The Team
Our distributed team of web developers, javascript coders and server experts means we can easily scale ourselves to match your project requirements. Whether you're a small business, global corporation, or somewhere in between - we can help you achieve your goals.
The Technology
We employ a variety of technologies when developing a website or web application. All of our projects use the HTML4.01 Strict standard, styled with CSS3 meeting W3C guidelines including WCAG2.0 for disabled access.
Designs and user interfaces are enhanced with Javascript and we occaisionally use Quicktime or Flash for video content.
Our web applications are developed as far as possible using open source technologies (freely and publically available), which ensures your budget is spent on features and functions, not user licenses!

We typically use PHP based frameworks, interfaced to one or more mySQL relational databases, delivered through Lighttpd web servers, operating on powerful Linux computers, located in secure european data centres.
Of course we can tailor hardware specifications to your specific traffic and / or security requirements.
Accessibility
Many countries now require by law that websites and web applications meet minimum accessibility guidelines for disabled visitors and users.
The UK statutory requirements are set out in the 1995/2005 amendment of the Disabled Discrimination Act.
The USA requires all state operated internet projects meet Section 508 of the Disabilities Act.
We ensure your project meets and exceeds statutory requirements for your country or countries of operation, routinely achieving AA (double A) standard when assessed against the most widely accepted authority W3C, WCAG2.0 (World Wide Web Consortium, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0).
Who / what is the W3C?
