Our sites and applications are built to handle high loads created by large volumes of visitors and complex transactions. And built to store large amounts of data while maintaining high levels of performance. As your business grows the demands placed on your site grow too. Some sites just can't cope with this, but ones built by us can! Our sites are designed for ease of use by your customers so they can quickly find the information or products they need. We do this with clear layouts and intuitive navigation, avoiding gimmicky functions that only serve to confuse rather then enhance. We understand that your time is valuable, so we design our sites with easy to use yet powerful back office tools that allow you to manage your site quickly and with minimal training requirements. Comprehensive real time reporting keeps you on target to meet your business goals. Do you keep your customers waiting for you to answer the phone? Or course not, so why make them wait for your site to load? Our sites are designed with speed in mind, from the database that powers them to the graphics on the site, to the world class hosting, everything is optimised to give your customers the fast response they expect. With over 10 years experience developing web applications we know how to keep your critical data and customer details secure and fully backed up. We cover all aspects of security, from safely processing credit card payments to resisting hacker and virus attacks, you can rest assured your most valuable assets are in safe hands. How often have you been to a site to find it's down, or not working properly? And did you go back there again? Probably not. We understand that, to use a cliché, you only get one chance to make a first impression. That's why our servers are monitored 24/7 and site uptime exceeds 99.8%. Before we start a project we agree a fixed budget and fixed time scale with the client, and then stick to it. Project milestones are set and you get to see progress as it happens, getting the chance to give your feedback at each stage, ensuring you end up with exactly what you need, when you need it and delivering value for money. Which makes more sense? Having the way you do business dictated by an off the shelf software package, or, a tailor made application designed to complement your business? Because we do all of our development in-house we can create a solution that fits your business exactly. And because of this, the solution is flexible, changing as your business changes.
