All large companies have their own web sites today, but many smaller businesses still have not as yet added this exciting element of business. This is usually due to the expected costs of creating a site, or simply a lack of knowledge of what needs to happen.

Web site design from Aumworks is aimed to give you "Just what you need". We can start with a nice simple web site consisting of a few pages or we can create a large web site with interactivity and complex programming.
Aumworks can provide expert programming in HTML, DHTML, CSS, PHP, mySQL, Lotus Notes Domino and Javascript with the emphasis on programming for What you want, rather than what the programmer wants. We also provide a number of powerful Open source Power Tools, like the gallery & our e-commerce solution, to add components to your website, again reducing the overall costs.
There are many other companies that will provide you with an inexpensive web site, but, quite often, you cannot tailor it graphically to suit your company or organisational image
