Technology

We pride ourselves on using the latest technology available to build all of our systems.

Front-end web development: Utilize only W3C compliant HTML / CSS, Javascript / DHTML, XML / XSL, SML, and RSS. We handwrite all code for maximum efficiency.

Back-end programming: Utilize PHP and MySQL for dynamically driven websites and applications. Using only open-source code increases security, reliability, functionality, and development capabilities.

Creative Development: Design high quality original artwork and music for license-free content. We use Photoshop 8, Blender, Gimp, Macromedia Flash MX, Swift 3D, Acid Pro, Sonic Foundry, among other specialty programs.

Server Technology: We host on ultra-reliable web servers running FreeBSD that are located on a backbone carrier network in Manhattan. We have a direct relationship with our hosting company, BQ Internet, allowing us to build applications that require specialized server functionality.

We NEVER use off-the-shelf programs or script to build our web systems. Other web development companies employ the help of such programs as Microsoft FrontPage or Macromedia Dreamweaver to build front ends. These programs limit development options and produce very inefficient code. On the backside, we do not use ASP, .Net, Cold Fusion, or Microsoft Access. These scripts and accompanying proprietary database technology are limiting, unstable, insecure, and difficult to scale.
