Database Administration (DBA) and Design

Dynamic website applications need to be backed-up by solid databases. Many web designers do not have depth of experience in the field of designing database-driven applications. A poor database design will cause problems with future scalability, performance and maintainability of your application - yet it is one of the most overlooked aspects of the design process. Hewson Digital can architect a robust database design as a foundation for your web application.
