Services we can offer you.

Web Application Development

Whether it is a CMS or a social-networking application, all of our web applications are designed primarily for their ease of use. We cover the entire development process from scoping out initial requirements through to deployment and testing the finished product. We make extensive use of Ruby and Rails which allows for rapid prototyping so that means you get to see and test for yourself the finished product while it is still being built. We will also train you in using the finished product and provide support when needed.

For deployment, we use Capistrano with Passenger to host the final product. We can also assist you in configuring your hosting environment ready for production.

Application Audit

Developing a stable and popular application also involves extensive code perusal and security fixes. We could help you by providing peer review of your code base and patching any outstanding security issues. We have developed our own suite of profiling tools to benchmark your application and help 'speed up' the core areas of your application. We also conduct BDD/TDD testing using tools such as MOCHA,SHOULDA,RCOV,RSPEC,CUCUMBER and could help you implement or re-define your tests more clearly.

User Interface Design

We can help improve the look-and-feel of your existing site and allow your site visitors to find the required information easily. Our techniques have been proven time and time again to improve user experience and to drive traffic to the optimized site. By combining simple, straightforward designs with an understanding of Information Architecture, we could help improve the overall user experience to your site.

We also handle Javascript and Flash frontend development to enhance the overall user experience of your site. This ranges from using custom built components through to integration with existig open-source javascripts libraries.

IPhone Development

The IPHONE platform is an exciting, new avenue to generate new customers for your products and services. We could help you by developing and designing bespoke applications for your target audience. We could also help migrate your existing application or site to be IPhone compatible.

Website Design

Got an idea but need help in translating it into a working website? We are able to visualize your ideas into working designs and transform it into valid, highly usable, web 2.0 ready websites. We also perform cross-browser testing to ensure your site displays correctly on all platforms and to have it listed in most of the major search engines.

Template Cut-ups
