There are several skill sets necessary for superior website development.
These skill sets include:
- HTML – Hypertext Markup Language is the code that tells your computer’s browser how to display the text and
graphics of a webpage on the screen. There are several What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) website development
software packages, such as Adobe’s Dreamweaver, available. These are good programs, but I have found that it’s best to write html without the assistance of a WYSIWYG program.
because
it makes clean uncluttered web pages and have those pages do things that are otherwise
unavailable to a WYSIWYG tool, a developer needs a strong grasp of HTML. H Chandler Enterprises has that strong grasp of HTML.
- Copy Writing – The written text of a website is incredibly important. The objective of a website after all is communication.
To communicate with your customers via a web site the text must be well written. The site may be well designed with stunning
graphics and state of the art coding but if the text is poorly written it is all for not. H Chandler Enterprises will tell your story
with clear and concise language.
- Graphic Design – Equally important to written content are the graphics. Simply said, a quality website has to look good. The photos, drawings, colors,
fonts, must be visually pleasing. If one picture is worth a thousand words then make your site say, "Look at me", while not being confusing or distracting
while enhancing your written messages. H Chandler Enterprises graphic designs will make your site both visually appealing while telling your story.
- Database Development – A database running in the background is the key to an interactive and dynamic website. H Chandler Enterprises will
develop an MS Access, or MS SQL database to make your site truly dynamic.
- Programming and Scripts – A database driven site needs a high degree of programming to work. How and when to display page elements, page security, database
connections, and controlling a substantial number of ways a page is done using
programming and scripts. H Chandler Enterprises uses Microsoft’s ASP.Net and
Visual Basic to control pages at the web server and Sun’s Javascript to control user interaction directly on the page and will use these technologies to make your site
dynamic using these state of the art technologies.
Website design and development notes:
This page uses User Controls and an ASP Menu to make the page. A server side program makes the page display the User Control that is represented by the menu command.
