Custom Web Development

At Arbre Media, our qualified team has experience developing applications for various industries, including financial, mining and retail. This experience has given us expertise in managing all stages of project development, from requirement gathering through to deployment, to ensure any project is completed within budget.

We specialise in concept design and engineering as well as advanced web-based application development using the following techniques.

• Use of an agile development approach to accommodate evolving needs and user feedback.
• Intuitive user interface design, greatly reducing the amount of support required and the time needed for users to learn the system. This results in significant operating cost reduction.
• Optimised interfaces ensuring the best possible experience for users across different browsers, computer platforms and with varying accessibility needs.
• Thorough and straight-forward documentation to support the system.
• Performance optimisation and scalability, allowing the system to handle growth efficiently.
• Backward compatibility so that the system is functional when used in older browsers or with javascript disabled. This allows for the system to accommodate different user types.
• Integration of informative reporting to give users a quick view of system statistics.
• Optimised graphic design intended to give a level of visual sophistication.
• Search engine optimisation and management for marketing and public relation purposes.

Technical Aspects:

• Use of either the .NET platform with C# and MSSQL or PHP and MySQL. We can discuss the needs of your application to determine which technologies would be most suitable.
• Use of AJAX and jQuery within the interface to enhance the user experience through increased responsiveness.
• Caching, SSL, and other programmatic encryption including code compilation for deployment. This will accommodate any security needs.
• Normalised and indexed database design.
• Code written in a well organised and modular style, using a multi-tiered architecture, to ensure that it can be easily maintained by our team or other programmers, if necessary.
• Web services developed or consumed for system integration, where the systems to be integrated allow for this.
• Logging for auditing purposes.
• Systems developed as a multi-tenant application, allowing for it to be hosted centrally with multiple site instances, or deployed and hosted separately if required.
