Technology

Our technology partner is Powder Blue who predominantly use open source software and were one of the first UK companies producing L-A-M-P (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP) commercial web applications. They also have in house expertise in SOAP, Flash, ASP, JSP and more; giving their clients a full range of options in terms of software delivery.

Web Page EditorTheir philosophy towards technology is to be 'leading edge' not 'bleeding edge'. They invest a significant percentage of their annual revenue on hardware and software upgrades to ensure that performance levels are sustained and improved for new and existing clients.

Their expertise is also not limited to just PC hardware either. They've designed and built webcams for the likes of Vodafone and Merinet.Com - including several heavy-duty, environmentally-protected units for outdoor use in the Alps!

They out-source their hardware support and maintenance to Designer Servers (DSVR) who are an innovative and steadily expanding UK company, providing an excellent level of support. By placing the hosting in the hands of the experts they ensure that you get the best possible service, whilst freeing themselves to concetrate on the software requirements of your site.

By combining the power of the L-A-M-P architecture and the wide-ranging skills of our programming team, Powder Blue are able to push the limits of what your website can do for you business. Already our software routes taxis around France, fills high-powered positions in the international Commodities and Energy markets, makes restaurant reservation in other countries, sends text messages to your mobile phone, sells tickets for some of the UK's top comedians and collects customer data ... and they're always keen for a new challenge.

In addition to innovative custom functionality they can provide a wide array of more standard features such as shopping carts, secure payments, bulletin boards. Even if you simply want your site as an advert for your business they can offer a range of database driven, dynamic content solutions to suit your needs. These facilities give you control of your own site using a custom built on-line interface - making the site more responsive and saving you both time and money by removing the need to employ a programmer for every minor update.
