Web Design
Whether you need a simples sales brochure, online survey,
or e-commerce application, InterQuest is here to meet your
needs.
We'll help you plan your site before the design process
to ensure your site is doing what it meant to do — meet
your needs, and help drive business.
We'll also ensure that your site meets the need of the
end-user. Unfortunately today, there are many designers
that still don't understand the requirements to build a
Web site properly.
Ever try to print a Web page, only to have it cut off?
Even the largest of corporations sometimes forget to account
for that in the design. Not many visitors take the time
to change the print settings to 'Landscape.'
At Interquest, your Web site will meet technical specifications
including browser use, resolutions, and printing requirements.
Web Application Development
Whether you require a custom built e-commerce solution
with order tracking and inventory management or a simple
site search tool, InterQuest has the skills and understanding
to build an application to your specifications.
Programming languages like Coldfusion and PHP are used
in server side application software to meet any of your
online needs. These languages are used for anything from
dynamic text or image output, to databases, cross-server
communication and payment transactions.
The above programming languages are implemented in combination
with markup languages like HTML & XHTML, and Javascript
(a client based scripting language) in order to build the
application as a whole.
Database Development
Imagine having clients that each have made hundreds of
purchases, and the data for each purchase is stored in
a spreadsheet. And now, you need to make an address change,
which will affect each record.
Changes would have to be made to each line, hundreds of
them! Not only would you need to make many changes, a mistake
could be made to one or more of those lines very easily.
With a database, a program can make this change to one
record.
A database is "a collection of records stored in
a computer in a systematic way, so that a computer program
can consult it to answer questions," as described
by Wikipedia.
InterQuest implements most of its databases using MySQL.
MySQL is robust and is used by firms such as Apple, Google
Adwords and Travelocity. We also implement other databases
such as Access, MS-SQL and PostGres.
Web Hosting
At InterQuest, when you purchase a new Web site, we will
provide hosting (500 MB space and 5 GB transfer monthly,
on Linux) free for one full year.
The one year free hosting is often more than sufficient
for new sites and allows you to save money and aggravation
of having to host it yourself.
Most of our clients are happy with solutions placed on
Linux operating systems such as RedHat and FreeBSD. However,
we gladly can meet your needs on Windows servers, if or
where required.
We deal with several hosting providers. Combined, they
provide both Linux and Windows servers. In most cases,
we can develop a site or application on either server.
