about the studio : why vital? : technical skills


For those of you of a more technical persuasion, we thought you might like to know a little bit about some of the key ingredients that go into our projects to enable us to deliver such rich, intelligent functionality.

Most importantly, all of our technical development - that's the behind the scences programming, or the 'clever stuff' as our clients call it - which is what really sets us apart from the 'we also do websites' crowd as a specialist website development provider, is based on the industry leading Microsoft ASP .Net platform.

Microsoft's .Net development platform is the most widely used development platform in the business world, and as a Microsoft Partner with Microsoft Certified Devleopers on staff, you can be confident that the bits of the website you can't see are delivered to the same excellent standards as the bits you can.

We are also experts in and regularly make use of, amongst other things:
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • MySQL
  • php
  • Javascript
  • CSS
  • DHTML & XHTML
  • XML & XSL
  • Ajax
  • Flash & Action Script
  • jquery
  • Microsoft Silverlight
  • Viewpoint 3D

Most of all, we like a challenge! This year alone, we have developed against and integrated with a wide range of systems including web based applications using web service APIs, stock control systems with Active X programming and a number of line of business applications using SQL database integration and reporting services.

We maintain a wide network of partners, contacts and subject matter experts and play an active role in the local business community as well as the national technical community - so if you want to set us a challenge, please get in touch; if we're not the best man for the job, we'd be delighted to point you in the right direction wherever we can!
