Bespoke web development

Business web development

Web development is a broad term used to describe a wide range of services. At Juiced Media we are able to offer anything from advanced Internet applications such as company intranets, customer relations management and content management systems to e-commerce payment solutions and HTML and CSS projects.

Web development vs. web design

So what is the difference between web design and web development? Web design is the creative process of designing a website page and coding the site using the simpler HTML and CSS languages whereas web development utilises advanced programming techniques and languages such as PHP, ASP.NET, Java, Javascript and database structures such as mySQL and SQL to make the site dynamic or add features not possible with HTML and CSS languages.

What does web development mean for your business and your website? In short, intelligent software and advanced websites which are manageable and updated by you including content management (CMS) and ecommerce. Some examples of web development work we have completed for clients are given below.

Example web development work

• Ecommerce solutions - including the product management control panel and integration of a payment gateway such as worldpay or paypal.
  
  
• Content Management Systems (CMS) - allowing the addition, editing and deletion of content to your existing website. This reduces the cost of maintaining your website in the long term, decreasing your reliance on a web developer or web designer to make future amendments and giving you greater control.
  
  
• Forums - allowing website users to post topics and discussions online and communicate with other 'community members' within the forum.
  
  
• Company Blogs - similar to a content management system, but in a more structured sense. A blog allows the addition of 'mini-content' similar to a diary or newspaper article and is often supported by a main website.
  
  
• Company Intranets - Not all websites are meant for the general public. The lightweight programme languages and accessibility of the internet makes it an ideal medium for sharing information across your company. From client information to emails and appointments, a company intranet can greatly increase productivity and communications across your business.

There are many other solutions that can benefit from professional dynamic web development, in fact, the possibilities are almost endless.
