Looking for a way to update and maintain vast amounts of data, such as a large Bed and Breakfast Association or a Realtor Site of properties? A database designed web site is what you need. Database sites allow you to update, delete, store, retrieve and sort vast amounts of data that a static web site simply cannot handle. Acorn specializes in knowing how to build a solid and efficient database retrieval system, and at the same time make it search engine friendly for that highly desired natural/organic (free) search engine traffic.

Definition: A database contains information that has been organized so that the data can modified and retrieved quickly and easily. Queries can be preformed that retrieve the exact data needed. The database engine is the component that alters the data or retrieves the data from the database tables. There are many database engines available, but there is a big difference in their architecture. Performance, reliability and maintainability can vary dramatically between various products.

We use MySQL as our database engine. We chose this database because of its power, reliability, and easy of maintenance. To read more about MySQL go to www.mysql.com MySQL has been used when we build larger web sites such as associations. The database enables powerful features such as amenity searches and quick updates to the data that a non-technical user can perform. Members of an association can have the ability to quickly update their data such as a description of their inn, prices, specials, etc. This approach has saved associations time, money and has enabled web site updates immediately.

We use the scripting language PHP to communicate with the database. It sends the commands to the database that alter or retrieve information. We chose this programming language because of its speed, reliability and ease of use. To read more about PHP go to www.php.net
