PHP Development and Consultancy

PHP Consultancy

We provide on-demand PHP consultancy for customers; this may consist of just once-per-year visits and reviews or monthly meetings to discuss progress and developments. Examples of what we do are :

  • Auditing of existing systems to highlight weak areas such as security, performance or potential maintainability issues.
  • Assist in the design of software.
  • Suggest improvements for design, architecture, development techniques and practices
  • Call on our training expertise to provide focussed assistance for fast, efficient problem solving and explanation
  • Emergency help and backup - perhaps your in-house developer is on holiday, and error messages appear on the website? We can provide developer resources to track down and fix particular bugs, or solve urgent problems

PHP Application Development

We normally take responsibility for the entire design and deployment of a web application, however some customers may have graphical design expertise in house, or a developer who doesn't have the time to take on a larger project alone.

Zend Certified Engineers

All our developers are Zend Certified Engineers (PHP5). We have first hand experience developing and maintaining applications in a range of areas such as e-commerce (online shops), invoicing/quotation, reporting, data warehousing, bulk mailing and more.

Open Source Solutions

We use various Open Source tools and frameworks like Drupal (PHP), The Zend Framework (PHP) and will use other languages if we feel they are a better fit - for example Django (Python)

Open Source software ensures there are no long term license compliance issues, and provides you with the ability to change the software at will in the future.

Requirements Specification

We will generally require some form of requirements specification to start work on a project - this may be something we create alongside you, or something you provide - this may range from a number of screenshots to a 50 page listing of business rules depending on the project.

Past Projects

Past projects range from migration of legacy thick client solutions to web based interfaces, maintenance and support of third party ecommerce applications to creation of a web crawling robot to help provide marketing statistics.

We enjoy challenges and look forward to hearing about yours!
