Does your site look stale, is it rarely updated, or worse yet hard to update? Maybe it only works in Internet Explorer and you want to capture a greater audience? It's not the end of the world! We implement tried+true processes to freshen up sites and give them a new lease of life. Our designs work within the framework of accepted web standards and usability guidelines to deliver your message. It doesn't end with great design, we pop the hood and ensure pages are delivered to your visitors as fast as possible, encouraging reuse and a solid returning audience. There's nothing worse than a slow website to turn off your prospective customers.

We can help

• integrate your organisation's online presence with third social media sources such as Twitter and Facebook
• integrate with web services, enriching your application with information from 3rd party sources
• redesign & rebuild your site, from scratch if needed
• encourage reuse of your website through great design and fast delivery
• implement ecommerce systems to enable online payments

Technologies used

We use a number of technologies to develop web applications, and we pick the best ones for the job at hand:

• We primarily use PHP for web development
• Database development using MySQL, Postgresql, CouchDB and MongoDB, depending on the project requirements.
• Our frontends are developed with standards based HTML, XHTML and CSS and we aim to get them working in all major, modern browsers
• We enhance website functionality using Javascript libraries such as jQuery
• Our servers run Linux and FreeBSD in monitored datacentres

The process

We stick to the standards, where possible, as they give a site the greatest chance to be usable over the widest range of devices and browsers. We also understand that not all browsers are created equal and take this into account during the development process. Our understanding of web application development goes beyond starting up an off-the-shelf HTML editing package and shows a deep understanding of the workings of the presentation, behaviour and layout of a page on the web and the steps it takes to make it into the browsers used by your audience. We understand caching, speed & other performance improvements, how they can affect your site's delivery and the direct onflow effects this has for your audience's satisfaction level. We clearly analyse & understand your audience's size, distribution and browsing habits,  allowing us to match the correct level of hardware and software with your project to handle
