Web Development

As with most things, good planning and communication are critical

Our experience with big corporate sites has taught us the importance of good communication and planning. So from the very first meeting we'll work closely with you in order to get all the available details into a simple, comprehensive specification or proposal document. Using your existing graphical identity where possible, we'll create screen-shots with explanatory notes to gain approval for the look-and-feel.

As soon as the 'business' rules and page designs have been signed off development can begin. During the development phase, we'll give you a secure log-in so you can watch or comment as work progresses.

Then, with a little tuition, you’ll be ready to upload content to the site and prepare it for launch. Once live, we’ll help you plan further development and marketing.

For the Purists...

Our web servers run on Debian Linux and Apache. Our tools of choice are Open Source CMS like Typo3 and Silverstripe. For more complex projects we use development frameworks like Ruby on Rails and CakePhp. Even our Project Management applications are Open Source.

We're not idealists but we believe deeply in collaboration. Which is why we're so open with our knowledge. And we know our customers benefit from this approach... because they tell us.
