September 24, 2004 - (PromotionWorld) - As part of their commitment to continuing education, the design team at Harbor Springs Web Design has recently completed hands-on training for PHP and MySQL, allowing the team to offer an expanded menu of services for businesses and non-profit organizations.
"With PHP and MySQL, we can help businesses build a dynamic web site using today's Internet technology," stated Cynthia Dickson, partner with Harbor Springs Web Design.
The team's focus is on building database-driven web sites for businesses that are user-friendly. The design allows web site visitors to view and purchase products online, search and sort the information on a site and receive personalized information of their choosing.
"Using database technology on a web site enhances interactivity on the part of the visitor and it allows them to sort out only the information they need or the products they are looking for," Dickson continued.
Features using database technology include online product catalogs, message boards, E-commerce & online shopping, mailing list opt-ins and online scheduling.
"Local retailers now have an affordable solution for selling online so they can broaden their sales market", said Marcie Szczubelek, partner with Harbor Springs Web Design. "We design a web site and shopping cart that is unique to each merchant which they can then update easily while maintaining a professional look to the site."
Harbor Springs Web Design has a unique pricing structure for their services. All projects are priced as a package, not by the hour, so the business knows up front how much they will be paying for their project and an easy payment plan helps keep costs more manageable. Search engine submission services are also included in the package price of every new design project.
"We're in an industry that changes constantly so ongoing education is a requirement to be successful," added Szczubelek. "With the training we've completed this year alone, we are confident that we can continue to offer web design services that will meet today's standards for technology and search engine optimization."
