Database Interface

LanternMedia's specialty is database driven websites. Our database system streamlines and organizes a large amount of information, creating a more efficient site that is quick and easy for the client to maintain. Our skills with information architecture and web standards compliance allow us to design a site for you that is visually pleasing, easy to navigate, and fits the needs of its users. Tools are created so that users who are not technically proficient can maintain their own site quickly and easily. Features include:

Blogs
Articles, Magazines, and Online Books
Photo galleries and slideshows
Audio and video
Calendars, Events, and News
Forums
Quizzes and Polls
Glossaries
Search and Browse
Mailing lists
Special sites or landing pages
Many other features! Please ask us if you would like more information.

Once information is entered into our simple and easy-to-understand database back end, it will appear instantly on the website. This allows users to maintain their own data without worrying about design or programming. It also allows for automatic organization (by criteria you set). We can often customize the database to allow for individual preferences. We can also customize the design to match the "look" that the client requires; see some of our many examples below!

Additionally, a secure shopping cart checkout program is fully integrated into the website, including discount and coupon functionality. Our publishing clients include:
