Technical Development

We only use reliable and trusted systems
 such as MySQL, PHP and Apache

Without unduly blowing their trumpets we are blessed with very able web developers. This is good for our customers because not only is it more than likely we can create the online solutions you have in mind – they will also be coded in an efficient, robust way, often bringing emerging ideas and technology to the table. We code in PHP, a well proven open source language, integrating MySQL databases for high performance storage. We invent only where invention is necessary.

To a greater or lesser degree we 'tailor' most of the sites we work on to better reflect the way you do business. This calls for smart coding, a mix of core elements we are able to 'recycle' and new code, just for you. Our experience tells us that 'off-the-shelf' web applications rarely meet a customers specific needs, or those that do also tend to invariably have an overly complicated and often unusable interface.

Every website has different requirements which is why we choose to program in PHP whenever we require some level of interactivity or dynamic content. PHP is a proven web technology that fits the needs of everything from the most basic contact form up to a complex online shop or company intranet. Some of the most popular websites on the internet are developed in PHP so we're in good company!

Dynamic information is stored in MySQL databases which partners very well with PHP and, like PHP, is the chosen technology for some of the worlds largest online sites.

Other web based technologies are used as and when websites require them. All sites now benefit from varing degrees of JavaScript, from image animations for visual enhacement, to improving the usability of complex data-entry forms with autocomplete/validation features. We also develop fully-featured search engines for large website and providing printable web solutions using either PDF's or dedicated print templates for standard HTML.
