Why Having a Lot of Database Options Is Not Necessarily a Good Thing
Published May 10, 2013 | 
In today’s market, there are a lot of database options and solutions out there. Whether you’re looking for a small, desktop-based dbase or an enterprise-level cloud solution hosted online, there are literally thousands of options.
The four major database types are: Cloud DBaaS, Desktop, Server, and Web-enabled.
Most solutions can access or publish to the Web, but not all are really Web-based or real-time online. For the most part, desktop solutions are a personal or very small business (less than 10 employees) option. In those situations where not many people need access to the data or the data needs to be securely kept away from public networks (such as with financial information), then a desktop solution is often the way to go. Assuming remote access is not required.
Web-enabled databases are almost always server-based, but Server databases are not always Web-enabled. Which is why these two are kept separate. Server-based solutions can be totally in-house on closed intranets that are not accessible from the outside world. Or they may be limited in their accessibility via the Web – say to allow users to retrieve some data or get a synopsis like a published info-graphic, but not actually have full access to view or manipulate the data itself unless they are connected via the secured in-house network. Web-enabled databases, on the other hand, are generally fully accessible via the World Wide Web.

Custom Website Design for a Perfect Fit

Everyone, at some time, has bought one of those “one size fits all” items that actually fits absolutely no one correctly. It’s too small for you and too big for your spouse and too long for your mother and too short for your daughter. The same is true with one-size website design. Deciding to make your business known in the virtual world is a major commitment that deserves a site that properly fits your operation. This is what a custom website design is all about.
Take a look at your website but imagine that you are accessing this business’ site for the very first time. Is it attractive enough to make you want to stay a while and explore what is offered or does it appear cluttered and overanxious? A creative website design means that your first impression generates a feeling of comfort and curiosity without being kitschy. You can tell at a glance where the designated tabs most likely lead. You don’t feel like everything is jumping out at you screaming, “buy me” the minute the home page loads.
