While HTML, XHTML, JavaScript, CSS and the like are great technologies for page design and layout, the demands of online catalogs, e-commerce, mailing lists, visitor tracking, updatable websites with control panels, site search, etc., require more robust programming.
Chicago Creative Design specializes in open-source, Perl/PHP/Linux programming for the Apache server. We are also well versed in Active Server Pages Programming for the Microsoft Windows Server.
When The Gallery Cabaret in Chicago approached us, they wanted a website that would offer dynamic schedule information, framed within a well designed, interactive media website. After a brief Flash intorduction, users are presented with a home page that displays:
Drink special tonite? No problem. The daily special is on the home page, or take the link to specials that presents the weekly specials schedule.
If you are planning for a date later in the current month, the bands page displays a full entertainment schedule for the current month.
This was all accomplished using a well designed database and Active Server Pages.
This client also uses an opt-in email newsletter that goes out one to three times per month, each time reminding subscribers that the Gallery Cabaret is an available entertainment option.
Chicago Creative Design also provides this client with on-going marketing and public relations support. The owner reports that after two years since the website inception, they are attracting new and more recognized acts, they get more free listings from the press than ever before, and business, overall, has increased substantially. Visit The Gallery Cabaret. It's about more than just "bells and whistles", it's about building relationships with the public and your potential customers.
