Malawi Design

We have been designing and implementing websites since 1996, only a couple years after the World Wide Web (html specifically) was invented. We provide highly customized sites and or easily - client - maintained sites. And support any need you might have, flash, video, sound, databases, security, file repositories and more.

There are 2 basic types of websites:

• Static site: don’t change content or layout with every request unless a human (web master or programmer) manually updates the page.
• Dynamic site: adapt their content and/or appearance depending on the end-user’s input or interaction or changes in the computing environment (user, time, database modifications, etc.) Content can be changed easily by the client without any programming expertise. Dynamic sites are database driven, and usually very easy for clients to upkeep using a simple interface - a content management system.

CMS (Content Management System) is useful for any website that needs regular updates. You have the freedom to easily add, delete, and edit the posts/pages at any time.

You can change the look of your site quickly without having to touch the content. There are tons of free themes to choose from!

Includes a blog. Most clients like to have the blog feature in place, as it keeps your readers informed of new developments and them coming to your site more often, and its a great tool for SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

Uses plugins. Plugins make a website more usable, accessible, highly customizable, and fun! There are many plugins (and continuously growing in number) and they are free to use.

CMS adheres to W3C standards for XHTML and CSS. Your website will appear and work correctly when viewed using different standard-compliant browsers and platforms (MAC, Windows, Linux, etc)

Standard RSS and Atom configurations for feed readers or Aggregators. Websites automatically read your website and can display its text and images (Private sites as well as social networking sites such as myspace and facebook), and vice-versa.

CMS has a built-in trackback or pingback feature. Trackbacks or pingbacks let another website know that you have an entry that references that particular website, and vice-versa (It also notifies you when another website used your site as reference-link).

Spam is No Problem - Fighting spam is not an issue as preinstalled filters block spam in the background.

Automatic Backups - Daily backups of your site, just in case the server had a hardware failure.
