More than a normal website
How this differs from a brochure website
A normal website presents information. A PHP/MySQL business system stores, manages, reports on and automates business data. A small website can start with pages and forms, then grow into dashboards, portals, databases or workflow automation when there is a clear business case.
Useful summary
PHP/MySQL business systems: practical summary
Crawford Software Works helps with PHP/MySQL business systems for small businesses that need a custom admin tool rather than a generic spreadsheet. The aim is to make the page, website or system useful to real visitors first, while still giving search engines clear context about the service, location and next step.
What can be included
What PHP/MySQL business systems can include
Typical work can include database tables, dashboards, search, reports, roles, exports and maintainable server-side PHP code. Each project is scoped around what the business needs now, what should be easy to maintain later, and whether a simple website, WordPress build, clean custom site or bespoke system is the best route.
