We use a variety of tools to develop web pages for our clients, the tools used to develop this web-site include:

Joomla

Joomla is a content management system (CMS) platform that alllows the user to publish and edit content on a web-site. It has several components including RSS, Blogs, polls, wikis and searches and is written in PHP.

The advantage with using Joomla is that after the site has been created, any inexperienced user can then change web text or manage visitor input (such as our 'leave us a message' page) without the need for a web designer.

Jquery

JQuery is a lightweight library that provides interaction between Javascript and HTML. It allows the developer to create highly sophisticated affects and dynamic web pages.

JQuery is used in many of today's largest websites.

PHP

PHP is an open source scripting language especially suited to web and application development. PHP was originally designed for dynamic web pages and it now focuses on server side scripting (where the processing is performed on the web server, sending the resulting data to the computer).

PHP is used in many of the world's largest web-sites including Facebook, Wikipedia and Yahoo

MySQL

MySQL is a relational database management system that stores and manages the data in a web page. The database also contains triggers, stored procedures and backup to ensure clean data and recovery if the database should become corrupt (on very rare occasions)

MySQL is used in some of the busiest databases used on the web, including Facebook, Wikipedia and Google.

CSS

Cascading style sheets allow consistency in the web pages. They contain the layout for each page providing flexibility and control of the presentation of each page.

CSS specification is maintained by the World Wide Consortium (W3C)

Javascript

Javascript allows the development of a more dynamic and rich user interface for the web site. Examples are consistent pop up boxes or data validation before it is submitted to the database.

Validated by W3C

The site has been validated by W3C, W3C is the international standards organisation for the world wide web. in addition to a central standard organisation, it also provides education, develops software and serves as an open forum for the web.
