Website development is an important issue for any company and Turner Custom Design specializes in providing individualized website development services to large and small companies. Turner Custom Design programmers are highly trained in using the LAMP software bundle to develop and manage dynamic websites that are functional and easy to use for the client.

The software components within LAMP that are used by Turner Custom Design programmers are Linux (operating system), Apache HTTP (web server), MYSQL (database software) and PHP (programming language). These software components are open source and provide a very stable base for managing and disseminating information through a website for use through the internet. LAMP comprises more than two thirds of the servers, database and programming language used on websites today. LAMP allows Turner Custom Design to create versatile websites that are low-cost, reliable, secure and most importantly easy to use and manage.

One very important piece of website development is being able to manage the content within the website. Turner Custom Design specializes in several content management systems such as WordPress, Joomla and Drupal. These content management systems do just that, they easily manage the content that is contained within a website. They are used to manage work flow within a collaborative environment, in other words they allow several people to manage and create content that can be easily disseminated through the website. These content management systems also allow administrators to control who has access, what content gets published on the website and improves communication between users.

One content management system that Turner Custom Design programmers have expertise in is WordPress. WordPress focuses on ease of use and creating a great user experience. It allows the user to build a background template for the website that keeps the website looking elegant and consistent while allowing the administrator to add content easily and fast. There is no need to create a new page each time the administrator wants to add a new page to their website. The template is saved and can be quickly accessed and used to expand or edit the website and its content.

Another aspect of website development that Turner Custom Design programmers attend to is the use and importance of search engine optimization within websites. Search engine optimization is a field of marketing research and website development that focuses on making sure that search engines such as Yahoo and Google can easily find and present the website when a user searches for keywords that apply to the content presented on the website. Two important aspects of search engine optimization are meta tags and title tags. Both of these tags are built into the programming language of the website and allow search engines to locate and present a website to the user.

Meta tags and title tags, while not visible to the user, provide information to a search engine about a given website and this helps the search engine to categorize the website correctly. This allows the search engine to rank the site appropriately and if used correctly and strategically can lead to higher traffic to the website.

These are just some of the areas that Turner Custom Design programmers take into consideration when developing websites for large or small companies.
