Services
OK, forgive us while we get a little technical....
 
We offer three main services;
  1. Custom Software Development/Support
  2. Web Site Development
  3. Web/Mail Hosting
Custom Software Development/Support
If you require software for a specific purpose, either for in house use, or for country-wide (or international) use, we can provide you with a tailor-made solution. Our main development platform/language is Microsoft's .NET, although other languages can be used if required by you. Systems we have been involved in developing with this language include Frieght Management systems, Parts Catalogues (complete with parts images zoom tools), complex content management systems and custom accounting packages. Some of those systems have been in use at places such as TVNZ and Fliway. Prices are dependant on the requirements of the job. Normal procedure is to create a specification document that we then review and estimate off accordingly. If a 'spec' document is needed, we can create that too. It can then be used to obtain quotes from others if you like.
 
Web Site Development
Cliff has been involved in the creation of over 60 web sites. They range from the first release of TVNZ's NZoom site, through to the current Disagnostic Med Lab web site (which contains a very thorough content management system). Cliff creates web sites in a bunch of different languages, including .NET, PHP, ASP and Cold Fusion. Cliff is also familiar with the following database technologies: SQL, MySQL and Microsoft Access. Databases are the key to allowing your web site to be updated by you - without needing to know how to code for the web. As with software work, the general procedure is to provide us with a specification document that we can then provide an estimate from. Generally speaking, no job is too big or too small.
 
Web/Mail Hosting
We provide standard web and mail hosting for most of our web and software clients. Many of our clients decide to shift all their internet related services over to us as it allows for a central point of contact for all the different services. Pricing varies dependant on the services provided. Contact us if you'd like to discuss your requirements. We cannot promise you that we are the cheapest, but you may find that the convenience outweighs the 5/month you might save with a bigger player.....
