Web applications

Introduction to web site applications

Web based application is a type of computer software that is installed and executed on the web server and accessed via clients web browser. Web applications are very popular because without distributing and installing the software itself, vast amount of clients can access the services via internet.

Web based applications that we do

We build web applications based on asynchronous interactive design (Ajax technology) that allows continuous exchanging small amounts of data with the server, so that entire web page doesn't have to be reloaded with every request.

Ecommerce database software

If a searchable catalog of products (or simply images) is needed, we develop database driven web applications that consist of two parts:

Web based database management software

Needed to add, edit and remove items by logging in to a restricted area of the web site.

Searchable output for the client

Involves templates, search forms, shopping cart, product listing and detailed preview.

Real estate software

Due to large amount of dedication needed for such web application development and support, also because usually client chooses real estate property database software that allows property sharing with other members, we don't sell administrative real estate software of our own. Instead we are working with reliable real estate software providers to develop cutting edge web sites that use our content management system and internal property search implementation.

We have developed tools to automatically gather property details and images from any real estate software provider and create a separate internal database that generates internal search engine friendly pages on the site. This also gives us a flexibility to provide custom high quality web interface that is independent on real estate software used.

Content management system

A good example of a powerful web application is our web based content management software, which allows editing website's content without having any special knowledge of internal coding.

Currency converters

We have developed an interactive currency exchange calculator that contacts a third party server for current conversion rates and converts the amount of money to the currency client has required.

Mortgage applications

Mortgage calculator software is a web based application that calculates monthly fee for the loan to be paid using specific formulas and parameters (interest rate and years of loaning). We have several mortgage calculators available.

Weather forecast software

Weather forecast application contacts third party weather station to gather current weather conditions and 7 day weather forecast to display on the website. We have two distinct versions of weather forecasts available.

Our weather forecast software features advanced caching algorithm that saves the forecast values to the database and refreshes it after a period of time ensuring optimum speed of the site.

We can also develop custom web based software that is not mentioned in this page.

Internal technology

Web based applications are mostly database driven, allowing storage and manipulation of large amounts of information. Large database driven websites are based on two (sometimes even more if demand is high) web servers one of which is responsible for application tasks and the other one for database storage and manipulations.

There are two main internal parts of any web application: set of tasks to be performed on the server and interface and communication with remote user / administrator that is using a web browser. Client and server side scripting is a combination of various programming and communication technologies (such as HTML, ASP/PHP, SQL, Java Script, XML, AJAX) that assure interactive experience.
