Web Applications Unleashed!

A web application is a software application that is accessed through a web browser, either on the Internet or on an intranet. Many applications that were traditionally desktop software applications installed on the user's own machine are now being converted to web applications.

There are several reasons for this. Firstly, web applications can easily be accessed by occasional users without the hassle of installing software. There is no barrier to usage as with desktop applications. Secondly, web applications are easier to administer. There is a controlled version of the application on one central server, so when the software needs to be updated it must be changed in just one place. This is far easier than upgrading tens, hundreds or thousands of installed desktop applications, and also ensures that everyone uses the same version of the application.

You might want a web application to browse the contents of a database, for example to see which houses are for sale on the website of an estate agent; or you might want to display some scientific or business analytical data, such as monitoring share prices on the stock exchange. You might want a shopping cart on your website to sell your products, or a place where users can collaborate by exchanging messages, discussions or ideas.

We build web applications to your requirements. We use the very latest technologies such as Tapestry, Hibernate, and AJAX and are not restricted to any particular business sector.
