Content Management System: Web Content Management Systems (CMS)A CMS is a system that gives the "non-technical"
user the ability to manage and maintain the company website without any
web coding knowledge. In general, these systems are accessible from
anywhere using only a web browser they all use a (WYSIWYG) editor
interface, similar to a text editor like Microsoft Word in its
appearance and functions.
The CMS system
allows a registered user to log in to their website with a web browser
like Internet Explorer, or Firefox to create content, make changes and
perform updates. These updates and changes can be done in real time on
your live website whenever there is the need, and as many times as you
please while the site is active or online. Every one of our hosting
packages comes pre-installed and configured, all you need is the "content"
and of course any graphical changes can be performed by us for a small
fee depending on complexity, or you can edit the template graphics
yourself and have us install them to the server for free.
E-commerce Website:
E-commerce Website Design and Development (Online Stores)
When
talking about online stores we use the term 'E-commerce Website'. It
extends your presence on the web to a global market with support for
real time transactions. With an online store it means your business is
open for potential clients 24-7 at a minimal cost. We only use one
e-commerce solution for our hosting customers. This "cart" solution is
one of the most popular applications on the internet today called Virtue-Mart.
This very advanced web-store is more dedicated to providing a real
online shop with a powerful management system for your customers,
products, inventory, and much more.
Available services within some of our e-commerce packages include, but are not limited too...
- AJAX live product search.
- Custom navigation layout and menus.
- Online inventory capabilities.
Calibrated
Hosting has the ability to customize and provide your business with an
e-commerce enabled website. We ensure that every part of your site is
tailored to your specific needs, within the confines of the software.
By adding these types of functions to your e-commerce website, you can
make your site work harder for your business.
 First thing we do is make a consultation ( free of charge)
wherein we make sure to get all relevant info about your company needs.
We listen to your questions and visions and based on that we'll make a
formal proposal. You will then be asked to deliver relevant
textual and image content for our team to use while creating the layout
of the website. Milestones will be scheduled to insure submission of
delivery for each phase by Calibrated Web Hosting Services. Technical
issues and other procedures will also be taken care of at this stage. At
this stage, Calibrated Web Hosting Services will also analyze the
amount of clicks to direct the user to the proper page with the content
they're looking for. A production site will be created for the client
to view work in progress, designs, etc. This production area will be
accessible on the Web at private URL provided by our team. After
discussing the requirements of the new site and the message it needs to
display, we start the project by creating the art direction of your
website, as in samples representing how the main pages of the site will
be displayed. Once they've been approved, we'll move on to the
production stage.
By understanding the project, its goals and
the target audience, Calibrated Web Hosting Services will develop a
design concept that will include your corporate identity, color
palette, graphic elements, and navigation.
A sample layout
direction for the website will be created based on the feedback
provided. The final design presentation will include a sample
home/front page, and a secondary sub page/typical information page.
The
design of graphics, buttons, fonts, icons, Flash elements and logos
will be set at this stage. Calibrated Web Hosting Services will look in
to typefaces, logo usage and a website color palette will be set to the
website.
The
sample layout is now converted in to code, such as HTML, XHTML, CSS,
PHP etc and the completed site frame becomes code. Any special features
such as databases, Flash animations and other functionalities will be
integrated at this stage. If your website requires constant updating,
content management systems are implemented that allow administrators to
add new content without knowledge of coding.
We monitor the
functionality of the website, admin systems, logins, registration,
cookies and secure password problems. At this stage, Web administration
tools and menus are developed. Forms used throughout the site will be
created.
The goal at this stage is to create an Internet
presence with system features. A demo version of the website will be
available at the private URL provided by Calibrated Web Hosting
Services showing the web page front and secondary pages.
We
test all applications for cross-browser compatibility in this last
stage of production. To make things simpler, we make sure your website
works on different platforms as well as all of the prevalent versions
of different browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla and Netscape.
Once testing is complete, we launch the website.The
page title, description and keyword settings are generated at this
time. By setting these values we help your website to get better
ranking on search engines, such as Google and Yahoo etc.Calibrated Web Hosting Services will make a careful examination and test the website under different browsers and platforms.We
guarantee functionality from standard of 4.0 or greater browsers. This
ensures that your site contains the essential technologies and is
accessible to a large audience.When
the site has been approved, we'll move all the files up on the web
server and the website is launched. Final sign-off on the site is
performed and marketing begins.
