Web Development
Our web development services cover a wide range of the web programming languages and systems in the market today. If a project incorporates a platform that we're not proficient in in-house, we'll bring the necessary specialists together to get it done right.
We look forward to discussing your next web project with you. Please contact us as far in advance as possible to secure a slot in our schedule.
Content Management System
|
We specialize in building client accessible websites. We approach each element with long-term maintainability and scalability in mind. On a majority of projects, we build sites on the Adobe Contribute content management system (CMS). The client-side workstation-based software application Adobe Contribute is used to edit site content, add & remove pages, upload files, and build out the site. All of this is accomplished without needing to know any technical skills or web programming. Our clients have been incredibly pleased with the Contribute platform and couldn’t image getting along without it. |
Database Applications
|
For other task-specific functional areas of a site, we incorporate web-based server applications as needed. E-commerce shopping cart, blog and discussion forum are examples of server-side applications that may be integrated into a website. These applications will use their own content management system with web-based administration, accessed through a standard web browser. We work with a number of database driven applications but have focused on a select few to improve our efficiencies and deliver them to you at a lower cost. |
Coding & General Programming
|
A quick list of our in-house skills include: HTML, XHTML, XML, CSS, PHP, AJAX, Java Script and MySQL. Again, if your needs do not match the above, please contact anyways. We'll bring the necessary specialists together to get a job done right. We prefer Linux servers, but can work with what you have. |
Search Engine Optimization
|
Search engine optimization, or SEO, is a broad field that encompasses--among other things---site code structure and page content, as well as best practices for improving a sites visibility and ranking by the search engines. SEO enhancements to existing sites are can be quite effective and depend on the site's pre-existing structure. Sometimes, a series of minor changes can make a tremendous impact on site visibility with the search engines. |
