I Can Do That.  How'd You Do That?

The Wonder of the Web is that it's made many complex and difficult things seem very easy to do.  But it's instructive to recall a remark by the talented and charming singer/songwriter Ms. Dolly Parton -

"You'd be amazed how much it costs to make this hair look cheap!"

Dolly's great with a quip.  But, our point is -- in web-based development a good design coupled with sound implementation can make things look pretty simple. But it's often not as easy as it looks.

A Dot-Com Explosion?  Or Just A Dot-Comedy?

The dot-com explosion we heard as the new millennium approached became a dot-bomb of even louder proportions. Why?  Plenty of reasons (and blame). But a chief cause was that web-development is something many developers are ill-prepared to do.  Here's a news flash: Hiring more of them is not the way out of a hole.  And hiring people with experience from the recent past is no guarantee they've ever succeeded at web development!

Need Help with Definition and Creation of Stand-Alone, App Server-based Sites?

If your strategy involves any web-based or enterprise-category development, you'll be well served to have a look at another of our more aggressive development efforts. For this site, iWay designed the entire product offering - including decisions about product functionality, and free trial and paid service levels.

This site, goAskem.com, features an industry-standard, Java Servlet-based implementation and such object-oriented software design principles as

• deployment of powerful design patterns like model-view-controller, front controller, data access objects, threaded resource pooling with reaper threads, singletons, command objects, and others,
• uniquely fast, low network bandwidth, web-based wizards for easy entry of complex structured data,
• a complete Object-to-Relational database encapsulation layer with code generation utilities, and
• a powerful underlying web-app framework for quick, quality implementation.

The site implements a complete application service for on-line assessment - tests and surveys - including creation, delivery, data collection, scoring and management, and results analysis and visualization.  iWay Technology was integral in every phase of this project - competitive analysis, market positioning, requirements definition, design, implementation and testing.  Now, iWay Technology operates this site as a part of its full-service web-app deployment capability.

Lighter On The Sauce, Please

If goAskem.com seems beyond your present requirements, here is something a little less aggressive.

OnCourse International is an association of professionals engaged in senior management consulting and personal-assessment seminars. They were looking for a site that conveyed their professionalism, but also engaged the visitor in a process that might lead them to realize the benefit of further services.

Their site, completely designed and implemented by iWay Technology Company, goes beyond the traditional brochure-ware and periodic news pages, with a distributed-implementation, server-side Java-based personal assessment instrument that fosters an introspective look by the visitor.

This process is supported with unique graphical results presentation (without the burden of Java applets), and a wealth of background material to aid in the interpretation of the visitor's results.  These results are maintained for reuse and downloading in a relational database using JDBC ecapsulated in the O-R Mapping layer of iWay's web-app framework.

One For The Road

The Absolute Installation Service specializes in mobile electronics sales and service. In fact, they can drive a full-service installation and repair shop right up along side your vehicle (talk about "walking the walk", eh?). They spend a lot of time on the road and needed a way to "talk" to their customer without getting tied up on the phone.

This site answered their needs. Although it is as simple as a single web page, it lists their specialties, product lines and contact info.  Best of all, it's on the job 24x7, all year 'round.  And this site literally hasn't had a day off in months.
