Custom web development

We can design, develop and host an interactive website to your requirements. Some examples:

  • A company website with information that needs to be updated by your staff - e.g. price lists, rates, availability, special offers.
  • An online shop or bookings/reservations facility.
  • A site where clients or suppliers can log in to view the status of work, add information or requests and approve items as they progress through a workflow. This kind of site can help your business run smoothly and save a lot of phone calls and paper shuffling.

We can add features to an existing website, though sometimes it is better to redevelop the whole site in to a new more flexible and useful format.

We can also develop websites for a specific niche or geographical area you would like to target. For example:

  • Build a community around a product or interest.
  • Social networking, introductions or dating.
  • Online shops, auctions, etc.
  • Monitoring, aggregating information, interfacing with other systems.
  • Listings, reviews and ratings.

Contact us to discuss your requirements.

Web-based applications

Built with the same technology that powers the web, web-based applications are used on an internal company network (intranet), or a private area accessed via the Internet by staff, clients, agents or suppliers (extranet). Often much easier to maintain than traditional desktop software, web-based applications may be used from different locations – office, home, while travelling, etc.

We develop custom web-based applications for our clients and also produce general applications available on a subscription basis to spread the cost of development and provide ongoing support and improvements.

Contact us if you have ideas you would like to discuss.

Usability and security testing

Your existing website might be letting you down. We can review your website to see how easy it is to use and whether it provides information and facilities customers expect. We can also check for technical problems that may affect your customers. We report our findings and suggest how to fix problems and make improvements.

Many websites have security weaknesses that could allow unauthorised access or disclosure of private information. Although the operating system and web server software may be secure and your web server may be protected by a firewall, problems with the website itself can still leave you open to compromise. We can audit your website for common security problems and look for any weaknesses specific to your site.
