`Many churches have prayer rooms &ndash; rooms set aside for people to come in to pray. Hoffmantown Church in
Albuquerque, New Mexico was one of these churches. However, they had seen the use of this physical prayer room
dwindling over the years. People had become less willing to drive to the church, especially at night, and security

request from the site, or from clicking a link in the daily e-mail they receive with requests from their interest
areas. As many prayer needs are confidential, security and confidentiality are very important. Virtual Prayer Room

DJS Consulting can develop an interactive web application to fit almost any need.

p.home-lead Bit Badger Solutions develops the site you need to enable your success!
p These solutions can take several different forms.
h2 Process Automation and User Engagement
p.
Computers can be used to augment or automate nearly any process; could you think of generating bank statements,
processing mailing lists, or tracking orders without some form of automation? We develop web-based solutions to
automate #[em your] processes, ensuring that your business constraints are satisfied; these systems can run on the
Internet or your private network. For Internet-facing solutions, we engineer solutions that allow them to interact
with you securely, presented in an engaging manner. And, by "engagement," we are not describing intrusive page
pop-ups and other #[span.strike marketing gimmicks] web annoyances; we determine an optimal user experience for
#[em your] customers, and tailor the solution to work for both of you.
p Several of our projects fit this description.
ul
li.
#[router-link(:to="{ name: 'Application', params: { app: 'virtual-prayer-room' } }" title="Virtual Prayer Room") Virtual Prayer Room]
helped the prayer ministry of
#[a(href="http://www.hoffmantown.org" title="Hoffmantown Church in Albuquerque, NM") Hoffmantown Church] enable
their prayer warriors to have access to requests wherever they are, even in their inbox once a day!
li.
#[router-link(:to="{ name: 'Application', params: { app: 'tcms' } }" title="TCMS") TCMS] was an application that
helped organizations such as #[a(href="http://www.loveincabq.org") Love INC of South Albuquerque] connect people
with needs to people who can help fulfill those needs. TCMS sprung from the
#[a(href="http://hosted.djs-consulting.com/archive/notsoextreme_org" title="Not So Extreme Makeover: Community Edition (Archive)") Not So Extreme Makeover: Community Edition]
in Albuquerque, New Mexico during spring break 2008; we not only developed the public presence, but a private
system called #[router-link(:to="{ name: 'Application', params: { app: 'nsx' } }" title="NSX") NSXapp] that
enabled the management of the volunteers, families, and things for this massive effort.
li.
We continue to offer
#[router-link(:to="{ name: 'Application', params: { app: 'prayertracker' } }" title="PrayerTracker DJS Consulting") PrayerTracker],
a free-to-use web application that helps Sunday School classes (or other small groups) generate a prayer request

#[router-link(to='/about/process-automation-solutions' title='Process Automation Solutions') Learn more about how our solutions automate processes and engage users].
h2 Information Publicizing and Blogging
p.
In the early days of the World Wide Web, it was known as the "information superhighway." From its inception, the
web's primary goal is information. The open nature of the Internet allows anyone, anywhere to say anything,
provided they can connect a machine to the network. In fact, there are software products to handle everything
except creating the content; all you have to bring is the ability to form a coherent thought, and type that
thought into a box. #[a(href="https://wordpress.org" title="WordPress") WordPress] is one of the most popular
#[abbr(title="Web Log") blog]ging platforms in use today; it allows authors to concentrate on the content of
their websites, rather than forcing authors to turn into programmers.
h3 Custom-Built Sites
ul
li.
We developed and maintained the site for
#[a(href="http://www.emeraldmountainchristianschool.org") Emerald Mountain Christian School] for 9 years, where
they had information about the type of curriculum they teach, the school's 40+-year history, a calendar of
events, and how to get more information.
li.
We built and maintained the site for #[a(href="http://www.summershome.org") Photography by Michelle], which had
information, prices, and samples of the photographer's work, as well as the ability for customers to view proofs
and make photo selections online.
li.
The sites for #[a(href="//bayvista.org" title="Bay Vista Baptist Church") Bay Vista Baptist Church] and
#[a(href="//olivetbaptist.org" title="Olivet Baptist Church") Olivet Baptist Church] utilize a "static site
generator," where the entire site is generated from source files, then served. It requires no back-end database,
which means that the server can send them as fast as its clients can take them. These two sites even have a
generated podcast feed! Adding content to these types of sites requires a bit more technical knowledge beyond
"typing text in a box," but it is a great way to build ultra-fast, scalable web sites.
li.
This site is a single-page application (SPA) utilizing the #[a(href="//vuejs.org") Vue.js] JavaScript framework.
The application pages are generated based on an internal data set, and the other pages are simple text
components. Its bundling means that the initial page is small, and after the initial load, it runs entirely in
the browser or on a phone or tablet. Sites that reference external data sets would still need to access the
Internet to retrieve data, but this is much more efficient than having to download the entire page every single
click. (It's even #[a(href="https://github.com/danieljsummers/djs-consulting.com") open source] if you want to
see how we did it.)
h3 WordPress Design, Customization, and Support
ul
li.
We helped
#[router-link(:to="{ name: 'Application', params: { app: 'cassy-fiano' } }" title="Cassy Fiano") Cassy Fiano]
and #[a(href="http://melissablogs.com" title="Dr. Melissa Clouthier | Information Pollination") Dr.Melissa Clouthier]
both move their blogs from Blogspot to their own domains.
li.
We migrated
#[router-link(:to="{ name: 'Application', params: { app: 'liberty-pundits' } }" title="Liberty Pundits") Liberty Pundits]
from a custom blog platform to WordPress, and set up and maintained their server, which routinely cleared
100,000 hits per day in its prime.
li.
For #[a(href="//www.futilitycloset.com" title="Futility Closet") Futility Closet], we moved their site from a
shared hosting platform to its own #[abbr(title="Virtual Private Server") VPS], to enable it to handle its
ever-increasing traffic.
li.
TCMS and NSXapp both used WordPress as their front end, which also provided a public web presence that the
customers could update themselves.
From its inception, the Web has been about information. Do you need to get information out about an upcoming
event? Are you wanting to start blogging, or breathe some fresh life into an existing blog? Those are but a few
of the problems that this solution solves.
#[router-link(to='/about/information-publicizing-solutions' title='Information Publicizing Solutions') Find out more about our information publicizing and blogging solutions]
(including WordPress and statically-generated sites).
h2 Web Services and APIs
p.
On our #[a(href="//techblog.djs-consulting.com" title="DJS Consulting Tech Blog") tech blog] you can browse the
#[a(href="//techblog.djs-consulting.com/category/wordpress" title="WordPress | DJS Consulting Tech Blog") WordPress]
category for information on plug-ins, and you'll find that the themes on all of the WordPress blogs linked on the
right have been customized.
h2 Web Services
p.
A web service is a way of using the Internet to provide or accept information that makes sense to computers; this
allows other sites or applications to consume information from, or provide information to, your service. This
enables communication between applications, without having to establish any communication channels other than the
ones that web browsers already use. It isn't the best fit for every application, but when it is useful, it is
#[em very] useful.
p.
Photography by Michelle has a web service that a desktop application utilizes to create the online proof sets
right from the computer where the images reside. We also
#[a(href="//techblog.djs-consulting.com/2010/4040-web-service.html" title="40/40 Web Service") wrote a service]
for the 2010

h2 Legacy Data Sharing
p.
Our background in mainframe applications gives us a knowledgeable perspective on retrieving information from
older, &ldquo;legacy&rdquo; systems. This data can be migrated to a more modern relational or document database,
where a web application can retrieve the information; in some cases, the data can even be exposed as a web service
in place. These types of systems are often a great way for companies to expose their data to their customers,
without having to move their day-to-day system from its current environment. While we currently have no active
projects along these lines, our developers have done them in the past for other organizations; sadly, none can be
linked publicly.
Do you have data that's old &mdash; and by &ldquo;old,&rdquo; we aren&rsquo;t talking &ldquo;iPhone 6 old,&rdquo;
we&rsquo;re talking &ldquo;this data
#[a(href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_candidacy#United_States' title='Age of Candidacy (United States) | Wikipedia') could run for President]&rdquo;

there.

h1 Information Publicizing and Blogging
p.
In the early days of the World Wide Web, it was known as the "information superhighway." From its inception, the
web's primary goal is information. The open nature of the Internet allows anyone, anywhere to say anything,
provided they can connect a machine to the network. In fact, there are software products to handle everything
except creating the content; all you have to bring is the ability to form a coherent thought, and type that
thought into a box. #[a(href='https://wordpress.org' title='WordPress') WordPress] is one of the most popular
#[abbr(title='Web Log') blog]ging platforms in use today; it allows authors to concentrate on the content of
their websites, rather than forcing authors to turn into programmers.
h2 Custom-Built Sites
ul
li: p.
We developed and maintained the site for
#[a(href='http://www.emeraldmountainchristianschool.org') Emerald Mountain Christian School]
#[small (#[router-link(:to="{ name: 'Application', params: { app: 'emerald-mountain-christian-school' } }" title='Emerald Mountain Christian School | Bit Badger Solutions') about])]
for 9 years, where they had information about the type of curriculum they teach, the school's 40+-year history, a
calendar of events, and how to get more information.
li: p.
We built and maintained the site for #[a(href='http://www.summershome.org') Photography by Michelle]
#[small (#[router-link(:to="{ name: 'Application', params: { app: 'photography-by-michelle' } }" title='Photography by Michelle | Bit Badger Solutions') about])],
which had information, prices, and samples of the photographer's work, as well as the ability for customers to
view proofs and make photo selections online.
li: p.
The sites for #[a(href='https://bayvista.org' title='Bay Vista Baptist Church') Bay Vista Baptist Church]
#[small (#[router-link(:to="{ name: 'Application', params: { app: 'bay-vista' } }" title='Bay Vista Baptist Church | Bit Badger Solutions') about])]

utilize a "static site generator," where the entire site is generated from source files, then served. It requires
no back-end database, which means that the server can send them as fast as its clients can take them. These two
sites even have a generated podcast feed! Adding content to these types of sites requires a bit more technical
knowledge beyond "typing text in a box," but it is a great way to build ultra-fast, scalable web sites.
li: p.
This site is a single-page application (SPA) utilizing the #[a(href='https://vuejs.org') Vue.js] JavaScript
framework. The application pages are generated based on an internal data set, and the other pages are simple text
components. Its bundling means that the initial page is small, and after the initial load, it runs entirely in
the browser or on a phone or tablet. Sites that reference external data sets would still need to access the
Internet to retrieve data, but this is much more efficient than having to download the entire page every single
click. (It's even #[a(href='https://github.com/danieljsummers/djs-consulting.com') open source] if you want to
see how we did it.)

h1 Web Services and APIs
article.content.auto
p.
A web service is a way of using the Internet to provide or accept information that makes sense to computers; this
allows other sites or applications to consume information from, or provide information to, your service. This
enables communication between applications, without having to establish any communication channels other than the
ones that web browsers already use. It isn't the best fit for every application, but when it is useful, it is
#[em very] useful.
p.
An #[abbr(title='Application Programming Interface') API] can be a synonym for a web service, but it can also be
a generally accessible way of providing data. For example, Twitter has a public API, which other applications can
use to display tweets on their site.
