Standards are important to us.

Introduction

We use industry standard 'open source' tools which means that usually there is no need to buy additional software licenses to deliver the solutions that you need, therefore helping to keep costs down. This doesn't mean that we compromise quality in any way, on the contrary, we make every effort to ensure our solutions are robust and built using the current industry views on best practices.

Adobe Web Development Suite

Adobe Systems are market leaders in web development software and their 'Creative Suite' is used by software professionals & web designers the world over. Intelligent integration between the Adobe basket of web development tools like Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Fireworks and Flash Professional means that web sites can be designed and implemented with maximum efficiency.

Dreamweaver

Dreamweaver is a sophisticated web development tool that allows us to speed up the development process due to the wealth of time saving features contained within it. By using Dreamweaver as our base development tool we can consistently produce reliable web applications based on universally accepted development standards quicker than otherwise would be possible.

HTML & CSS Markup Validation

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international body that develops Web standards. Tim Berners-Lee (the inventor of the internet) has served as the Director of W3C since it was founded in 1994, and has, with others, published more than 110 such standards.

The Markup Validation Service offered by W3C allows Internet users to check HTML documents for conformance to published (X)HTML/CSS standards. We strive to ensure all of our posted pages conform to these guidelines on markup usage, are error free, and can therefore carry the W3C validation badges.

Programming with PHP

PHP is a widely used, general purpose scripting language that is especially well suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.

As of April 2007, over 20 million Internet domains were hosted on servers with PHP installed, and mod_php was recorded as the most popular Apache module. Significant web sites are written in PHP including the user-facing portion of Facebook, Wikipedia (MediaWiki), Yahoo!, MyYearbook, Digg, Joomla, WordPress, YouTube and Drupa.

JavaScript

JavaScript is the most popular scripting language on the internet and was designed to add interactivity to web pages like pop-up windows, screen input validations and changing images as the mouse cursor moves over them.

MySQL Database

MySQL is the most popular Open Source SQL database management system and is developed, distributed, and supported by Sun Microsystems, Inc.

MySQL is a database management system. A database is a structured collection of data. It may be anything from a simple shopping list to a picture gallery or the vast amounts of information in a corporate network. To add, access, and process data stored in a computer database, you need a database management system like MySQL Server. Since computers are very good at handling large amounts of data, database management systems play a central role in computing, as standalone utilities, or as parts of other applications.

MySQL is used in a wide range of applications, including data warehousing, e-commerce, Web databases, logging applications and distributed applications. It is also increasingly embedded in third-party software and other technologies. According to MySQL AB, their flagship product has over six million active MySQL installations worldwide. Customers include Cisco, Dun & Bradstreet, Google, NASA, Lufthansa, Hyperion, and Suzuki.
