Problem with databases
Lack of skills result in: Barriers to entry Use of available systems (Access, FMPro, Excel) Ad hoc databases Inappropriate design
Poor field definitions (d-m-s, text for #, uncontrolled categories)
Lack of normalisation, redundant data Standalone desktop databases
Backup and sustainability No reuse, no web accessibility

Solution
A tool which makes it as easy to create a web-accessible, server-based database as a standalone desktop database
A wizard which builds a clean, well-designed database and populates lookup tables where possible
A wizard which builds a set of web pages which can simply be edited for appearance
