Websites can be so much more than simple marketing communications tools. You can use your site to gather information from your customers, manage your relationships with partners and suppliers, sell goods and services online, run sophisticated marketing campaigns with promotional tie-ins, and much more.

All of these potential functions share one thing in common: they are likely to be driven by a database.

Building a database-driven website does offer many advantages (for instance, see Content Management Systems), but it is a more complex undertaking than creating a website entirely in HTML. You will need to choose the database that is right for you, and employ more complex programming languages. The challenge becomes greater still when you are handling multiple languages.

Trans-Asia has extensive experience building and localizing database-driven websites in all major languages, and employs a team of skilled programmers adept at building customized solutions.

We employ a comprehensive approach (see our methodology in the Website Development section) that starts from the initial define stage, in which we work with you to identify your requirements, and encompasses the development of design samples, information architecture, functional specifications and technical specifications.

During the build phase, you'll be able to stay in touch and keep informed through Lexxipro, our sophisticated project management tool that enables clients to communicate to the project team. And we can help you deploy your site and maintain and upgrade the content as required.
