MediaWave is more than just a website design company. In today's marketplace, websites must compete for the attention of a more sophisticated Internet user. To do so, they must offer compelling content that is easily accessible by the individuals they target. As a result, effective website development supersedes mere HTML scripting, to include a host of other critical elements such as graphical design, navigation structure, content development, and marketing. MediaWave offers a full range of Internet solutions including website development and design, website hosting, Internet marketing, content development, and e-business start-up consulting. MediaWave is staffed by a diverse group of professionals in all relevant fields including business management, marketing, programming, and graphic design.

The development of an effective website is the cornerstone of your Internet presence. An effective website offers Internet surfers a balance between visual appeal, informative content, user-friendly functionality, and of course, fast page loading. The potential of your website is only limited by your imagination and your budget. If you can think of it, we can build it. MediaWave provides website development and design solutions that are focused on providing you the most functionality and value for your dollar. Generally speaking, websites can be classified as being either static or dynamic. Static websites are usually written primarily in only HTML (HyperText Markup Language), and require the use of an HTML editor, or the contracting of a website design firm for updates and changes. Dynamic websites use programming languages to integrate your website with a database that stores live data that can be used to build your individual webpages. Dynamic websites provide both the flexibility required to add additional content in the future, and to update current data to reflect necessary changes without the need to call upon your website design firm for assistance. All of this data can be managed through a web-based, password-protected website manager, where information can be viewed, added, or edited in plain text format. Dynamic sites are "self-service," meaning that they can be edited without the need of any programming knowledge. Essentially, you are able to "cut-and-paste" information from your familiar word processor (or other program) into the manager, and add supporting pictures, charts, or files (.jpg, .gif, .pdf, .doc, etc.), where applicable. Upon submission of the data, the website is immediately updated to reflect the changes. The implementation of a dynamic website reduces reliance on subcontracting for site updates and improves the timeliness of the updating process. In reality, most successful websites include both static and dynamic elements. MediaWave programs dynamic applications in Professional Hypertext Pre-Processor (PHP), which has recently surpassed Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) in usage for dynamic web applications. The popularity of PHP is due in large part to its integration capabilities with open-source database programs such as MySQL, and powerful enterprise-level database applications such as Oracle 8i/9i. The following are examples of website features that are typically dynamically programmed:
