Tools

The right tool for the right job

There is a bewildering amount of tools and technologies out there. Our advice? Forget about them.

We'll help you focus on what your site should say, look like and do. That's all that matters. Unless you have a strong preference, we'll take care of the teccie bits.

We like CakePHP

Up and running in hours, not months

Our preferred tool is the CakePHP Framework, which is built on PHP. CakePHP is simple to deploy, fully featured and we're experts at it.

Cake PHP

What this means is that you can have a couple of basic information pages, a few simple forms and a database up and running in hours, not months.

Now you're in business, and we have the time to work with you on the more fancy, complex and detailed things you want your site to do.

This site is built on CakePHP, by the way.
