Modular based web development

At iCandy Design we use a modular based approach to website development. This involves utilising ready built components that can be customised and then integrated into a site.

This results in reduced costs and a faster turnaround. Most companies offer either products or software development. Products provide an instant solution but are inflexible and cannot usually be customised to fit your exact business requirements. Software development offers more flexibility but is expensive and involves more time with design, development and testing.

Modular development offers the best of both approaches. A significant percentage of the functionality is already built, the rest is custom developed to meet your specific requirements. We have a number of existing pre-built modules that provide many of the common functions of a website.

Presentation and brand are important for new businesses. But the one off cost of developing Corporate ID can be excessive, especially for small start-ups. That’s why iCandy Design have introduced a range of cost effective Marketing Start-up Packs for new businesses.

CD ROM / DVD
database engine

Product description
An intuitive CD interface for use as a catalogue or database of digital files, i.e. images, PDF’s, Word documents etc.

The interface allows the user to browse the contents of the CD-ROM, or other data format, and preview files (where applicable) adding individual elements to a ‘download list’ before downloading the files into your chosen folder.

Advantages
The database element of the program is universal and can accommodate most forms of digital file formats. The interfaces can be customised in order to align the product with your existing branding. The use of an existing ‘template’ document reduces production costs and makes future updates / productions easy to manage. Being database driven allows future editions to include amendments, if required these can be made to existing content without touching the interface design.

Applications
Possible uses would include; a distribution tool to send information to internal and/or external sources, information could be of any nature i.e. images, text files, audio etc. In fact your only limitations are the amount of data you can fit on your chosen medium (650mb CD-ROM, 4.7gb DVD, etc.).

Secure online access module

No matter whether you need a basic login facility or full-blown secure access with digital certificates, we have a module and the experience to meet your needs.

In today’s age, protecting your pages from those who are considered a threat to your content or company is simplistic in theory. The problem is it requires an in-depth knowledge of the webserver the site is being hosted on and the technologies being utilised. At iCandy Design we have a vast experience in implementing secure areas and addressing the unique challenges they can present.

Data capture module

It is important to collect information from site visitors or customers effectively. Information about your visitors is valuable and has many benefits. As well a simply showing you who visits your site it can be used to collect contact details so that you can target marketing campaigns to potential customers or strengthen existing customer relationships. Web forms have many uses including;

• Surveys
• Competitions
• Site Registration
• Quick method of contact
• Customer Feedback

We are experienced in providing multi-page forms which collect data from website visitors. These offer a logical and step-by-step approach to completing the form. Once the form has been completed a personalised confirmation email can be sent back to the visitor thanking them. Results from each form can then be updated and provide you with real-time results in the form of detailed graphs. This allows you to instantly gauge the results of feedback in great detail.

If you have a global market our web forms can be made into multi-language pages making it easy for all your customers to provide feedback.

Multi-lingual module

At iCandy Design, we understand that communication is fundamental to successful marketing.

If you have customers from different countries speaking a variety of languages, then your website should be available in their languages to fulfill its full marketing potential. Our previous experience developing multi-language websites enables us to quickly and efficiently apply an existing module to your requirements.

We use a XML and XSL framework to incorporate translated text into a website quickly whilst remaining consistent. This also allows layout changes to be made easily across all languages with faster build times since the design is shared across all languages. By using the Unicode character set we can offer full support for virtually every language world-wide.
