Custom development.

Real world wise.

The involvement of our development team begins with a client meeting, during which the business goals and functional requirements of a project are defined in detail. These requirements are recorded and describe exactly what needs to be available on the completed website and why.

Armed with this information, our development team have the necessary perspective to choose the most appropriate methods and, during the project cycle, have a good grounding from which to suggest possible improvements.

In our element.

We only use stable, well established web technologies that guarantee reliable high performance. Over time we have developed a working platform based on Apache web servers, mod_perl and MySQL, enabling the development of robust and scalable applications. At the interface level, we use Ajax, Javascript and Flash to enhance the user experience.

Nitty Gritty.

mod_perl is a technology that can boost performance of standard Perl scripts by a huge margin. We use a templating system based on mod_perl called Mason which is also used by organisations such as Amazon, NASA and UEFA. Mason enables us to create flexible, easily updatable web sites in a more efficient manner.

Catalyst is our preferred enterprise-level web application framework that closely follows the Model-view-controller (MVC) architecture. The MVC architecture aims to separate an application's data, user-interface, and business logic so that when changes are made to one, the impact on the other two areas is minimal.
