Web Development

Ferotech can work with you and custom design a website based on your needs.  Our portfolio of example websites can be seen here. 

Design

A company's website is a first impression that many visitors see. We take great pride in tailoring a website to a company's image and needs. When building a website from scratch our designers meet with clients and go over the different goals that our clients has for its business. Our websites are then designed around those goals.

• Use Linked Cascading Style Sheets
  Cascading style sheets, also refereed to as CSS, are used to apply the design around a site.  Because all of a site's style information is contained in 1 file it lowers bandwidth to a site, and also makes changes to overall site design done in one place.
• Tables used only when necessary.
  Modifying a site that used tables for design can be time consuming.  With a few exceptions we make use of tables only for displaying data, and online forms. 
• Design Consolidation
• In Asp .Net we make use of Web User Forms to consolidate items that appear on multiple pages.
• in Asp .Net Master pages, Site Maps and Web User Forms are used.
• In Php Smarty templates are used.

Backend

Reporting Solution

SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services

To be successful in today's competitive marketplace, organizations need to extend information beyond the walls of their organization and seamlessly interact with customers, partners, and suppliers in real time. Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services enables organizations to transform valuable enterprise data into shared information for insightful, timely decisions at a lower total cost of ownership.

SQL Server Reporting Services is a comprehensive, server-based solution that enables the creation, management, and delivery of both traditional, paper-oriented reports and interactive, Web-based reports. An integrated part of the Microsoft business intelligence framework, Reporting Services combines the data management capabilities of SQL Server and Microsoft Windows Server with familiar and powerful Microsoft Office System applications to deliver real-time information to support daily operations and drive decisions.

An Integrated Architecture

SQL Server Reporting Services supports a wide range of common data sources, such as OLE DB and Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), as well as multiple output formats such as familiar Web browsers and Microsoft Office System applications. Using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework, developers can leverage the capabilities of their existing information systems and connect to custom data sources, produce additional output formats, and deliver to a variety of devices.

Full Reporting Life Cycle Support

SQL Server Reporting Services supports the full reporting life cycle, including:

• Report authoring. Report developers can create reports to be published to the Report Server using Microsoft or other design tools that use Report Definition Language (RDL), an XML-based industry standard used to define reports.
• Report management. Report definitions, folders, and resources are published and managed as a Web service. Managed reports can be executed either on demand or on a specified schedule, and are cached for consistency and performance. New in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, administrators can use the Management Studio to organize reports and data sources, schedule report execution and delivery, and track reporting history.
• Report delivery. SQL Server Reporting Services supports both on-demand (pull) and event-based (push) delivery of reports. Users can view reports in a Web-based format or in e-mail.
• Report security. SQL Server Reporting Services implements a flexible, role-based security model to protect reports and reporting resources. The product includes extensible interfaces for integrating other security models as well.

Key Reporting Scenarios

SQL Server Reporting Services combines a single, complete reporting platform with a scalable and extensible architecture to meet a wide variety of reporting needs, including:

• Enterprise reporting. Enterprises can use Reporting Services for their operational reporting or business intelligence applications. Using Reporting Services, corporate IT staff can design a variety of reports and deploy them to individual throughout the enterprise.
• Ad-hoc reporting. SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services includes Report Builder, a new ad-hoc reporting tool that enables business users to create their own reports and explore corporate data. Report Builder incorporates a user-friendly business query model that enables users to build reports without deep technical understanding of the underlying data sources.
• Embedded reporting. Organizations can access pre-defined or ad-hoc reports from third-party applications that use Reporting Services and use these reports as-is, customize them, or create new ones for specific business needs.
• Web-based reporting for partners and customers. Organizations can deploy interactive Web-based reports to deliver information to customers or partners over extranets of the Internet. Reporting Services isolates report consumers from the complexity of the underlying data sources, while providing personalization and interactivity.
