 Then there is the Web 2.0 factor. You may have an idea that requires a robust online presence, online interactivity, native marketing tools such as RSS and a Newsletter and native SEO capability (such as alt tag control, link name control and automatic optimisation of site file structure) which means you need a website that is dynamic, scaleable and coded on a database-driven Content Management System (CMS) which allows you to have total control of your website without needing to know any code.
Dynamic websites are never just one thing. Each has a certain degree of functionality which is dictated by your online business model. An online community like Facebook or MySpace are dynamic websites but each is coded in a slightly different way depending on the nature of its community and the functionality expected by its users.
A dynamic website becomes, always, the perfect choice in going live with an eCommerce solution as it allows you to have a large degree of control over the functionality of your eCommerce environment. Similarly, dynamic websites can be enabled with Web 2.0 features such as a Blog, a Forum and even a vertical community which allows users to create and post profiles, internally message each other and share interests and hobbies.
At WebDirectStudio we understand all this which is why we always begin by asking you the question, what do you want to do with your site?
Because websites are more than just static online catalogues we also offer a full panoply of support services. We can create fully interactive FLASH banners, eye-catching static banners, FLASH movies, presentations and even full-blown promotional videos which can be used to market your site online. Our in-house library has over 200,000 images and we subscribe to some of the largest online photolibraries just so we can find the right image to work on your site.
