Database Creation and Design

One of Ecosse Online's unique and valuable features, is our inclusion of database(s) in all our website hosting packages, and at no additional cost. Database driven website pages (also referred to as Dynamic website pages) allow some businesses to operate more efficiently and simply, thus saving the administrative team (you), countless hours, effort, and therefore money.

A database driven site is necessary if you want to:

• Display a searchable catalogue of products.
• Create a shopping cart to securely sell your products.
• Create bulletin boards or classified ads
• Have the ability to update your data easily through your web browser.
• Interact with your customers and generate mail lists for marketing.
• Provide comprehensive customer support

We can build a password protected database that allows only you (the administrator/website owner) to access your database, with any web browser from anywhere in the world, and change information by clicking and typing on a website form. This lets you update information whenever you want without the expense of paying us (web designers), because it’s easy and you don’t have to know anything about programming or HTML. Price increases, changes to numerous pages, can all be accomplished DYNAMICALLY or automatically by completing inbuilt forms that interact with your database. This same database allows everyone else (your web customers) to search through your database for products, items, property listings, prices, or any search option significant to your business.

Virtually every business website is enhanced by a database driven email system. When a customer contacts you by email, a database is created, including his question or interest and email address; automatically capturing vital customer information that otherwise would be lost.

This database quickly provides you with a customer list for future email promotions or contact, and becomes a powerful marketing tool.

We include this feature in every website we design. In fact, if your website was not designed by Ecosse Online, and doesn't already include this proven asset; we will include a database driven customer contact form in your website, on the house, when you become one of our Hosting clients.
