We use a combination of the following tools and technologies to build web sites:
- ASP.NET 2.0. Much faster than classic ASP, ASP.NET can dramatically improve the performance and quality of our customer’s dynamic web applications.
- XHTML 1.0 Strict and XHTML 1.1 is used for Web Standards compliant code on all pages. Our web applications are built to adhere to current Web Standards and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
- Cascading Style Sheets Level 2 is used to control all aspects of document presentation. Tables are used for their original purpose only: that is, displaying tabular data and not for presentation or page layout purposes.
- SQL Server 2005 databases are used to manage the content. SQL Server 2005 delivers a highly secure and reliable backend system to manage mission-critical data.
By using a combination of these, as well as other technologies such as AJAX, we are firmly positioned to provide our customers with high quality, dependable, and fast-loading web and software applications.
