The seasoned staff at Dalma Consulting has been designing and building professional websites since 1995. Simple sites that are a page or two; websites with thousands of interactive pages; and fully functional database driven applications that manage entire businesses - we've done it all.

Early Days of Brochure Ware
In the early days, most websites were simple "brochure ware." Many businesses decided they wanted their brochures on the web. We did a lot of those sorts of sites for large companies like Frigidaire, Dirt Devil, Stanley Steemer, American Electric Power, and Checkfree just to name a few. We also did a lot of work for smaller "Mom and Pop" businesses. Most of these early sites were static, online representations of collateral pieces.

Interactive and the Web as a Platform
Over time, websites became interactive. Companies saw the value in offloading tasks to their website. Before we knew it, we were building "web applications". A good example of this - American Electric Power realized it was easier for them to collect resumes over the web and be done with paper. These resumes could be stored in a database, tracked, reviewed, and referenced easily through a secure application. Other companies quickly joined suit and before we knew it, the web had become a platform for applications that saved businesses time and money.

One of the most prominent examples of this is the work we have done for Techdisposal. Techdisposal is an e-waste recycler that had specific inventory management needs. Low end software was too simple and high end software would cost them millions. Techdisposal needed something in-between. Dalma Consulting was tasked to design and build a fully interactive database driven solution. This solution was web-based and tailored specifically to their needs. To this day the software serves as the "life blood" of the company as it allows the staff to manage inventory, create work orders, handle logistics, handle billing as well as perform other company critical tasks. It has streamlined the business process for the company and allowed the company to grow six fold to become an Inc 500 winner several years in a row.

Another example of Dalma Consulting creating a usable web-app is Piano Credit Company (PCC). PCC was originally founded in in 1998 to handle large loans to customers of piano dealerships. Originally, when a customer made a purchase and wanted a loan, that customer filled out a paper application by hand. The application was then faxed to PCC's office. A credit check was performed by PCC staff and an answer was faxed back.

The paper process was was cumbersome, time consuming, and prone to error. PCC decided to innovate by moving this entire process onto the web. Dalma Consulting was hired to design and build the web-based application. The new website authenticates dealers, allows for input of the customer's application, provides real-time instant credit checks, tracks the purchase, and generates approval forms. All within seconds under a blanket of heavy-duty security and encryption.

eCommerce Solutions
eCommerce quickly rolled onto the scene. In late 1995 our staff was proud to help build one of the first eCommerce websites for Camelot Music - a music CD retailer looking to sell music CD's on the web. Other eCommerce websites followed. Now we are proud to have built eCommerce solutions for St. Johns Bay Rum, Proven Promo, Heartland Herbs, Order of Malta Merchandise, Betty Jean Art, Lambi Bros, as well as other clients.
