Dynamic Sites, Database Functionality and Custom
Programming
Building "Intelligent" sites.
What happens when you need your site to "do things"?. in many
cases the project in hand requires the site to interact with the visitor
and make calculations and or decisions based on those interactions. That
is the scenario of the most advanced websites in which broad programming
experience is needed, particularly in e-commerce.
Many of the websites that you visit are "static", in other
words the files that make up the site do not change, but what about when
you need your site to present different content depending on the interaction
with the visitor? Let us give you an example. In this project we developed
a multi step signup process for a health provider organization. The information
presented at each stage depended on information previously gathered until
all the data required was filled out. Frequesntly this information is
stored in databases which allow quick and precise manipulation.
