User Friendly Software We know how important it is to consider the end user when creating software and websites. Many bespoke applications and sites are difficult to learn and use, and look dreadful.  Our websites and software work well, are easy to use and look professional. Flexible Development We understand that flexibility is often the key to successful IT solutions. Many developers insist on having a detailed specification before they start on any project. Whilst we have and do work like this on many projects, it's often simply not possible to know exactly what's needed up-front and the software or website needs to evolve as it's being built. This means that you can make the final decisions about a piece of software or a website based on the experience of actually having used it. Range of Experience Our background enables us to better understand people's businesses and the business problems that bespoke solutions must solve. We can handle a whole project from initial briefing and client meetings through to installation.  Many companies and software developers only work with the programming portion of a project. Continuous Commitment If you hire some companies, or a plain, typical contractor to develop your software, they will probably disappear at the end of the project. We're always on hand to add new features or make changes. Support Contracts To give a client assurance in their new software, system or website, we can provide a Development Support Contract.  This gives the client extra confidence that, as the original developer, we will be available to deal with any problems or bugs if they arise post-development and post-deployment. Cost Effectiveness If you hire a contractor to develop software on your site, you have to pay for all their time and their deskspace. We only charge for the time we actually spend working on your project. If you want or need to take some time trying out your software before adding more features, you won’t be paying for us to sit around.
