Dynamic Website Development

Depending on your needs, you may need a simple way to update your site often, without the help of a web developer.  We recommend using a content management system.  A website with a content management system (CMS) lets you revise your site and add new content by yourself, without having to hire a consultant each time you need to make a change.  There are many CMS's on the market, and we can help you decide if Drupal, another CMS, or a custom built solution will be the best for you.

If you need to start integrating with databases, business processes, or work flows, then you will need a fully dynamic site.  We have experts in the leading technologies that can get your site from concept all the way to production.  We have a track record of successful websites and we look forward to helping you with your needs.

Web Development Solutions

We understand that web development services can take many different forms.  Our highly skilled analysts and developers have proven experience developing websites and web-based or mobile applications using technologies such as Drupal CMS, ASP.NET (C# and Visual Basic), Ruby on Rails, ColdFusion, PHP, HTML, XHTML, XML, Java, JSP, JavaScript, jQuery, Flash, Flex, Ajax, and more. Here are some of the types of solutions we have offered to clients:

* Data Management:  Data Management consist of aquiring, inputting, maintaining, sharing, and reporting on data.  This is usually the central component of a dynamic website, and can consist of a customer list, inventory, accounting records, or anything else you can keep in a database.  With the web, you can securely open your database to those who need to see it.

* Online Surveys:  We have done numerous online surveys and information gathering tools.  Depending on your need, we can create a web based survey from a reuseable web-based survey tool that we have created, or we can create PDF surveys that can be distributed and then re-loaded into a central database.  We can also help you report on survey results, and generate statistics, summary charts, and summary tables.

* E-Commerce: Online stores and payments have become easier and easier.  We have done many systems with integrated payment systems.  For low overhead stores, we can integrate you with PayPal - this is inexpensive and quick to set up.  We can also use payment gateways, and we have implemented gateways for clients that do millions of dollars of busines each year.  There are also many other options for e-commerce, and we'd be happy to discuss your specific needs.

* Internet Mapping: GeoNorth started as a GIS (Geographic Information Systems) company, so we are technology experts when it comes to mapping.  We have done a wide range of internet mapping sites, including Google Map-based, Google Earth based, and at the high end, ESRI's ArcGIS Server based.  We have done everything from overlaying citty locations on GoogleMap, to a National real estate company using Google Map to display houses, to Oil, Pipeline, and Transportaiton projects on ArcGIS Server.  We have worked extensively with Anchorage base maps as well as datasets for Alaska, the lower 48, and the world.

* Marketing: Your website may be the only chance you have to get a sale.  If your website is sales driven, we can help you optimize it for all phases of marketing; from search engine optimization (SEO) and social media integration, to client click through rates, to closing the sale.  The internet can give you a huge amount or marketing leverage, and we can show you how to use that power wisely.

* Accessibility: As many websites today have accessibility barriers, we can help make your site available to a wider range of people with disabilities and more usable in general.  We are experts at producing accessible, compliant, rich internet applications and websites that adhere to Section 508 Compliance, Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) guidelines, and web standards.

* Search Engine Optimization: SEO is the science of getting your web page listed with search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo.  We have developed our own keyword research tools and a proven method of SEO that follows a four phase process: Preparation, Search Engine Submittal, Pay Per Click(PPC) Trial, and PPC/SEO execution.  We'd be happy to show you results that we have gotten, and to talk about how to get your website noticed.

* Enterprise Integration: Today's organizations can have datasets and business processes spread across multiple locations, departments, and technologies.  We can help you bring these together into a cohesive, integrated system.  These sorts of projects maximize the value of existing data by reducing redundancy and inconsistencies, improving data entry workflow, and improving business process and reporting.  We can help you with minor or major projects to make your business run more smoothly.

* Mobile Apps: The number of people accessing the web from mobile devices has grown at an amazing rate in the past few years.  Having a mobile app is another way to connect with potential customers around the world and increase the presence of your business.  Custom apps can also be used by companies privately to improve productivity, share files, or communicate with employees at another location.  Whether you are using an Android or iOS device, we can create a mobile solution for you.
