Our Design Process
The cornerstone of our design process is the strict adherence to object-oriented programming (OOP). OOP simplified is the process of grouping common design elements, making them one object, and calling that object when it is needed. For example, a menu bar found at the bottom of every page of a website could be considered an object. Now suppose that website is composed of 100 pages with that menu bar on the bottom. An object-oriented website would allow for that menu to be changed on all 100 pages by editing that one specific object. A website that was not programmed using OOP would require that all 100 pages be updated manually. Not only does OOP save time and money on updates of this type, it also saves time and money in the development of the website.
We use MySQL as the database management system to store website content. We choose MySQL because it is robust, secure, fast, and reliable. MySQL has gain wide-spread acceptance for mission-critical database applications.
We use PHP for our solutions? scripting language. PHP is regarded as one of the Internet?s fastest and most reliable scripting languages available. It is fully supported, inexpensive to implement, and designed to work with MySQL.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) takes OOP a step further by making the format of data and HTML elements object-oriented. By assigning style classes to certain HTML elements, the style (font, size, color, etc?) can be changed for all elements by changing one variable on the Cascading Style Sheet. |
