User Updatable Website - Using a bespoke web interface.

Filed under: Software, Web Design — Ian Hulme @ 9:53 am

I have found in my line of work that, from a customers point of view, getting changes done to their websites can be a long process in some cases. Imagine that you would have to email your web designer, who in turn will add it to his queue of jobs, before even getting round to it. This could be a slight change of service, or a change of price.

Now imagine that you could log in to your own online system and change it all yourself…

We can adapt and develop your current website to enable you to change the information, products and services on your site, keeping your site update and relevent to your customers.

Photography being one of my passions, I have been looking into presenting photos in an online photo gallery. As some of you will know, a simple gallery would involve a lot of pages with all the pictures which is time consuming to create and update. (more…)

I tend to use php scripting in my websites alot more these days, which is a server-side HTML embedded scripting language (PHP is executed on the web server, so all the user see’s is the html the programmer wants them to see). (more…)

Symantec Customer Services.

After finding out that the license file had been corrupted for the network managed antivirus, I had to get a new license emailed out from Symantec. Sounds easy?

After being on hold for 30 minutes, I finally got through to Symantec where I had to go through the usual steps of giving the serial numbers and company details. Then we got round to trying to sort the problem.

So another 30 minutes goes by, I go through the steps they said to remove the corrupted license. They then ask me to ring their licensing department to send a new license file. Another 30 minutes later, I’m through to technical help again! Talking to someone new. I explain what I’ve been through to them once and tell them I was told to ring this number and ask for licensing. So, after about 2 hours on the phone (on hold and talking) they said they would get in touch with the licensing department and ask them to email it across. It should arrive Monday.
