Web Development

With PHP coding and compelling graphics, our layouts are robust and stable, well-balanced and artistic, yet functional and practical, for a dramatic and quick-loading interface.

In addition to site design and maintenance, AAP Creative provides client training, data conversion, email filtering, help-file creation, server configuration, site optimization, and back-door administrator tools.  Our methodology is to maximize server performance, simplify troubleshooting, and facilitate future development by excelling in four areas:

Flexible Application Design
Gathering detailed requirements from our clients, we draw up site schematics for content, forms and functionality.  This stage involves careful mapping of front-end interfaces, back-end adminitrative tools, automated tasks, and basic data modeling.

Scalable Database Engineering
We design scalable, relational databases, applying strict conventions for highly normalized data.

Precision PHP Programming
Program code is written after design and databases are established.  Tools, templates and front-end protocols include: variable naming conventions, subroutine structure, query format and output structure, ANSI-standard SQL queries, inline commenting, and source code formatting.

E-Commerce and Custom Web Systems
By effectively managing and breaking down project tasks, our applications perform almost flawlessly and have helped clients succeed at fractions of the cost charged by other full-service agencies.  Features include:

• Business directories
• Credit card processing
• Dynamic online forms
• Flash animation
• Google mapping
• Event calendars
• Mailing list software
• Publishing systems
• Subscription modules
• Web traffic reporting

Web Hosting
AAP Creative has a strategic alliance with Canvas Dreams to offer hosting packages for any size company, with discounts for nonprofits.  Our servers are in a secure data center in Portland, Oregon, with redundant power and backbone connections to multiple T-1 lines.  We’re small enough to provide personal service, yet large enough to offer 24/7
live technical support.

Supported Platforms & Software: Macintosh, PC and Linux; server configuration and co-location; HTML, Javascript, PHP; Access, FileMaker, MySQL; Robohelp, and more.
