Content Management Systems (CMS)
It is possible to combine the best of both worlds and have a bespoke website template built for you that will work with established technologies. This is the approach professional website design company Digital Visual often chooses. Code and technology can be reused to save time and ultimately development cost, which results in quality world class features in an affordable package.
A professional web designer won't try and reinvent the wheel for you, and are best placed to advise whether there may be a system that would work best for you. Many established web designers have built up a base of code or their own CMS.
We have our own modules and admin tools and have worked with almost every widely available Content Management System.
For our clients we now use our in house system a secure industry leading enterprise system developed with Adobe server technology. This means that we can also combine your website with email marketing and customer relationship management tools. Hosting on specialised servers also means better security, better reliability and less for you to worry about.
Security Uptime and Reliability - the Cloud Approach
This is the future of how we will deal with data across the internet. Rather than one server that can break, or be broken into, fully managed systems are spit across multiple machines in a managed environment.
- Hosting in the cloud on a code base and data centre supported by the largest software company in the world means you can be confident of future support. Rest assured we intend to be around in 10 years time, but if the worst should happen you are fully supported. If you partner with a web firm not offering this service you may have to have your site rebuilt, or worse still, your site may go down and you may not have any possibility of retrieving it.
- Security is guaranteed when hosting with us in the cloud as our shops use a common code base that is kept up to date and hacker free. No need to pay for expensive designers to upgrade your site when a new patch or version of your 'free' ecommerce software comes out.
