Web Site addons

We can add many features to your site, such as online forums, online stores, photo galleries, etc. A number of other companies offer similar products. If you don’t want to use ours, and you have a support contract with us, we can usually procure them for you and install and maintain them on your web site. If you already have one of these software packages, we can usually install it and link it into your web site.

This ensures that your software is always up to date and avoids having to learn how to use FTP programs, web site control panels, etc nor worry about how to make sure everything works together as it should.

We can add many features to your site, such as online forums, online stores, photo galleries, SQL databases, guest books, etc. We ensure everything works together as it should.
