Data Creations Australia have formed an alliance with Mettro, one of Australia’s best web developers, to provide a wide range of services to get your database online.

Remote Access
Want to be able to access your database on the road or from home? We can set up remote access for you. We can configure your routers, check security, configure dynamic DNS services, advise on internet connections and providers or anything else to get you into your databases quickly and securely from anywhere in the world. Alternatively, if you would like somebody else to manage the hosting of your database we can professionally host your database.

Instant Web Publishing
Just as the name suggests, IWP is instant. By default though, it can have its problems. Data Creations Australia has been working with IWP since it was released in FileMaker Pro 7 so we know the pitfalls and how to overcome them. We can build an IWP interface into your existing database and control who has access to what. We can guarantee that the web interface will work perfectly and look good inside a browser. IWP is a great feature, but few developers know how to implement and utilise it properly.

PHP Interface
We offer PHP development for use in conjunction with FileMaker Pro. For the uninitiated, PHP Hypertext Preprocessor is a programming language that allows web developers to create dynamic content that interacts with databases (in our case, FileMaker Pro databases). PHP is basically used for developing web based software applications. We have spent the last 12 months working with Mettro to develop expertise in this area and can now provide this service to you.

So how does it work and what can it do for you? FileMaker Pro and PHP can do a wide variety of things from giving your staff access to your database over the internet, to running a complete (and secure) online ordering/shopping website. It works like this. We take your database (or build one for you) and set it up for the web. We then liaise with Mettro who will develop a web front-end for it using standard web pages and PHP code to access the database. Your database is then hosted using FileMaker Server Advanced and the web pages are uploaded to your website.

If you don't have FileMaker Server Advanced, we can arrange cost-effective hosting which will enable you to make use of this service.

Back-End Databases
FileMaker Pro is fast becoming one of the best back-end databases for websites and Data Creations Australia has the skills and expertise to make the most of this technology for you. We don’t pretend to be the best website developers, we leave that to the experts. We work closely with one of the best web developers in the country, Mettro, to design and implement a website which will be the envy of your competitors and enhance your image with your customers. A data driven website allows you to easily maintain and update your website, without any knowledge of web development. Simply enter data into the database and your website is instantly updated. If you already have an established relationship with a web developer, we will be happy to liaise with them to get your data on your website quickly and painlessly.
