The Art (and Science) of Programming for the Web |
The World Wide Web is a new paradigm, one we only know too well. Over the last several years, we have participated in the evolution of the web, and have designed and developed websites for many businesses - websites that have been critical of their success.
What makes for a successful website? Beyond sizzling graphics, hot technologies like PHP or Java or ASP, or elaborate storefronts, successful websites are characterized by thoughtful design tailored to fit the business needs of the client.
We apply the time-tested methodologies and processes of our software development lifecycle to web application development. We ask questions. We listen. We understand your business. And we then go about our job.
The TLI Web Application Development Process |
| The process by which we custom-build applications for clients at our Offshore Development Center (ODC) has been documented here. Beyond this, what characterizes our unique approach to custom web application development is: |
 |
- True Customer Engagement - Unlike traditional media outlets, a website is the persona of the client in the virtual world. Clients may want varied uses from their web personas. We take the time to understand this. We interview our customers thoroughly and truly understand their business model, and their requirements of their website.
- Unique designs for unique clients - To standout among the millions of websites cluttering the internet, websites must be unique. We understand this, and we deliver.
- Looking over the hill - Today's hot website can become yesterday's news as Web 2.0 evolves. Businesses must incorporate ever-new offerings such as social networking and mobile clients to succeed. We have the expertise to help you keep pace.
