At VirtualGiving.Com, we pride ourselves on our ability to stay ahead of the technology of the World Wide Web. The ongoing evolution of the internet keeps opening doors to more prospects and increased gift totals. VirtualGiving.Com has created the tools that can help you take advantage of those opportunities. Our team of experts specializes in PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor), MySQL (open source back-end database), ActionScript for Macromedia Flash™, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS (Cross-Browser Cascading Style Sheets), plus graphic design and editing utilizing Adobe Photoshop™ and Macromedia Fireworks™. This technical skill, combined with our extensive knowledge of planned giving marketing and solicitation, gives us the edge in creating the specialized, interactive, high-quality websites that you need.
VirtualGiving.Com utilizes Urchin™ to allow you to see activity on your site. Urchin™, recently acquired by Google, is the leader in web statistics and tracking. Its presence on our sites gives you virtually unlimited tracking capabilities.
We are always vigilant about the potential of hackers trying to disable, infect, and generally cause havoc on your website. We secure the hosting servers with IP-Structured security, spam software, and antivirus software that runs locally on our server.
The most engaging planned giving website is useless if it’s "down." Our multi-tiered hardware structure allows us to be up 99.9% without downtime. If a software error occurs, our structured backup allows us to be up and running again in less than one hour. We run a differential backup daily and a full backup once a week. We also duplicate our structure nightly to another server to help ensure that we never lose one item change or configuration update.
