Database Structure

Fast, efficient pipelines

The Internet is not a series of tubes but your website does need a fast line of communications with your database. Let's look deeper into this. A website is the culmination of many concepts e.g. user interface, aesthetic design, usability, etc. All aspects are important and as such one cannot ignore the need for a well designed back-end. Your website is also composed of data such as users, blog posts, products, and so on. A well designed database is organized and programmed in such a way that the user does not have to wait an unnecessarily long time to get what they want.

Here at Red Nova Labs, we understand that our clients can be very successful, so we approach websites with a consideration for the future when the site may need to support thousands of hits a day or even an hour. We take into account that the site may be required to grow and support more feature sets and more data. All of this “pressure” rests on the shoulder of the database. A smart database finds what your looking for with smart algorithms designed to deliver performance. Consider this: When at a grocery store looking for the milk, one would go towards the refrigerators in the back and tend towards the diary products to find the milk. That's smart. It would be foolish to walk up and down the aisles scanning the canned soups, the cereals, and then finally make it to the back corner of the store! Our approach takes finds smart solution to the issues that come up. We know it that should not only ?just work? but it should work well.

Confused User

Items that may make your users wonder about your website's stability.

  • Organization of data.

    Poorly organized data can make a site slow and unnecessarily complex. This can add to not only search times but overall development time.

  • Peak times

    Do you have a hot new item? Or a ground breaking news piece? This can send thousands users to your site on top of regular users

  • Heavy media

    The days of text only site are long gone. Interactive media is here and it can slow your site down. Different methods in design can alleviate this issue.

  • Relevant results

    We are all used to search engines like Google, Yahoo! and Live. So when an individual website's search results are not what you searched for it can be frustrating.
