We have many years of programming experience and offer solutions using several different technologies.

WebSite Design:

Step 1 - Domain Name Registration You select one or more proposed domain names such as Amazon.com or Buy.com. Your domain name must not be used by anyone else, and shorter is better. When you have decided on several variations (in the event that some are already taken), SumTech will register the name(s).

Step 2 - Website Design Based upon information you supply to us, SumTech will create a custom website that best suits your needs. You supply information such as organizational history, product and service information, organizational skills and abilities, staff history, experience information, staff skills and abilities, and any other information you wish published and advertised. Our website design proposal includes scanning and creation of custom graphics that best identify your organization, as well as using the most advanced technology available to best present your organization to the world. These technologies include audio and video files, flash programming, and online order processing.

Step 3 - Select a Website Host Your website must be “hosted” and served onto the Internet by a professional hosting site with 24/7 reliability and tech support. This means that we upload your new website to a computer known as a “server” where it makes your information available to any web surfer world wide. This service incurs a cost of approximately $5 to $35 per month. The higher monthly costs are incurred only if you require “secure server” features for credit card processing of online orders, or high activity database pages, or if you have very high visitor traffic, that is, more than 5,000 website visitors per month. SumTech will establish your website presence on a reputable host, with your input.

Step 4 - Publish the Website Once a Host has been selected, we will “publish” your new website for accessibility to everyone on the World Wide Web.

Step 5 – Promote your Website Website promotion involves submitting your site address and search words to the top 12 search engines, which are Netscape, Yahoo, Microsoft, Alta Vista, Ask Jeeves, AOL, Excite, Google, Goto, HotBot, Looksmart, and Lycos. These engines represent over 98% of all U.S. web searches. We can create special “headers” on your website that include all the necessary search engine friendly information. Other website promotion you may establish is; placing your web address on all stationery, business cards, and all broadcast and printed advertising media. You can begin as soon as your domain name is registered. (www.adventdigital.net)

Database Administration:

A database consists of a collection of tables that stores a set of structured data. Designing a database requires an understanding of both the business functions you want to model and the database concepts and features used to represent those business functions. Your database should be easy to maintain and must not cause performance bottlenecks. Tables are database objects that contain all the data in a database. A table contains a collection of rows and columns. Each column in the table is designed to store a certain type of data. Each table contains data about only one subject, such as customers. Therefore, you update a particular piece of data, such as an address, in just one place and that change automatically appears throughout the database. Tables can have indexes similar to those in books that allow rows to be found quickly. Each table should contain information about one subject. Your list of fields will provide clues to the tables you need. For example, you might have a table for Customers, a table for Products, and a table for Orders. The results you want from your database don't necessarily provide clues about how you should structure the tables in your database. Before you actually build tables, views, forms, and other objects, it's a good idea to sketch out your database design on paper first.

Gathering information The first step in designing a database is to determine its purpose and how it's to be used. You must have a good understanding of the job the database is expected to perform. As you determine the purpose of your database, a list of information you want from the database will begin to emerge. From that, you can determine what facts you need to store in the database. These facts correspond to the fields (columns) in tables During the process of gathering information, you must identify the key objects or entities that will be managed by the database. The object can be a person or a product, or it can be a business transaction, or a department in a company. There are usually a few primary objects, and after these are identified, the related items become apparent. Those objects correspond to the tables. (http://www.basenow.com)
