Our advice:
It is always best to be informed about the true facts before venturing into any project. Below are some key issues that are worth responding to accomplish your project with maximum satifaction:
1. What is the purpose of the website?
Simply expose my company's references and be easily found in a search on the internet? Description of services or product? demonstrate a product catalog or portfolio. Sales of products? Create an online store?
2. Who is the intended public, who are the customers?
Professionals in the same industry? Anyone?
3. What type of website will have the best impact and effectiveness for your company?
The first thing is to prepare your site for SEO (search engines or search systems). When you go on Google, Yahoo or other search engine and you put a word to search for information, you need your site to have that word in the description of your site. Proper Metadata is a set of keywords and descriptions that are essential in directing searches to your site. Depending on the type of site or who created it, these keywords may not be present and you can lose the effectiveness of your site. A site done in Flash for example does not provide access to its contents and thus loses all information that are on their pages. The information is trapped inside the Flash application and is not available to robot crawl. 4.What Type of site: Depends on its purpose and what the funtional intent. If you have a few things, a page or two and you do not need to disclose to all, Flash offers beautiful animations, but it is already being pushed aside by html5. If you have enough new material and will regularly publish articles to a website then CMS (content management system) is ideal. (eg a tourist gateway, news, business portal, blog). Joomla works great for this type of sites. If you need to promote products in a catalog and / or offer an online store system, then Magento is ideal.
The most advanced systems we use, reliable and cost are:
Joomla: CMS Content Management system
Magento: Online store
VirtueMart: Catalogues and Online store
