Hein Computer Services, Inc. can create a custom web site, make custom changes to an existing web site, or develop a custom web application. One advantages of having custom software is that you get exactly what you want and nothing that you don't.

The CKEditor is a very popular free web-based WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) HTML editor that can be used to allow clients to make changes to their site content without involving the developer. This can cut down dramatically on costs as the client is able to do most of the web site work themselves, and the developer is typically only involved in major improvements rather than basic updates and maintenance. The CKEditor was used to create the majority of the content of this web site. To test a demo of the editor used to create this web site, click here.

Friendly URL's are used to make it easier for search engines to browse site content as well as for users to access the site. Friendly URL's are web site links that aren't difficult to remember and are easily identifiable. For example, you may notice that the link to this page is www.heincomputerservices.com/websites instead of www.heincomputerservices.com/phpscript.php?website_id=websites or something else more complex.

Web sites developed by Hein Computer Services, Inc. are created using the latest web standards and are as backward compatible as possible. Web sites can be tested using several web browsers including several versions of Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, and on mobile devices. This helps ensure that your web site will appear the same to users no matter how they view it.

Below are a few examples of completely custom web sites developed by Hein Computer Services, Inc.

The Gourmet Depot web site processes over 1000 orders every week with very little overhead, and the administrators have the ability to modify most of the site from the control panel that was built custom for this site.

Area XII was designed based on the AGEHR national web site. The administrator uses the CKEditor to create the site content and a custom file and link manager to upload files and change the links. There is also a custom calendaring application created to update the calendar.

Global Fitness Association was developed to provide a variety of services to the fitness industry. The web site provides articles and other fitness related information, a store for purchasing gym supplies, a searchable map of associated gyms and fitness professionals throughout the world, and staff training videos and quizzes that track results for managers. All this content is easily updated by the administrators.

Kathie Fink also utilizes the CKEditor to update her web site at anytime and from anywhere she has access to the Internet. The Google Maps API is used to plot her tour on the map and to allow concert goers to look up coming concerts in their area by entering their zip code. Venues are able to enter their information and download and print PDF posters directly from the web site. Although it continues to provide Kathie the functionality she needs, this web site will eventually be updated to the latest web standards.

Fitforms.com is a site for selling documents and forms to the fitness industry. Customers can purchase and download forms directly from the site. The site administrator has the ability to create pages on-the-fly using the CKEditor as discussed above. The web site is linked to the PayPal online shopping cart which allows easy online purchasing and redirection back to the site for the forms to be downloaded.
