about us

our web design philosophy

softcoded believes that a web site should be easy to keep up-to-date and easy to alter. Business needs on the web change regularly and so should a web site if it is to be an effective internet business tool.

effective web site design examples

For instance, suppose you run a music school and want the home page to always display the start-date for the next session. This can be done by using a database and effective web design techniques. If all the session start-dates for the year are stored in a database, the home page can be kept current for the entire year without further user intervention. Each time the web page is opened, a simple query selects the date closest to but greater than the current date.

sustainable web design

A sustainable site is one that lends itself to easy web design changes. This is done by separating the presentation from the content of a web site. It is for this reason that we strongly recommend that our clients incorporate a database into their web site design.
