Welcome to the Web2AJAX.net site

Your visit is appreciated

The theme of this site is that, by using Web 2.0 and AJAX techniques, web sites that are far more user-friendly can be built than in the past.

Conventional web sites are plagued by incessant page reloads across the internet in order to refresh page contents, for example as users click on different menu items, or to update shopping cart totals.

Web 2.0 technology greatly improves the user experience by loading the basic page structure and the opening page content as quickly as possible, and then loading everything else in the background with minimal user interruption.

Visitor frustration and impatience with delays caused by constant page reloads is virtually eliminated with Web 2.0 technology, and shopping cart and site abandonment is greatly reduced. Visitors to sites hosted by us are free to roam around sites quickly and easily by selecting menu items, and they can move at will from topic to topic without having to wait for page reloads.

You've visited those awful sites that repeatedly download pages from the internet for even the simplest updates.  And to add insult to injury, you often have to click on buttons to get the page to refresh, such as when a shopping cart total changes after altering the quantity.

Our site templates change all that by incorporating standard web page features, such as Menus, Shopping Carts, E-Mail, and Pricing and Contact pages, into Web 2.0 designs, so that your Web 2.0 site can be brought on-line quickly and inexpensively.  This Web2AJAX site is based on Template # 3 from the "Examples" section.

With our modular building block approach to web site design, you no longer have to pay a programmer perhaps $ 75,000 a year, or $ 50 - $ 75 an hour for contract work, and you can focus on your business while we design and manage your web site.

Hosting

The sites we build minimize page refreshes and button clicks with Web 2.0 technology like AJAX, XMLHttpRequest, JavaScript, and DHTML, and with CSS, PHP, and VBScript.  And our reasonable monthly rates for site management and hosting include routine maintenance such as updating content, search engine submission, and Google advertising submission ( Google charges are additional ), so you don't need programmers for web site work.

As well as site designs based on existing templates, completely customized sites can be provided, and we charge a very reasonable hourly consulting fee for design and programming work.  The decision on which way to go is often based on budget and time constraints, but whichever way you choose, custom or templates, our Web 2.0 sites are all cross-browser compatible and work with Microsoft IE, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera, and Netscape.

When we manage your site design and hosting, payment options let you choose from modest recurring monthly charges, or annual contracts that save you $ 200 - 300 a year compared to the monthly rates.

• Pages built with Web 2.0 technology use CSS for table-less element
  positioning and to cloak and uncloak different parts of pages as
  required, and everything that can be run in the client is run in the
  browser, to minimize server calls across the internet.

  When server access is needed, for database and email routines for
  example, PHP and VBScript are used.  PHP is used mostly as it's a
  universal language that operates across domains to access files at
  multiple remote URL locations around the internet, thus enabling
  "Mashups", which use data from third party URLs on your own site.

  The JavaScript / AJAX "XMLHttpRequest" and "responseText"
  functions ( when properly configured ) permit files and pages
  of any type to be accessed on servers, and PHP pages called
  up this way are used to access cross-domain data, files, and
  web pages.

To help with your site design, some sample styles that you can use to base your design on are shown below.  You can mix and match features from one or another at will ( such as horizontal, vertical, or tabbed menus, color scheme, layout, etc. ), and add your company-specific features as needed, or you can use your own design ideas if you prefer.

Try a shopping cart at http://www.pharmax.com/nov that we are building for a client ( you can use it without buying anything at this URL ).  And see http://www.websitetemplates.name for additional design templates.

Check this box if you do NOT want your site to use a style shown 

  

For example, "Food and Drink" page 2, Maroon "Fruit" design on top row at right end.  Or you can provide a URL to a site that you'd like to use as a template.  Next click "Order" above, and fill-in the information requested.

List changes to the design needed to meet your specific requirements ( e.g. custom graphics and text, and their positions in the layout, such as 'Use Template 4 with lighter green for Middle section, place text from BodyText.doc in Middle Center section', etc. ), and when you are done, click "Submit Order" in the "Order" section above.

  

Finally, check your email for the order confirmation, send the payment requested in the email, and reply to that email with your custom graphics and text ( either as attached files or in the email body ).  You will have plenty of opportunity to finalize the design as we build it, but the more complete it is initially the faster the process will be.

We will start work on receipt of your payment.

  

  

Please identify the items you want to put on your custom page designs and their positions, using the diagram above, and place this information in your email to us ( e.g. use attached CorpLogo.jpg place in Upper Left corner, use attached BodyText.doc place in Middle Center, etc. ).
