Where other web companies kick off their client relations with multimedia-this and eCommerce-that, we regard our most important skill to be understanding your business and working out where the web can extend and enhance it.

Yes, we'll bring a broad range of leading technologies to the party (see below), but only when we have made an assessment of what's appropriate for your business.

HomePage's key skills include:

eCommerce HomePage has extensive experience with online processing of transactions, order processing, payment gateways, dispatch and delivery systems, and all the paraphernalia of eCommerce. We're obsessive when it comes to security, we've assessed and operated with a variety of banking systems and credit-card providers, and we are ready to hit the ground running if you need to expand your current sales operation onto the web, whether for a handful of products or a 20,000-line catalogue.

Database Integration Most of the sites that we build have a substantial database presence, and we find most of our clients benefit from marrying their core database content (such as stock inventories) with an online database that allows web site visitors to search for information based on the latest data. Our technical team is able to unite a wide variety of database technologies, including Access, SQL Server and Oracle.

Persuasive Multimedia Assuming that the "multimedia" buzzword means "more than text and graphics", HomePage can produce highly interactive site content using audio, streaming video, games, puzzles, and other elements that will give your site the extra "edge" you might need. It's not for everybody - in fact we're reticent about recommending it where we think it may backfire - but nevertheless if that's what you have in mind, then we have the relevant skills, experience and server technologies. More specifically, we're one of the few companies in the UK able to generate Macromedia Flash content based on live data and database fields, integrated using Macromedia Generator and leading to a far more customised multimedia experience for individual users.

Interface Design We've been building web sites since 1995 - "the Stone Age" - and in that period we've racked up more than 150 site designs and, more importantly, have a thorough grounding in what "works" in interface design. All of our designs are routinely tested in-house to ensure compatibility with current platforms and browsers, and we always prioritise sensible navigation and site colouring so that site visitors will be able to find what they need, and understand what they find.

Membership Management A common requirement in our projects is for part or all of a site to have restricted access, so that only authorised visitors can get beyond the front door. We have developed many and diverse ways of implementing locks on specific pages or complete sites, so if your project involves sensitive content that you may need to restrict, then we will be able to build an appropriately secure environment.

The list above is only a sample of the kind of work and technologies that we deal with. The bottom line is: if it can be done on the web, then it can be done by HomePage. So if you have a web-based project in mind, why not get a free assessment of how we might approach it?
