Website programming

Websites can be built that allow customer, user and product information to be stored and dynamically formatted per page view. This is how websites like ebay and facebook work. They use a database to store information in and then the web pages of the site are mini programs that retrieve and format the pages according to the users input request, such as searching for a product.

How much does it cost?

Programming service charges are dependant on the kind of work to be done and how long it will take. The average website with some product listings, online payments and some general information pages can be made for around $200 to $800 dollars depending on the quantity and complexity of the website.

How to plan your website...

Before proceeding with getting someone to make a website for your business or service, you must consider what you want your website to say to people who view it. Divide up the main areas of information into web pages and then document it. Looking at websites that appeal to you or your target audience will help in this department. Once you have the content of your site created it is time to involve some programming skills to make it happen. For example, like contacting PacificV and getting a cost estimate.

What technology to use...

For the average small website that must have a few product listings and present some information, PHP is the recommended option because it is easy to use, there is a large number of people who know how to work with it, and it is portable between different servers. Using PHP for relatively simple dynamic websites will help to reduce your costs and implicit complexity overall.
