Portfolio

Star Data Solutions takes the time to determine the exact needs of each client, not the implementation of cookie cutter services. Each project is treated as a separate entity, unique in all aspects.

Database Driven Websites

Database driven administration gives the client flexibility to make changes at any time – all without having to rely on a developer or knowing HTML programming. Dynamic pages make it easier to access and archive information. By using password-protected, content management tools, clients are able to easily update the Web site’s content.

Flash Design

Flash animations are great for catching visitor’s attention and keeping them on the page. Because it is much smaller and faster loading than the equivalent animated GIF, Flash animations can produce much higher quality effects. Using vector-based graphics, Flash animations appear in the proper size for a viewer's screen. Thus, sites can be displayed uniformly on PCs with different sized screens.

Ecommerce

The convenience of credit cards, their ability to satisfy instant gratification, and their ability to provide the convenience of shopping from home, have led credit cards to become the most popular method of making online purchases. Many options are available for accepting credit cards.  Choosing which option depends on the client’s needs.

Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a specialized process that involves analyzing a website's underlying code, architecture, visible content, and link popularity. No one can guarantee a number one position on a search engine.  However, making enhancements can increase the prominence in the search results.  The process is by no means easy.  It requires a great amount of strategy, time and patience.
