Veni Vortex is a small web design and development company specializing in designing and re-working websites for small businesses and organizations using modern technologies.
Development work includes:
- Website design: Using a content management system such as CMSMS, complex yet customizable site designs can be developed and maintained with ease. CMSMS features a built-in "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG) editor, allowing the website owner to update content without learning any code.
- Site doctoring: Is a website getting old and in need of a good facelift? Does it make use of outdated technologies? Are readers unable to look at it on their new smart phone? Sites redesigned by Veni Vortex use modern techniques to keep them up-to-date and more accessible. Sites that use such standards are easier to take care of than older sites, their maintenance costs may be lower, and their content is easier to update.
- Blog setup: Blogs have become immensely popular in the last few years, but creating a well-designed blog can still be difficult. Blogs designed by Veni Vortex use the WordPress blogging application, and premade themes can be customized with your logo and other elements to create the desired indvidualized look and feel. WordPress blogs allow articles to be posted both on the site and through RSS, and also optionally let readers post comments.
Veni Vortex websites are designed using modern programming techniques, avoiding the use of deprecated code, assuring that code written is considered "valid". These techniques ensure compatibility with modern web browsers, handheld devices like mobile phones, and nonvisual browsing media such as screen readers and text-based browers. Such technologies also improve the website's ranking in search engines.
Coding languages used include:
- XHTML is used to design well-structured web pages, which can easily be read by all current web browsers and by "web robots", like those that build Google's search index. CSS is used to format the page, giving it the desired look.
- JavaScript (also called JScript or ECMAScript) adds interactivity to pages, creating such things as drop-down menus and slideshows. It also enables the use of popular Ajax programming.
- PHP programs can be designed to serve as order forms or shopping carts, in addition to adding other types of interactivity to the site which JavaScript can't do. In conjunction with MySQL databases, PHP can be used for highly complex applications, such as allowing visitors to post comments in response to an article, which can be archived for future visitors to read.
