Websites

The web is a constantly evolving phenomenon, and a good website should aim to take advantage of the available technologies. Websites today are also becoming more dynamic and interactive, which can provide a wide scope for tailoring a site to it's intended audience.

The Design Process, Starfish Software style

The website design process begins with a prototype design that is put together fairly quickly. This enables a flow of ideas between the client and the website designer. Once a general 'angle' has been established a temporary site is created where the client can view progress at any stage. The site is then built up in the temporary location where the client is free to comment on or provide direction for further development.

A new feature of the design process is a comment box at the base of each page where the client can leave comments or suggestions. This provides a convenient means by which the client can provide feedback while in full view of the site. Furthermore, a record is kept of changes requested and actions taken.

Content Management

There are various ways in which content can be managed, ranging from a complete development package where the client builds their own website to a professionally designed site where the client has easy access to modify the content they need.

With Starfish Software you have the option of specifying which content you would like to be able to maintain, thus giving you the benefits of both a professionally designed site and the ability to update it whenever you want.

Content Managed elements can include:
- News/Headlines/Announcements
- Photo Gallery
- Positions Vacant
- Lists (eg. pricelist, menu, procedures, etc)

...or just about any other purpose you can think of where the format of the data remains the same yet the content changes.

E-Commerce
