PHP Web Development

We've been developing for the web since the mid 1990s. About the same time that the Internet and web browsing was unleashed onto the world.

Although the ways of developing for the web have changed dramatically over the years, we started working with PHP around the year 2000, and fell in love with it. The simplicity of developing server-side applications meant that we could provide users with much more than a static web site experience. We could deliver true information to users through database integration, intelligent applications and highly available solutions over the Internet.

Most of our clients are looking for something more than a static web site. They want to offer data, interactivity and a compelling web experience for their customers or trading partners. For that reason, we specialize in the technologies that deliver on those promises:

	PHP5 We've been an object oriented software development shop for a long time and we are so thankful for the OO capabilities of PHP5. We take advantage of all the best design frameworks for PHP development, particularly MVC (Model View Controller) frameworks.
	Javascript/AJAX We started coding in Javascript in the late 1990s, and have continued to the present. With the advent of XHTML and AJAX development style, our skills in Javascript coding are in big demand.
	Cascading Style Sheets We seperate content from visual style through CSS styles. We know cross browser issues with CSS and code accordingly.
	CodeIgniter There is no sense in reinventing the wheel unless you can make a better wheel. Our philosophy is to take from the best open source PHP framework on the planet (CodeIgniter) and adapt it to our projects. We are active members of the CI community and proud to use CI in our projects.
	Firebird SQL The database is key to the solution. A slow or improperly designed SQL database will bring down performance on the best web application almost immediately. We've been database designers & developers since the early 1980s and we've done some HUGE database designs, development and applications. Firebird SQL is our DB of choice where we can use it.
	MySQL We know how common MySQL is within the LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) community, so we're flexible. If you need your PHP application developed with MySQL, that's fine. We can handle it. MySQL 4 or 5 or whatever. We know how to make the most out of MySQL too!
	Apache You need a great HTTP server. With 70% of the Internet powered by Apache, we are proud to also be powered by this incredible technology.

With over 50 different web applications developed and deployed, its no wonder that our web development skills are in high demand. We have a team of professionals that can deliver the best solution for a client, using the best tools. And we will be around years later to support and update our web applications if needed. But as we use industry standard tools, you should be safe in the knowledge that our code can be worked on by most professional web developers. We don't create unmanageable code like some programmers do.

To date we have many, many successes in web development with PHP. Our award winning CyberEars.com audio podcast hosting service represents just one of many. CyberEars is found bundled with Alesis audio products and you can most likely find it on boxes in most Best Buy, Circuit City and other electronic retailers all over the world. Its because of the power of PHP and our ability to leverage it, that we can develop world-class web solutions for our customers.

And by combining the power of Firebird SQL database development with our PHP applications, we have the best of both worlds.

But we also know that customers often don't want to deal with the world of web application hosting. That's ok too. We offer Internet hosting services through our own Internet hosting division, so we can provide a customer with a complete 'one-stop shopping' experience for their web development requirements.

We use the CodeIgniter PHP framework for most of our work because it takes advantage of true MVC (Model View Controller) design patterns that allows for large scale application development without the burden of heaps of code management.
