Web Programming

HTML - HyperText Markup Language  HTML Coding

HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the medium in which we create the web site. Within the confines of this language, we incorporate other language codes to develop the web page. The careful writing of the web page code will determine how your visitor will view the web page. We will integrate those language codes, which will display properly on the majority of web browser in use today, and advise you on the limitations of newer and unproven language codes.

Internet industry surveys, as well as our own server reports, show that Fifty-two percent of online browsers are Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later, Forty-three percent are Netscape Communicator 4.0 or later. We design web sites to take maximum advantage of these web browsers, and work around the individual limitations of each version.

CGI Script CGI Script Applications

Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Script Applications are an interactive program to collect and exchange information between your visitor and your web server. The information is voluntary in nature, as the visitor must enter data into pre-formatted forms. These forms can be self-testing for correct formatting of URLs, E-Mail addresses, and blank fields where entry is required to process the form.

CGI Scripts can be set to send you the information to your e-mail inbox. Save the information in a file on your server, redirect the visitor to a special "Thank You Page" after pressing the "Submit Button", and redirect again to your home page. A copy of the form can be sent to your visitors e-mail box.

One of the most frequent uses for CGI Script is to provide the visitor with a means of communicating with you in a pre-formatted form. All the information you will require in order to respond to your visitor can be requested in the form. In addition, you can have a "Comments" text box for detailed descriptions by your visitor.

The advantage of CGI Scripts over the e-mail link is that you can have the form customized to your specialty thereby requesting from your visitor specific information to aid you in complying with your visitors' request. Another major advantage of the CGI form is that your business e-mail address will not appear on your web site for harvesting by the Bulk E-Mail advertisers and Multi Level Marketers.
