PHP is a server-side scripting language that can be used to create dynamic web pages. Many popular content management systems including Drupal, WordPress, and Joomla are written in PHP. PHP is used by millions of websites. One reason for PHP's popularity is that it is open source and can be used for free with many different database management systems, including MySQL. GeoNorth's highly experienced team of PHP programmers in Anchorage, Alaska can create a dynamic web solution for you, whether you need a web site, a web application, a dynamic content management system, or custom Drupal themes or modules.
At GeoNorth, we often recommend the use of Drupal, an open-source content management system(also known as a CMS) that is written in PHP. We have implemented many Drupal solutions for clients all over Alaska. One reason for this is the ease with which a client can update their website and add new content once the CMS has been configured.
Different functionality can be added to Drupal sites through modules, which are add-ons contributed by the large Drupal community. If you need a content management system with features that can't be found in the thousands of free contributed modules, we can create a custom module. One custom Drupal module from our PHP developers allows data from a client's iPad app to sync with their Drupal CMS, which then displays filtered content from the app on their public website. We also use PHP to create custom Drupal themes, the group of files that control the presentation of a Drupal CMS.
Maybe your project doesn't require something as involved as a custom module for a content management system. PHP can be used for things like online form validation, or creating an online store with a shopping cart. We have also used PHP to create things like visitor hit counters and user polls for web applications.
If your static website isn't meeting your needs and you want a dynamic business solution our PHP developers can help. Call our Anchorage office at 907-677-1500. You can also see all web-related services we provide here: GeoNorth Solutions.
