FTP Access

DL Designs can offer turnkey web solutions for you or your business, when you choose DL Designs to host your website we will provide you full access to your files via FTP access.

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. FTP's or File Transfer Protocols are basically a network protocol that allows you to manipulate and transfer data over the network system your site is on. In addition you may connect to a third party server to edit, post, or share files onto your particular server. So why is this important when you choose DL Designs to host your site? Without FTP access, it can be very difficult to post, copy or modify the files on your site.

Web Hosting

DL Designs offers the ability to have your website designed and hosted all in one convenient location.

Web hosting is a service which allocates space for your website on computer servers that are connected to the Internet 24/7.

Free Web hosting is convenient but has its drawbacks. Usually it will be required that you allow the server to run advertisements on your website. The advertisements are normally banner ads -- a banner at the top of the page for example -- and sometimes pop-up ads as well. When you host your site with DL Designs your website will remain advertisement free and be presented to the world exactly how it was meant to be seen.

Domain Registration

DL Designs can register a domain name for you or your business or we can guide you through the process of registering a domain yourself.

Domain registration is the process by which a company or individual can secure a website domain, such as www.yoursite.com. Once you have completed domain registration the domain becomes yours for the period of the contract, usually one year. Before registration expires it must be renewed, or the domain reverts back to being available to the general public.

SQL Databases

DL Designs offers the ability utilize SQL databases to our customers, SQL databases are required for applications like forums or content management systems to operate.

Free web hosting services typically do not offer this service, at DL Designs we can not only host your SQL database we can maintain it for you.

Custom Website Design

Using the latest software like Dreamweaver and Photoshop DL Designs can design you or your business a custom website.

Web design is the process of planning and creating a website. Text, images, digital media and interactive elements are used by web designers to produce the page seen on the web browser. Web designers utilize markup language, most notably HTML for structure and CSS for presentation as well as Java Script to add inter activity to develop pages that can be read by web browsers.

As a whole, the process of web design can include conceptualization, planning, producing, post-production, research, advertising. Web designing is all about writing code that is valid HTML and CSS which make it easier to correct problems, and edit pages. HTML and CSS are the fundamental technologies for building web pages: HTML (html and xhtml) for structure, CSS for style and layout, including Web Fonts. By separating the presentation style of documents from the content of documents, CSS simplifies Web authoring and site maintenance. For example, having a separate CSS file allows for making aesthetic changes to the entire website than just to a single web page. If CSS rules are included within a single HTML page, changes would have to be made to each and every page that used the element in question. The reasoning is that HTML should only be used for raw content and CSS be used to manipulate the content for aesthetic style.

Theme Modifications

Designing a custom website can be time consuming and costly, using a pre built theme will get your site up and running quickly and is less costly.

DL Designs offers the best of both worlds from custom designed websites to custom theme modifications, depending on your budget custom theme modifications can be a very affordable way to get a professional website online.

Data Recovery

Data recovery is the process of salvaging data from damaged, failed, corrupted, or inaccessible secondary storage media when it cannot be accessed normally. Often the data are being salvaged from storage media such as internal or external hard disk drives, solid-state drives (SSD), USB flash drive, storage tapes, CDs, DVDs, RAID, and other electronics. Recovery may be required due to physical damage to the storage device or logical damage to the file system that prevents it from being mounted by the host operating system.

The most common "data recovery" scenario involves an operating system (OS) failure (typically on a single-disk, single-partition, single-OS system), in which case the goal is simply to copy all wanted files to another disk.

Another scenario involves a disk-level failure, such as a compromised file system or disk partition, or a hard disk failure. In any of these cases, the data cannot be easily read. Depending on the situation, solutions involve repairing the file system, partition table or master boot record, or hard disk recovery techniques ranging from software-based recovery of corrupted data to hardware replacement on a physically damaged disk. If hard disk recovery is necessary, the disk itself has typically failed permanently, and the focus is rather on a one-time recovery, salvaging whatever data can be read.

iPhone optimized websites

Right now, millions of users are surfing the web using an iPhone or iPod touch. StatCounter research finds MobileSafari is the number one mobile browser in the US and number two globally. If you run a website, chances are good that users have visited your site using these devices.

While the iPhone and iPod touch do an amazing job of displaying web pages the way they were designed, iPhone visitors often want quick access to your website's content. An iPhone microsite presents an optimized versions of your site's content, formatted perfectly to fit the iPhone/iPod touch's screen - say goodbye to microscopic text, zooming and fumbling through website content.

There is no foreseeable disadvantage to existing visitors. You may choose to serve your microsite automatically or present your users the option of visiting it. Either way, your iPhone-optimized microsite will provide enhanced browsing experiences for iPhone/iPod Touch users while the rest of your visitors continue browse your regular site without interruption.

Content Management

A web content management system (WCMS) is a software system that provides website authoring, collaboration, and administration tools designed to allow users with little knowledge of web programming languages or markup languages to create and manage website content with relative ease.

A WCMS allows non-technical users to make changes to a website with little training. A WCMS typically requires a systems administrator and/or a web developer to set up and add features, but it is primarily a website maintenance tool for non-technical staff.

YouTube integration

Bringing YouTube to your site is more than just adding some of the millions of videos available on YouTube. It keeps your visitors interested and allows self-expression and interaction with one of their favorite services. And it brings your site, blog, or page into the YouTube video community—an international network of users, creators, and sites connected through the Web's largest collection of online videos.

Photoshop

Photoshop is the leading digital image editing application for the Internet, print, and other new media disciplines. It is embraced by millions of graphic artists, print designers, visual communicators, and regular people like you. It's likely that nearly every picture you've seen (such as posters, book covers, magazine pictures, and brochures) has either been created or edited by Photoshop. The powerful tools used to enhance and edit these pictures are also capable for use in the digital world including the infinite possibilities of the Internet.
