge. Once logged in, they can easily update the content, add photo's to the page, and delete content without paying for someone else to update the site. Using this system, you would be able to quickly log into your business website from anywhere in Hastings Nebraska (any place with internet access) and update your sites content. While a dynamic database driven web site may take longer (and cost more) initially to set up, for a web site with lots of material, products, etc., you will save money in the long run.

CData is also able to develop navigation systems and flash websites. Another area we have used flash is for teaching or showing how to perform specific actions in a program. The ACC has some examples of a Chess program This is an excellent way for potential visitors to your e-commerce website to see software or another product "in action" by using Flash Animations..
