If you have an application or an Access database we can turn this into an online application which means that more than one person can work on it at any one time, and there is no need for expensive Microsoft Access licence's. Any machine with a web browser can access/amend the database, whether it is in the office or at any remote location. With the benefit of security you can be sure that only authorised users can access and amend your data. It can also allow your clients, if necessary, to view real-time data such as stock without having full access to the system.

The major advantages of database driven, dynamic web sites are that they allow users to select and display the exact information they choose. They support complex searches and allow content creators who don’t know anything about HTML to publish information. Most importantly they are easy to update, and the content of the site is easier to manage overall.
The major drawbacks are the initial development costs due to the complex programming required. However, you can expect to save on site maintenance and upgrade costs in the future with a static web site.

For large sites with many content creators, rapidly-changing content, and increasingly demanding web audiences, static HTML is no longer an option. Dynamically generated sites, driven from a database at the ‘backend’, offer unequalled consistency, speed and cost efficiency.

A database driven web- site is necessary if you want to:
	Display a searchable catalogue of products
	Create a shopping cart to securely sell your products
	Have the ability to update your data through your web browser with a secure username & password
	Create bulletin boards or notice boards so that your clients can leave messages or discuss various topics
	Share an existing offline database with other users and remote users
	Save costs on user/software licences
	Easily update the database’s functions to be more bespoke
	Updates to the database’s functions can be done at source and updates to the database software do not have to be rolled-out
