| Database driven web sites allow you to manage your online contant and images. For example, if you want to allow users to register for a mailing list or to keep records for any purpose, you're going to require a database driven site. The type of database that the site uses will very much depend on the amount of traffic that you can expect. A MS Access database can be used for sites with low level use. Access can only support up to 64 simultaneous connections. The more powerful MySQL and MS SQL databases are recommended for sites with heavy traffic. When planning a web site do your research first and discuss your requirements with several companies. Make a note of similar sites and decide on the features that you would like.

| The prettiest sites on the web aren't necessarily the most successful. The most important factor after clarity and good content is ensuring that your site can be found near the top of search engine listings on certain keywords. We include and advise on keywords and ensure that your site is optimised for these keywords to bring you good results. There are plenty of sites on the web paying for 'pay per click' advertising with search engines to compensate for not appearing in searches. 'Pay per click' is fine for high value items but can be expensive for small businesses. Many a web site business has gone to the wall because of poorly thought out business concepts and a lack of marketing of the site. It doesn't matter how pretty the site is if it's hardly ever seen and fails to promote your goods or services.
