Website Development

Shopping carts, content management and bespoke application development

Website development refers to building the functional aspects of a website or company extranet.

The most common website development requests from clients are for content management systems and shopping cart systems (and modifications to both) but we do also specialise in developing bespoke applications for websites and extranets with unique requirements.

Bespoke Development

content management

We have completed several projects for clients with unique and complex requirements for their website or company extranet and are experienced in this field. We undertake the entire process from pre-planning of the functional specification, mock-ups and wire-frames of the user interface, through to delivery and testing of the actual build.

4W generally prefer to develop in a LAMP environment (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) although if other technologies are required (eg: Ruby on Rails, Flash Actionscript) we can cater for that.
