Web System Design

What's a Web System?

As we define it, a Web System differs from a Web Site by having a level of administration built into it. A web site is typically more static in nature and often a one-way communication venue.  A "web system" is more dynamic, providing content management to site "owners" or "administrators".  These sites may or may not be connected (integrated) with other web sites, applications or  processes.

A Web System allows authenticated users (administrators) to interact with a web site's content and/or database through simple browser-based web forms. This password protected functionality enables a site owner to make changes in convenient and timely ways. The benefits of a Web System over a static Web Site are significant:

- Administrator needs no programming knowledge to make changes, eliminating the need for skilled programmers to make content changes.

- Changes can be made from any computer with an Internet connection. In addition to convenience, this eliminates the need to maintain web development software.

- Changes are published instantaneously. Obsolete information self-regulates instead of growing stale awaiting for someone to update it.

A Web System can be developed for Internet, Intranet or Extranet. Web Systems can be accessed via LAN, WWW, Remote Desktop or VPN.
