Programming Services

A script is a program that accomplishes a task. In effect, it's a series of commands given to the computer telling it how to manipulate pieces of data. Scripts are available or can be modified or created to accomplish almost any task imagineable!

• provide a user feature (example: a guestbook)
• automate a business owner's work (example: automatically send an email confirmation for an order instead of having to retype all the info manually)
• reduce website maintenance (example : inventory control in a shopping cart that will automatically remove sold out items)
• collect and disseminate information (example: turn a form into an email or keep statistics about visitors)
• embellish a website (example: scrolling messages or dancing mini graphics)

Searching for a script

When you have decided that you wish to add a script to your website, then comes the job of selecting one. With all the choices available, there are many factors to consider. We've collected a bunch of sources together for your reference. You may find it useful to keep a checklist for comparison as you browse around looking for the one program that best suits your needs. Don't forget to jot down or bookmark where you found each script.

• Does your current hosting pkg support this script?
• Can you install it yourself or will you need help?
• Does it have all of your "must-have" feature(s)?
• Does it also have many of your "wish-list" features?
• If it's not quite right, does the license allow for modifications?
• Is the look and feel easy to change to blend with the design of your site?
• Does the cost fit into your budget? (Script, installation, modifications, upgrades)
• Is it a stable release? (Development or early release = more frequent upgrades)
• Are the authors known to respond quickly to bug reports and security issues?

Services Offered

We can provide troubleshooting, installation, modification and custom routine creation. Our hosting customers benefit from discounted rates and priority queuing of their requests. If you have a project in mind, please contact us to discuss availability.
 

Server-Side Installation

We are open to the possibility of installing (at your cost) scripts that require server-side installation rather than under an individual user's account. Not all requests will be approved, and any installation may be reversed at any time at our discretion if we find it is too intensive on system resources. We may offer special lower installation cost if we feel the script may be of use to other customers.
