development
Our aim is to create well-crafted web applications that meet the business needs of our clients.
We follow agile development practices, working alongside the client throughout the development lifecycle, to provide prototyping, in-flight review and feedback.
Our framework of choice is Ruby on Rails, allowing the complex applications that we build to be completed faster, use less code and be easier to maintain and grow in the future. For simpler or less demanding projects, our ‘traditional’ skillsets of perl or php coupled with MySQL databases may be more appropriate. We can advise once we understand your requirements.
Be aware that many salesmen will try to shoehorn a client’s requirements into generic, off-the-shelf packages. This is fine if it works for you, but so often the cost is too many compromises.
Ultimately, we are here to bring your ideas to fruition. Whether it is a complex ecommerce shopping site, database analysis and reporting, on-the-fly pdf or graphic generation or scheduling tools, WhiteSpectre is ready to help you develop a bespoke solution.
Many of our clients hire us for development alone. We work closely with design studios whose expertise lies within the design space and the end client benefits from a synergy of the studio’s visual flair and our technical expertise. Others want the full package from a single source and for these clients our in-house graphic designers provide creative input.To get maximum benefit from a website, it needs to be current and this is where content management systems become important. These let our clients easily update portions of their sites in a controlled fashion, delivering optimum results with minimum hassle.
