Pet care begins at home... Having dreamt of running a small local business providing pet care at home our client engaged us to work with them to develop and promote their business idea. Having agreed a company name, logo and slogan the new business was online within five days.

Two months on and the small local business has a growing customer base who regularly visit the Petalone website. As new customers use the service they pass details to their friends and neighbours who by way of the website have access to the services, pricing, gallery and customer weblog where they can read some of the comments left by members of its client base.

Leading Supplier of Veterinary Instruments.. StarbroVet a leading UK supplier of high quality veterinary surgical instruments is one of the latest weBalyzer clients.

Prior to its positioning on the web StarbroVet did most of its sales and marketing through mail shots and advertising. Because its potential cutomer base was spread throughout the UK this was costly and difficult to maintain when new products and prices were introduced.

Setting up a good "hobby" website aimed at providing information only (no commerce or advertising, completely non-commercial) is sometimes not as simple as you would think. If you want an appealing website for your visitors and one that will continually attract them back significant time is required working on the content, and on its organization.

Hobbies can sometimes become successful businesses. Using your initial informational hobby site as the starting point we can later develop it into a small product sales website. As your sales grow we can work with you to enhance and develop your site into something that will always support your customer base. This is a very cost effective way of moving your hobby into a web based eCommerce solution.

If you want to provide content and feedback facilities (weblog) together with the ability to display or upload images, or if you want to move to a small web based business there are requirements to understand a number of different programs and web services to get a seamless working website:

Site creation software. The entire site needs to be coded in html/css/javascript, and will be entirely static (no database access, no server-side programming).

Additional services can be added but require knowledge of PHP, MySQL, CGI, Perl etc. Using these together with html/css/javascript more dynamic sites offering news and information services together with user feedback can be created.

Once a site has been built it needs to be hosted somewhere. Finding a suitable hosting company is dependant on the site type and its application requirements. Some hosting companies offer basic webspace and support html/cgi/css and javascript. Some however will not provide support for the services needed to provide the dynamic content e.g. PHP, MySQL etc.

Most people like to have a memorable web address for their site. Finding an unused unique name and then registering it is also another part of the process required to get a functional website up and running. Pointing the name to the correct server and being able to update easily if its location changes also needs consideration.

Site backup service for static sites are required to re build in the event of a system failure. Dynamic content needs to be incrementally backed up every night.

All of this is in addition to understanding HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL to write the pages themselves, plus understanding products like PhotoShop to prepare all the photos makes building a good website almost impossible for most web users.

Using a company like webAlyzer to help you through this process will enable you to concentrate on the things that are most important to you. Working with us we will develop a site that meets your requirements. We will help you through the whole process and get your website up and running in the shortest possible time and at a reasonable cost.
