Content management using CGI scripts

I have taken an interest in this emerging Web technology from it's early beginnings and built a large number of applications to handle the recording of software test data and customer support when I worked for an international software company.

As it has developed, the technology has become more and more complex, but carefully handled, the new features like animation, Dynamic HTML and Javascript can enhance the appearance of a Web site without detracting from its clarity.

I offer this expertise to Web designers who do not have the time or technical background build complex environments:

  • preparation of HTML
    This is done both manually and using the latest software. As I understand the core technology, I can correct faults introduced by some software and optimise the code for fast loading.

  • advanced features
    cascading Stylesheets to give a Web site consistency and browser-independence, using Javascript and Dynamic HTML to achieve interesting effects such as 'intelligent' forms, drop-down menus etc. and Flash, used sparingly, can give your site a professional look.

  • CGI scripts
    CGI scripts are written in Perl, the programming language of choice for flexibility and power. Among other things that CGI scripts can achieve is the processing of forms, search engines, control of output, setting of cookies and password protection etc.
  • how much?
    Working for myself, I can keep overheads to a minimum, so my charges are likely to be less than the competition. Call me and ask for a free consultation and quotation.
