Websites development by maweb are built on the foundations of quality, usability, accessibility and adherance to w3c.org standards.

We start with an analysis of the needs of the organization - to ensure that the website reaches the target users and reflects the business. Next, we build the website either to a layout supplied by your graphic designer or develop the entire feel for you in-house. We work with you at every stage of the process to ensure that the website you receive is exactly what you want.

Content Management Systems (CMS):

A CMS is a web-based system that allows users to keep their web pages up-to-date with very little technical knowledge. Anyone who can use a web browser is able, through the CMS, to keep the information on their web pages up-to-date with ease.

The CMS works by separating the technical layout of the page from the underlying HTML code. The user types their text in as plain text, or uploads an image and lets the CMS take care of the coding and formatting, presenting a finished web page to the end user.

The CMS may generate all of a website, or just a few regularly updated pages. We can build the systems to meet your needs. Please contact us if you would like more details on a CMS based website.

To achieve quality results, our websites and systems are developed using core technologies such as:

• Hand-coded: HTML with CSS and JavaScript
• HTML 4
• XHTML
• CSS
• JavaScript
• PHP 4 & 5
• MySQL 3.x, 4, 5
• Ajax & LAMP
