We implement the tools that allow you to engage your visitors

Our expert developers have worked in most all environments. From simple implementation and configurization projects, to completely custom coding development. Our team can work directly with you to determine the best solutions and see them through to finish.

Learn about our website development:

Basics of website development
	We ♥ LAMP We recommend and use the Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (LAMP) server environment. For those who aren't familiar with these technicalities, the hosting environment is the foundation for your website. This usually isn't a concern except for those who have been exposed to the nightmare that is called Microsoft through another vendor who develops on Microsoft systems.
	Open Source Matters We strive to work with open source software whenever possible. The open source concept allows all developers of the world to work together as a community to improve software. When developers write software, it is contributed back to the community and everyone benefits. Since anyone can contribute, there are substantially fewer delays, costs, shareholders and board members to report to, and other potholes that interrupt those dependent on closed source software.

Platforms for amazing websites
	Joomla! Content Management System (CMS) The majority of the websites we develop utilize the Joomla! platform. We often recommend Joomla! for its incredible community, outstanding performance, stability, and wealth of extensions to improve the system. This software is open source and freely available, however our Joomla! experts are essential to help you take full advantage of the power of the system.
	Magento Open Source E-Commerce The Magento platform is relatively new to the community, however its incredible potential for enterprise level e-commerce has made it one of the fastest growing e-commerce development communities in existence. We recomment Magento for those who have experience with a web based store and can take advantage of the amazing powers of this system and who can manage the steep learning curve.
	Wordpress Blogging For those just getting started on the web, or simply want to add a blog feature to their web presence, Wordpress is an amazingly easy to use system. Wordpress is quick to deploy and easy to maintain. It should be noted, however, that Wordpress is not very well suited for running an entire web presence for most organizations.
	Many more... There are literally thousands of website content management systems and software packages; so it isn't practical to list all the options. Some common systems that we come across are Drupal, Custom CMS, static HTML, 3dCart, DotNetNuke, PhpNuke, Sharepoint, OSCommerce, Miva, Yahoo Merchant Solutions, Ebay Stores, ZenCart, and many others.
A taste of our website development kung fu skills
	Directory Online directories are an exciting, yet challenging, opportunity for many websites. Whether you intend to use a directory to list affiliates, manufacturers, distributors, franchises, link directory, show locations, or to build a niche directory similar to the yellowpage... a well built online directory can be a great tool. For all the directories we build, our goal remains the same: to understand what you need as well as we can to build your directory in a way that works best for you.
	Find a store near you Isn't it wonderful to jump on a website and simply type in your zipcode to find the nearest location? We can help you roll out this type of system on your website to help your customers find you quickly and easily. We can also fully customize it to fit your needs: show store hours, phone numbers, individual location photos, driving directions, and more.
	Interactive Portfolio We liked this feature so much we put it on our website! The system we use allows you to easily add and remove pages from the interactive magazine-like functionality without having to learn any programming.
	Databases Do you have a large database of information that needs to be organized in a more useful way? Is your database becoming too costly to maintain? Unfortunately, we see these situations quite often. However, not all is lost. Contact us to find out how we can help you get your database into a more manageable system.
	Interactive Forms & PDFs It always surprises us to see websites that still ask visitors to print a form, reply by hand, and fax or mail it in. We're in the digital age! We can convert all your forms and questionnaires to web-friendly, interactive forms. The visitor simply fills them out online and e-signs when they are finished. It is just as binding as physical paper, lets your visitors fill out the form in their pajamas, and releases your staff from continuing to waste resources on managing all that paper! We've helped doctors, lawyers, contractors, and many other businesses move to digital... would you like to be next?
	Google Maps What better way to explain where you are than to have an interactive map that the visitor is already familiar with? Placing an interactive Google map on your website is a snap, so why not have one?
	Online Event Registrations Does your organization manage events, webinars, trainings, bookings, or other similar resources? We've built many online registration systems that allow visitors to book in real time to ensure that you can fill your availabilities without worrying about overbooking or other mistakes that can happen when its done by hand. These tools have evolved to the point that we feel they are competitive with the likes of RegOnline who can charge substantial fees to manage your registrations. We'd love to save you money!
	And many, MANY more. Rather than trying to attempt to recite impossibly long list of capabilities, the best way for you to find out if we can help you is to contact us. We can help you determine the feasibility of your request or make recommendations on where to start. Get A Free Estimate

What we DON'T do:
We feel that it is important for you to know that there are some specific types of website development that we do not engage in and why.

We DO NOT perform website development for realtors or real estate agents
WHY? Managing database feeds that contain hundreds of thousands of entries is a very specific skill that we feel is best done by a firm that solely develops real estate related websites. Although we may be able to offer consulting services to help you manage your real estate website developer, we will not perform real estate related website development.

We DO NOT manage websites built on custom CMS' or static websites
WHY? Because we want to save you money. Custom and static websites are extremely labor intensive to manage. If you intend to continue on the web, it is ALWAYS worth the investment to convert your website to a common CMS (whether your site is 5 pages or 500 pages).
