How We Do It

Open Source Software

We specialise in development using open-source technologies to provide a better solution and service to you.

Our engineers have spent many years developing internet applications on a wide range of platforms, and we find that open-source solutions are generally superior:

  • Development is quicker and more efficient
  • Documentation is better, easier to find
  • All required components are usually part of the base software, and if not are easily added
  • We can choose the most suitable package, and not compromise on price
  • The resulting product is cheaper, more efficient, more secure, more robust and more future-proof

Project Development

All work is undertaken on dedicated Linux servers configured to be as close to the target system as possible to ensure compatibility. Additionally, we have virtual machines hosting other operating systems to allow us to test projects with various web browser combinations. This allows us to provide a solution which will work with a wide range of devices.

We are proficient in server-side and client-side coding, meaning that we can provide efficient and effective code able to provide you with a more robust solution. Additionally, our adoption of modern programming techniques, such as AJAX, will allow your website to keep up with the rapidly changing online world.

We make use of the following technologies:

Server-Side
  • PHP
  • Perl / CGI
  • Java
  • ASP



Databases
  • MySql
  • PostgreSQL
  • SQL Server



Client-Side
  • Javascript
  • HTML
  • DHTML
  • AJAX



Legacy Integration

We can integrate with almost any database system running remotely on a wide range of platforms. Using a combination of database transformations, and scripts and/or applications running on the legacy server we can provide two-way synchronisation between websites and legacy applications.
