Question

Create Searchable Database for Find Information?

Oct 1, 2015 11:57AM PDT

On our website, I need to add a lot of suggested iPad apps. I have so many of them, I don't want to just list them.

Is the best way to go about this to create a database? I'd like for people to be able to narrow the results down by what age the app is for (i.e. PreK), what skills that app builds on (i.e. letter recognize), price, etc.

Any suggestions on free ways to go about this without coding? The best idea I've had is to embed a database, and I'm not sure if that will even work.

the only thing that really comes to mind is something like an Excel spreadsheet.

But yes, a database, much like a spreadsheet, allows you to provide a user interface that allows a user to search and filter as desired.
