What Is a Database Driven Website?

A database driven website is one where the content of the various web pages is separated from its technical coded elements and stored in an organized system called a database.

The benefit of such a system is the separation of content from code. With a database driven website, non-technical people can easily update a website by interacting directly with the database via simple online forms. The programming logic behind the scenes takes care of merging the database content with the design of the website.

The result is that the website owner, not the website developer, has direct and immediate control over the content of the website. This dramatically reduces maintenance costs as your in-house staff can manage much of the maintenance of your website.

Our unique development techniques enable us to rapidly produce such database driven websites, thus reducing the cost of producing such sites to levels affordable by even the smallest start-up businesses.

The heart of any sophisticated website is its database. Relational databases such as MySQL provide the means by which your business' information can be stored, organized, and related.

A successful online business will develop and maintain an online database that stores its website content, as well as pertinent information about its customers and business processes. This will enable your staff and customers to interact via the web.

Ender Technology has years of experience developing such databases and integrating them with websites. Although our specialty is working with the MySQL database, we can integrate virtually any database system with the web, even proprietary systems on your local network.

The glue between your database and your web site is a server-side web programming language like PHP. PHP is the industry standard language for dynamic, affordable, and quickly deployed web database applications.

By developing a well-designed database, and interfacing that database will a well-designed web application programmed in PHP, we provide your customers with the interactive features they expect from your online business.
