Welcome to the home of Perpetual Designs
If you are a returning visitor and just know that last week when you stopped by this page was completely different, your not crazy. I change the
layout for Perpetual Designs website every few weeks in an effort to show off some work and try new things. With that said, the style of the website may not
always go hand-and-hand with the industry and in no way reflects the views of myself or anyone affiliated with Perpetual Designs. Love the current design?
It's for sale, just contact me for pricing and modification information at your convenience. |

Custom Software Design & Development
Using the latest available technology platforms, I create stand-alone and custom applications for some of the smallest and largest companies
in the area. Ordinarily an idea will form within an organization, a business application will be built using Microsoft Access or Excel and soon
the company finds itself with a critical dependancy on an application written in one of those two formats, which clearly will not sustain itself
in the long haul.
I take the concepts you have developed and rebuild them as scalable, enterprise-level applications with projected life expectancies of decades.
I also offer suggestions on how to expand on your original concepts to include additional functionalities providing exponential returns on your
investments of time and financial resources.

Database Design & Administration
Not every database is created equal. Some make your business soar - others make your business crawl. What could possibly be the difference
between the two? Simply put: the database design and architecture. Good databases start with a good plan and I can provide that design and
architecture for you.

Website Design & Administration
Companies seeking to lead the pack in their industry require a web site custom-built to their specifications. Nothing "out of the box" works when
you have to be in the lead, because todays primary tool for all sales is the internet and joining that sphere is no laughing matter. It can either
mean increased sales and credibility or quite the opposite.
I will build a web site customized to your business. I employ the latest technologies, architecture, modeling, and platforms to ensure what you buy
today will enjoy a long and prosperous life as a valuable extension of your sales team. Your company web portal should reflect the quality of your
organization. It is critical that you know the anticipated return on this investment and we are just the organization to help you quantify that return.
My expertise in web site programming, database design, report design and development, internet infrastructure, server configuration and installation
and security planning has been repeatedly proven since the inception of Perpetual Designs.

Programming Standards - Explanation
XHTML/CSS Compliance?
Web browsers accept any input, correct or incorrect, and try to make something sensible out of it.
This error-correction makes compatibility between browsers very difficult and forces some visitors
to use a specific browser just to view the website. It has also meant that huge numbers of HTML
documents are incorrect, because since they display properly in the browser of the authors choice,
they are unaware of the errors. This makes it incredibly difficult to write new web user agents
since documents claiming to be HTML are often so poor.
Why should I care if my document is in correct HTML format? It displays all right on my browser.
All browsers know how to deal with correct HTML. However, if it is incorrect, the browser has to
repair the document, and since not all browsers repair documents in the same way, this introduces
differences, so that your document may look and work different on different browsers. Since there
are hundreds of different browsers, and more coming all the time (not only PCs, but also on PDAs,
mobile phones, televisions, printers, and even refrigerators), it is impossible to test your document
on every browser. If you use incorrect HTML and your document doesn't work on a particular browser,
it is your fault; if you use correct HTML and it doesn't work, it is a bug in the browser.
Try testing any of your current webpages, or those of most web designers. You will be suprised how many
websites are not in compliance with todays standards. You can test HTML here and CSS here.
