In addition to web hosting services we offer a wide range of database and application design and development services. Whilst a number of these are identified in the appropriate section it hardly provides a complete listing of services. Client requirements generally tend to differ – even within the same “vertical” market and, whilst certain guidelines in service offerings and functionality can be presented, there is, inevitably, invariably a need to tailor services to meet the clients' business requirements.

Generally, for all development and application modification requirements, we follow a fairly strict development life-cycle. This is done to ensure that you, the client, are continually involved in the development and delivery schedule and to ensure that as a whole project costs and delivery timescales are maintained according to a pre-agreed project plan.

There is therefore no fixed “menu” of application development services and prices; your requirement may be anything from coding data export macros within Microsoft Project to remote server and database maintenance and administration for example. We do, however, in our services section, give a few guidelines as to costs by categorising hourly rates across development types. Again, this is a guideline; the final cost is generally pre-determined, and fixed, according to the development project plan. Any project plan will identify delivery milestones and payments are split on the basis of achieving each delivery milestone.
