Our experience covers not only the most popular HTML editors such as .NET, Dreamweaver and FrontPage, but also other advanced technologies such as SQL Server and MySQL (key to e-commerce), VeriSign Payflow Pro payment services, XML, client and server-side scripting (ASP, PHP, Javascript, VBScript), 3rd party tools such as email objects, virtual tours, shopping cart tools and more.

Our development facilities include everything needed to develop, maintain and test your site and allow for your review and approval before posting it live. We operate our own web servers (IIS 6.0), SQL Server (SQL Server 2000), (Apache, PHP, MySQL), Email Server, ColdFusion Server and other components needed to completely replicate your website. This allows us to ensure that the website we build/maintain will operate live exactly as it does in test. It also allows you to visit your site on our test servers and experience the site exactly as it will appear live!

Search Engine Optimization
One of the most important aspects of a website is its search engine ranking and accessibility. We help ensure your site gets the highest possible search engine placement by analyzing your site's text content and formulating the best keyword and descriptions combinations. We also use the special coding techniques that search engines look for when indexing a site, giving your site the highest search visibility and rankings.

Cross Browser – Platform Compatibility
We develop our websites to ensure compatibility with all of the common browsers and platforms in use today. The following are the standards by which we build our sites:

PC Platform:

• Netscape 6+
• Opera 7.5
• Firefox 1.0
• Internet Explorer 5+

Macintosh Platform

• Internet Explorer 5.2
• Netscape 6.2
• Firefox 1.0
• Safari 1.2

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
We develop all of our sites using cascading style sheets (css) exclusively to format all content. This is not only the most advanced web development standard, but also results in the cleanest, fastest and most maintainable pages.

Development Experience
Our work is always carefully considered and planned. We draw on our 20+ years of professional development experience to arrive at designs that are functionally effective and efficient, and clean and maintainable. And we don’t rest on our experience laurels either. We continue to explore and inquire into the latest techniques and technologies, ensuring that our knowledge stays current and relevant.

Database Expertise
With over 20 years of database coding experience, including 4 years as database administrator for a large insurance company, we use that expertise to build the fastest, most efficient database interfaces possible. Among other advanced techniques, we use only low-level OLEDB connections and stored procedures to execute all database queries, resulting in nearly transparent wait times for database I/O.

Back-End Admin Screens (Content Management Systems)
We have years of experience building web-based admin screens (content management systems) that allow site administrators to control site content, import and export data, process e-commerce orders, manage shipping and tracking, deliver and monitor email newsletters, view and edit database records, and perform any other custom administrative functions needed for a site. We build secure back-end systems that are password protected and use secure sockets (SSL) for additional security / privacy.

Project Management
We’re project veterans of every scope and level. We’ve lead and managed projects from multimillion-dollar corporate projects, to mom-and-pop storefronts and simple identity sites. For those clients needing IT advice, we can recommend, configure and administer new web host account set-ups based on your site’s needs. We’re as flexible as we are experienced. We’re as comfortable following a detailed project methodology as we are ‘winging it’ when needed. The important thing is that we have the flexibility and understanding to work at the level that you feel most comfortable.

Intangibles
We are passionate about web development. We are definitely not a “Mon to Fri, 9 to 5” shop. Our hours typically extend late into the evening and into most weekends as well. For example, our customers typically receive responses to after-hours email within minutes. Most importantly, we’re the experts and we do the work. We don’t outsource your project, or turn it over to students or part-timers.

We work with you to build sites that are pleasing to use and effective. We also have the project management background necessary to drive the development process from initial analysis and design through testing and implementation.

Your website will be fast and efficient, which has a funny way of leaving your customers satisfied and impressed!
