Dynamic Mapping

It's quick, easy and inexpensive (if you know how). One of the biggest advances over the last few years has been the ability for anybody to gather longitude and latitude information and then plot it onto maps. If you're not already doing it then contact us to find out how you can.

Search Engine Optimization

For most websites, being accessible to Google is probably the most important requirement. The only way that this can be done is to make it carefully thought out and integrated part of your website. If anybody phones up offering to get you to the top of the search engine rankings for a few hundred pounds, don't believe them.

Collaboration Tools

The ability to work on the same documents, build specifications together, build projects together, share ideas and collaborate are essential for modern business. Effective collaboration is at the core of every project that we work on and we use a variety to tools and skill-sets to facilitate this.

Publishing

We have been working with magazine distributors since the earliest days of the Internet to sell British magazines both locally in the UK and around the world. If you're after a fully integrated stock control and automatic ordering system or something as simple as data feed integration then look no further.

International

The World is getting smaller by the day and the ability to work at a desk thousands of miles away is something we've been doing for years. Why let the logistics of getting from A to B get in the way of getting the software solutions you need when everything from meetings to deployment can be done remotely?

Software Development Pricing

While software and web development can overlap extensively, if you are looking for a 'simple' website, our website pricing guide may be more appropriate to you. Either way, feel free to contact us to discuss your software requirements.

Method of pricing

For well-defined projects we are happy to provide a fixed price quote for meeting objectives, with stage payments at agreed milestones.

If the project is more open ended we will work on an hourly rate and provide access to a collaboration tool that enables the client to track costs in detail and request work

In providing an hourly rate we recognise that it begs the question ‘how much can you get done in an hour?’

Productivity

With over 15 years of experience we have built libraries of software code and tools that we are comfortable with using which can solve software problems that a less experienced team will waste days failing to solve. Our aim is to create elegant solutions that are sufficiently well documented to enable a fellow professional to follow the logic. We also work closely with clients to make sure that the output does not drift away from the brief as we get into the detail. (See our Agile Manifesto)

Hourly rate

Standard Rates
Emergency work	£155/hr	One-off emergency help & support
One-off projects	£125/hr	Scheduled several weeks in advance
Priority work	£110/hr	Regular intermittent clients scheduled in advance
Ongoing regular work	£85/hr	We give priority to our regular clients that have an ongoing programme of work undertaken each month.

Normal business hours are 9.00am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday excluding public holidays.

Method of working

We have implemented a service that tracks all outstanding work requests and the time spent on each of them. This is accessible both by us and by our clients, and becomes a key part of the process for tracking progress and setting priorities for work undertaken.
