For Example, an eccommerce site would generally use a database
of products to "drive" the pages on the online shop, and
tell the customer what is available for purchase. Also, using this
type of system can help the user to administer their site without
having any website creation knowledge.
For example, on some sites I have created (Eternity
Flowers) the owner of the site can add new categories for his
shop, birthdays, christmas etc, then add or remove items under each
of the created categories. Then once he has added a product, the
price, description, pictures etc etc can be altered by himself.
The system then goes on further to allow him to give out discount
codes which reduce the price, and also includes a postage/weight
system so only certain products can be posted with other products.
This gives the owner total control without having to keep coming
back to me for changes.
As well as shopping systems, my development knowledge has taught
me to fully integrate with Flash, produce chat rooms, messageboards,
and also a photo gallery based system/uploader.
| SPECIALISED DEVELOPMENT SKILLS |
| PERL/CGI
- Primarily my strongest skill in web programming, is the perl
language, this is one of the cheapest languages to host, running
on almost any server, and is quick and easy to update. |
| MYSQL
/ SQL / ACCESS - My experience with database driven sites,
has led me to learn 3 types of datastore, SQL, ACCESS, and the
most popular at the moment, is MYSQL, which is one of the easiest
to administer and work with for most moderate sites. |
| COLDFUSION
/ PHP - A have worked briefly with both of these languages,
and am now able to make small changes to sites, I especially
would like to learn more about PHP coding too. |

| EXAMPLE SCREENS |
|
Press Release Admin
A simple form based layout for editing all
news articles with pictures on your own site.

| 
Gallery Administration
Here you can see an example of how on the
SussexPhotos site, its simple to add a new gallery to the
system, by simply entering the details and ticking the categories
you would like it to appear under.

RECOMMENDED SOLUTION:
At present I find the easiest solution
to create a database driven site, is to use a combination of PERL
& MySQL. |
