We'll be honest with you, it really doesn't matter what technology is behind your web site. Microsoft, Linux/Unix, or Mac OSX – PHP, Java, ASP.net, XML, or AJAX – all essentially end up as the same HTML code displayed by your web browser. It won't make any difference to you or your users which web server or operating server your web site runs on, but when you consider your overall web presence all that matters is that your customers can find your site, find the information they're looking for, and then either contact you or fulfill any other needs they have from your web site.
It is imperative, however, that your web site is compatible with all modern web browsers across multiple operating systems like Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, and that everyone that visits your web site can successfully accomplish what they came there to do. Being experts in web site development and marketing we are fully aware of the technologies available to use in your site, and based on your requirements and specifications we use the technology that is best suited for your project. Our staff work proficiently on Microsoft Windows as well as Apple Macintosh and Linux environments. This means that your web site will be tested and work flawlessly in all modern web browsers, platforms, and web-enabled devices.
If you do have any technology requirements, you can rest-assured that we are comfortable in a range of technologies having worked with common Linux-based technologies such as PHP, MySQL, and Apache – but we also work proficiently in Microsoft-based technologies such as ASP.net, SQL Server, Windows Server, and Internet Information Services (IIS). Some of our clients have systems hosted internally that have pre-existing technology requirements and we're able to meet those expectations every time.
