Web Applications

Interaction with your visitors is vital in getting a return in your investment. Whether you need the ability to post articles or news or sell your products online with a comprehensive e-commerce site, we have the experience. We believe in saving costs to our customers by taking existing open source solutions and customizing them to your specific needs. Open source allows flexibility in having a global community of programmers your system which means less development time and costs and getting you a functional, dynamic website fast. However, since no website has the same exact needs, each project comes out completely unique.

The basic idea behind open source is very simple. When programmers on the Internet can read, redistribute, and modify the source for a piece of software, it evolves. People improve it, people adapt it, people fix bugs and get support - for free and without patents or royalties. And since most of the work is done, this saves you in development costs. We simply contribute the expertise to implement your needs and ideas.

The open source technologies we use in running our web sites are under the LAMP definition. LAMP is an acronym for a set of open source software programs commonly used together to run dynamic Web sites:

• Linux, the operating system;
• Apache, the Web server;
• MySQL, the database management system (or database server);
• Perl or PHP, scripting languages.

Though these programs were not designed specifically to work with each other, the combination is popular because of its low costs and ease of support. When used in combination they represent a powerful application to develop and deploy web applications.

We have experience using other solution stacks including Java/J2EE, ColdFusion and Microsoft's .NET architecture. We also have experience integrating data with mainframe and mini-computer systems, such as AS/400 servers.
