Bespoke Software Developer
From small single purpose solutions up to much larger solutions for SME businesses to run single departments, multiple departments or across the entire business.
We develop our custom software on the FileMaker Pro platform. The speed, flexibility and power of FileMaker Pro is unrivalled for business. Rapid application development, web integration if necessary, and the power to plug into much larger systems (Oracle etc) to create unique modules that are perhaps not present in your current systems.
FileMaker Pro is also a powerful mobile computing platform. Using mobile devices such as an iPad you can work with your business systems and information just as you would from your desktop. Systems can be accessed on a network, from the web, or live on the mobile device in it’s entirety. Contact me today and let’s start talking about your future solutions.
Database Services
For the most part we develop databases using FileMaker Pro, but we also develop other database platforms too.
MySQL can also be used as the storage engine for FileMaker Pro solutions. This is also a good marriage for web based applications. Further adding Cloud hosting as part of your solution it is possible to realise almost any level of access to your business systems from anywhere and with almost any device.
If you would like to move to towards a business based on a database, rather than hoards of Office files but you are not sure how to proceed, simply call me today and I can guide you through the entire process, from ideas through to a fully implement solution.
Web Development
WordPress site development for the newcomer. This site is built using WordPress and the Thesis Theme, no other CMS offers as much flexibility and with the healthiest and most helpful community I’ve ever known, it’s a breeze to add pages, articles, photo’s and video to your site yourself.
The hardest part of running your own WordPress site is getting it off the ground in the first place, this is where I can help you, and my services in this area are focussed on helping you help yourself after the initial site is off the ground.
WordPress is a tinkerer’s paradise, you can install additional functionality with minimal fuss, and it’s extremely hard to do something “wrong” in WordPress, certainly nothing that a quick click on delete or uninstall won’t fix.
If you haven’t heard of WordPress or you don’t know what a CMS (Content Management System) is, then head over to the WordPress site and take a look for yourself. There are literally millions of sites built with WordPress on the internet today, providing a huge and varied scope of functionality such as online ecommerce stores, blogs, business websites, member sites, social sites and a hundred thousand other different uses.
If you think you can write great content but the fear of web design is holding you back, then contact me today and let’s get you over that hurdle.
Online Business Development
Adobe’s Business Catalyst is a powerful tool for developing online businesses. Businesses can start small, maybe with just a simple website to start with and then progressively add more functionality as and when it is needed.
By the time you have finished you could have a fully integrated blog and news section, an online store and any number of other gadgets and apps that you may think of. Performance analytics are built right into your control panel along with a host of data to help you along you business development roadmap.
I’m excited about this new tool, I am planning to bring development online by the summer 2011 but if you are interested in developing a project in the meantime then I am open to prototyping your site at a reduced rate. If that sounds interesting just get in touch and let’s discuss the possibilities.
