FAQs

What is Image Gallery?

Image Gallery is an application that runs on your web server to provide you with a customizable portfolio. It can be synced with Neighborhood Maps to instantly map properties entered into the gallery.  It enables you to publish images on your site easily. It integrates with your site to match your branding. You could pay a web developer to create a similar application for your site but it would be expensive. When applications have been programmed, they go through a life cycle of testing, modifying, and testing. This process can take months to complete. We have already done this so you can have a bug-free application without the hassle of creating it from scratch.

What is PhP and MySQL?

Php and MySQL are Open Source programming languages running on Apache web servers to create dynamic web sites. Most web developers either program in PhP/MySQL or Microsoft ASP/SQL languages.

We are happy to offer clients the latest technology without the development costs. It could easily cost you thousands of dollars to have your web developer create a portfolio tool for your web site.

The image in the gallery, links to the image on Google maps, and in Neighborhood Maps the image links to the specific location of the image in the gallery.
