R Computers - WWW Development

Picture this Page!

What is there to say?
There is not much for us to say here. Our pages should sell themselves, but if they haven't then perhaps we should say something.

We strive to create pages that, not only look good, but bring in business for our customers. We have full command of HTML programming and throughout our pages you can see:

We can either design the entire site or just layout graphics and text that you have come up with. To give you an example of how long a project like this might take, in this site we have:

538 pages,
4.33MB of graphics, sound and java applets,
and it has required 377 hours to develop (as of 5/30/2000).

In the DJ Plus! web site there are:

13 pages,
977KB of graphics, sound and java applets,
and it has required 22 hours to develop.

And in the Lantz Security Systems, Inc. site there are:

eight pages,
397KB of graphics,
and it has required 14 hours to develop.

Frames and Tables
This site is setup to use both frames and tables. The frames come from the main page and look like this:

Frames 1 & 2

B
u
t
t
o
n
s

Frame 3
Main Area

Frame 4

Frames 1 & 2 contain our logo and site map. Frame 3 is the main part of our site and frame 4 contains the changing marquee.

Frame 3 is broken up into two tables; the yellow button border on the left and the white main information area covering the rest of the space.

Animated and Static Graphics
The Site Map (rotating compass) graphic in the upper right corner is and example of an animated graphic, while the buttons down the left side are examples of static graphics.

Marquees
If you are using Microsoft's Internet Explorer 3.x or up you will see a right- to-left scrolling marquee at the bottom of the page on a light gray background. If you are using Netscape Navigator 3.x or up then you will see text which is not moving. This is because Netscape does not seem to understand the <MARQUEE> statement. Most of our page design was done in MSIE simply because Microsoft's J++ development software was set up to work with their browser (of course) and we started our Internet development with Java applets. We have tried our best to make it look good in Netscape's browser, but not everything works quite the same.

Component Object Model Security
Component Object Model (COM) components can access any system resource, like files on your hard drive. To prevent this from being a major security problem, the browser allows only trusted files, downloaded from the Internet, access to COM objects. In order for an applet to become 'trusted', it mast pass the security measures in the browser. This is done using a 'signed' file. Signing a file is similar to signing your name to a document telling who this file is from. When a signed applet is ready to run, the browser pops up a signature dialog letting you know who the applet is from and allowing you to check that the signature (i.e. from Verisign) to verify it is still in good order. You, the user, may then decide whether or not to let the applet run. We have a demonstration we prepared for our customer, ShowBiz Pizza (they own the Chuck E. Cheese restaurant chain).
