Technology
Our platform
We are very proud of our technology; it has taken many long hours to produce our web generation platform and it's library of tricks and techniques. It's packed with more features than most other web-development company's offer.
Interactivity and animation
If you want things moving around the screen, fading in and out and causing other things to happen when you click them or hover over them we can do it. These things are typically done in Adobe 'flash' or javascript. You can twist our arm, but we don't usually believe in things moving around for no good reason!
Server-side technology
Our real niche is our capability with Perl and server-side code. Leading to websites where the owner can update the content, whether it is information on current stock or bargains or other features. This ability to manipulate server-side code puts us head and shoulders above our competitors.

What do we do with our server side code?
Technology should underpin business requirements - not be there for its own sake. How does this translate into something you will find useful?
Server side code makes all the following features possible:
We are very proud of our: Old English Translator Old English is a precursor of the Modern English language. Spoken between the 5th and 12th century in areas of what is now England and southern Scotland.
The translator is largely written in Perl and translates Old English to Modern English and vice versa. It involves some very complex server side processing to marry both sets of grammar and carry out the actual translation process.
We have received compliments from many academics for this work including some in the US who use the translator as part of their coursework in Old English language studies. This site usually achieves over 300 hits per day and sometimes over 500!

Server side code makes all the following features possible:
- Forms based applications. e.g. An online and secure facility for administering a club. Set up members and events. Database back end. Many features e.g. Members can enter events, see who else has entered, see their virtual account etc.
- Make some pages/features in your website secure so only signed on members can see them.
- Allow the administrator to upload photo's and descriptive text - great for vendors selling goods where thay want to place pictures alongside text. i.e. car and motorcycle dealers, estate agents etc. Allow the website owner to easily update content in predetermined areas without going to a full content management system and without getting the website supplier involved.

Photo Gallery
If your business needs to highlight some of your products, or possibly pictures of your premises or other aspects of your work, images with accompanying text can be viewed via a 'Lightbox' application. A user can click on an image and it will be magnified in a modal 'Lightbox' window, which smoothly resizes itself according to the size of the image.
Here are a few pictures that could be part of a product portfolio. Click on one of the pictures below.
