We are a close-knit team of developers that thrive on the ever-changing web and all it has to offer. We enjoy keeping up to date with the latest and greatest, and passing the best stuff onto our clients.
Whilst we always have an eye on the future, we also believe in the importance of strong roots. We focus on a core set of technologies and become experts in them; this leads to better work and happier clients.
Application Development
We build custom online applications that work. We understand how users interact with the web, and what it takes to develop a successful online product. We develop simple, yet effective solutions that focus on the user and the core functionality that's required. We follow an agile development methodology, and help our clients take their idea from a concept, through detailed define and design stages to development.
Mobile Development
Developing for the mobile platform presents a whole new set of exciting opportunities and challenges. As it closes in on top spot for devices used to access the internet, it is a very important platform to understand and cater for. We have been working hard over the last few years to understand the mobile world, developing the skills required to design and build native applications and mobile website that work.
Content Managed Solutions
Content management systems (CMSs) have become a key tool on the web; enabling businesses to keep their site fresh and up to date with recent content. We help our clients design a content managed solution that works for them, and provide the tools they need to manage their unique business. We don't use out of the box templates, and have the expertise to build custom components for your individual needs. Once the website is complete, we provide detailed documentation and hands-on training to help you take control.
Strategy and Design
Developing a successful website or application stems from a solid definition of your project objectives and a thorough design process. With a unique understanding of both functional design and technology, we help clients design the best possible solution that can be successfully transformed into a real life product. We help clients from the early stages of idea generation and workshops, through to detailed specification and wireframing.
Our Clients
We have worked with a diverse range of clients from government departments to online start-ups. We specialise in partnering with advertising and other media agencies to provide professional development services, and help expand their online offering and provide end-to-end solutions. Below are a list of clients and partners that we are currently working with:
Our Technology
Whilst our team has a broad range of experience in different web technologies, we focus on a core set of languages and tools that we are experts in. These are:
- Presentation: W3C compliant CSS and XHTML, Javascript (JQuery)
- Server side: PHP, NodeJS, MySQL, MongoDB
- Application development: PHP and the CakePHP framework
- Mobile: iPhone & iPad application development and mobile friendly CSS
- Content Management: Joomla & Wordpress
- Interactive: Flash and Flash Builder using Action Script 3
- Payment Gateways: eWay and Paypal solutions
- APIs: Facebook, Twitter, Google Apps
Our Processes
We continually develop and follow a set of processes and standards that ensure our projects run smoothly. Whilst this not only saves costs in re-development, it also produces better results. We work closely as a team and with our clients, and continually revisit our requirements to make sure the project is delivering what it was intended to.
We use version control, automated updates and management tools to ensure as few issues as possible. In the case that defects do arise, we manage these efficiently and respond to issues through the use of a client portal.
