Development of additional functionality
Web development is creating a website specific to a design, making it work the way you want it to display and respect functionality for the site user and, just as importantly, the site administrator. Some websites have very apparent functionality associated with the user interface and experience, such as an estate agent's website.
Behind the scenes will be a content management system allowing for the population of the website with properties, images, descriptions, videos, sale prices, and the sale status of the house, i.e., Under offer, Sold, For Sale. Many of our clients want specific functionality operating behind the website.
The following shows some examples of functionality we have developed.

Standard Functionality
The crux of all of the functionality is its flexibility via the administrator's content management system CMS. The majority of the websites we design and build at the most basic level give the option to change images, add news articles and or blogs supported by imagery and edit the content of fairly static pages such as "About Us." For product-focused or content-rich websites, a search facility is an additional tool to the website's arsenal, allowing quick retrieval of information. Search filters can augment the search facility allowing sub searches. Data-driven websites allow scalability, so in addition to limitless quantities of products displayed on a website, the option to expand the scope of the site without rebuilding having to rebuild it from the ground up is significant.

The system allows the administrator to: - Add Vehicle categories - i.e. saloons & vans
- Add Vehicles to categories - i.e., Vauxhall Corsa
