I build online applications which often happen to be websites. What does that mean? A website often starts as a simple brochure. It might be no more than an extended version of a business card. Such sites rarely do much good in the long term. They may provide a little customer traffic and can sometimes help existing customers find your phone number or directions to find you. A simple brochure is not an application. Many brochure sites fail to earn as much as they cost.

An application does something more. For example, it might be

  • a CMS that allows you to maintain prices, add blogging, special offers and other materials to your site on a regular basis just as easily as you might send an email,
  • it might be a billing system that allows you to automatically send email invoices to customers that they can easily pay online,
  • it could be a comprehensive system for managing customer bookings or other business functions you provide.

A website with built in applications like this can be up and running for as little as $500. Not a static brochure website but one that you can easily extend and maintain yourself.

From there, its up to you, your customers and perhaps your staff. The site could include facilities for managing bookings, running events, selling products, paying for courses... Here are a few examples of sites that I've worked on.

Blinds and Curtains
Bob Millar
Faster Pasture
Horse Herbs
Natural Pet Products
PKS Global
Samford Copy
Samford Copy Online
Samford State School		 These sites give an example of the entry level professional look and feel. The sites are built on Joomla allowing their owners to easily add to or change the menus and the content of their site using nothing but their web browser and their username and password - all without having to call on a graphic designer or programmer (although I'm always available to help in the unlikely event that you get stuck).

You can have a site like one of these for as little as $500 within a few days. Just email or call me now!
Evanidus The Evanidus site is the tip of the iceberg. I've designed and implemented systems running across a network of servers for them that implement a unique book distribution and reading process that is currently undergoing trials with major publishers.

Scraping

 Website scraping is the process of extracting useful data, usually in the form of spreadsheets or databases, from websites. The information is publicly available. Scraping comes into play when it would take too long for a person to write down things like product prices or other details and when the information changes frequently. There are many companies offering website scraping and most price comparison sites depend on scraping for their services. I provide automated scraping which takes the load off your servers and automatically supplies the results of scrapes run at intervals you specify in whatever format is needed. I can take and refine existing scrapers or produce new ones as necessary.

Alito Pty Ltd In addition to their accounting services, Alito operate a business diagnostic survey service that allows business advisors to create surveys and generate detailed reports based upon the survey results.
