We design, develop, install and maintain custom, tailor-made software to suit you, working with you, showing you the work in progress until completion.

All we need from you is a plain-English document detailing what you want the software to do. Although this can sometimes be difficult to express in writing for complex projects. If this is the case, we can help using a friendly sit-down meeting, where we can write down notes, draw diagrams and express your project into a simple requirements document, which we can work on.

We can then start on a prototype version that you can inspect and see how we envisage your requirements. Once you're happy, we move on to getting the project into a working model, and finally a polished, finished version for you to use.

We then continually maintain and improve the project until you are completely happy. We remain in contact for up to 6 months after the project is working and in normal use, where you can add changes, or make improvements as you feel fit.

Do you want your own web site? Need your existing website updating?

We understand that having a 'web-presence' is very important in today's world. More and more people use the Internet to find businesses, services and people - after all, you found us and you're reading this page now aren't you?

All web sites are different (no really) - not only visually, but their purpose too. Web sites need to know it's purpose. They need to identify and give the right information to the people visiting its pages. Therefore, the visitors can leave the site knowing the purpose of the site and give them knowledge of their owner (you).

We can offer various features in your web site to keep your visitors interested, give them the purpose of the site. Not all sites NEED technology like Adobe Flash or other ostentatious gimmick. Remember: search engines like Google and Bing do not store Flash data, only text and regular media types, such as pictures. So, Flash-based data will not be shown in search engines. This is not to say we should not use these technologies, but some thought should be made on when to use them.

Once a website is published and you need to ensure that a website is highly visible on the Internet. The best and most reliable process is known as Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). Optimisation helps your website to become ranked highly by search engines. SEO consists of a number of techniques which, cumulatively, lead to a website being listed more highly in the search results returned by utilities such as Google.

So, how much will it cost?

This is based on the type of site you require. Here are some typical costs:

• Basic static site (i.e. home page, about us, contact us etc) These pages do not change (except for normal updates that we can do for you - for free). Cost :£50 - £100
• Part static, part dynamic site Like the basic type, but contains product pages or other content that change based on a criteria). Cost :£100 - £500 (based on how dynamic it is)
• Full featured site A fully dynamic site that you can change (update yourself or we can for free) as you need to. Cost :£200 - £1000 (based on the amount of work required and technology involved)

We can host the site for you for either free (for static sites) or for a small fee (for dynamic, database driven sites).

We offer advice and help with all aspects of the project life-cycle. We have experience in various types of projects, including personnel, customer relationship management, personal finance and education and training.
