Planning
Every project requires some degree of planning. Our planning processes
encompass several techniques depending on the task at hand. From simple
structure diagrams to full Object Relational Modelling (ORM), our planning
procedures are designed to ensure your project and its development runs
smoothly at all times. This attention to detail in planning our applications
means that you can have a greater understanding of the way in which your
software operates and that our development team can cross reference code and
support any of our software, regardless of the individual programmer.
Programming and development
Most of our programming and development work is undertaken using the
Microsoft tool set, simply because of the level of support, documentation,
interoperability, scalability and sheer capability available to us. That means
that we can pass on these benefits to our clients. We are well versed in the
Microsoft .NET programming languages with a preference for Visual Basic.NET
(VB or VB.NET) and in some cases, C# (C sharp). Where we have worked with
legacy or existing systems, our developers have been able to turn their hands
to the more 'open-source' technologies like the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and
PHP) tool set.
When working on the internet with web based applications, we recommend that
new-build projects use Microsoft Windows® servers and the Microsoft .NET
framework. We have been producing web sites and online software since 2001 and
all of our developers have 10 or more years of experience writing raw HTML,
CSS and JavaScript which, combined, make the foundations for the much talked
about AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) web platform. Microsoft
Silverlight™ technology is also beginning to make its way into some of
our web development projects.
A little extra
Our expertise in being able to offer bespoke software development consists
of more than writing lines of code. Most of the software we produce requires a
human user to oversee and administer operations. For this, a graphical user
interface (GUI) is required. Our designers and extremely capable imaging
experts use industry standard software to create a clean, intuitive user
experience so that your software is clearly laid out with key operations and
information presented exactly where you need it.
Aside from web development and software programming, we also have a few more
strings to our bow in terms of the service we are able to offer. Our
developers have covered many different areas of new media and emerging
technology; from interactive CD ROMs and DVD ROMs to
video editing and DVD authoring and even some 3D modelling and animation.
