For Digital Page Publishers, Ltd., design entails a variety of issues, beginning with visual attractiveness and intuitiveness and on to the less obvious aspects of web applications such as search engine design, data and media design, web services design and network and security design.

In developing web sites, we assess solutions in terms both of immediate usefulness and of extensibility: years of development, bug fixing and log analysis have taught the dangers of proprietary or hard-to-adapt formulas.

Under the design heading, we create:

• web site design and user interface (several designers and styles are typically suggested for a project)
• network design (Internet to Internet and intranet, intranet to intranet);
• rich media (audio and video files, compression protocols and delivery).

Typically, DPPL employs Microsoft's Windows Media Server along with a peer-to-peer plug-in created by DPPL's partner company, AllCast. Parallel solutions are also offered when Real Network's media server is indicated or when the Macintosh OS needs to be supported.

DPPL develops and hosts both live events and stored media.
