Recommended Third Party Software and Services

We have a policy of delivering excellent value for money for our clients. Where appropriate we make full use of third party services, software and re-usable programming code, ensuring that all the licensing requirements are fully met. In this way we can deliver complex and effective solutions very quickly and at an affordable price.

In working with our clients we have identified a number of 3rd party products they can use to enhance the solution we develop for them. Links to some of these are listed below:

Easy Content Management With Macromedia Contribute
Contribute allows clients to update their web sites easily. If you are happy using word processor products like Microsoft Word you should find Contribute easy to use. This is often a much better solution than a full-blown content management system. The web sites we design are built to be compatible with Contribute.

Live Web Stats and Chat By WhosOn
Generally the statistics service provided by our web hosting is sufficient for our clients. WhosOn, however, takes you to a higher level. The software alerts you to arriving visitors and in some versions allows you to chat with them live. Other useful features are the facilities to produce customisable reports and to store a database of your statistics history locally.
