virtualInferno will always examine your company's needs to present you with a wide range of solutions. virtualInferno stands by its commitment to flexible applications with flexible pricing. We allow our clients to pick and choose features as they see fit and eliminate those that are not wanted. Solutions are available for companies in need of a small application who are working on a tight budget. Similarly, if you are in search of a robust system and have a large customer base that is ready for an Internet revolution, then we offer very competitive pricing using the most up-to-date technologies.
// Database & Web Application Development
On the right-hand side of this page we have listed all of the technologies with which we have experience. Every website is unique and thus requires individual attention . virtualInferno uses their knowledge of each language to develop a specialized plan for your website. Depending on size, functionality, and potential usage of the site we come to a decision on many factors such as language, database (if needed), and hosting requirements.
We also delve into the different areas that your site will have, offering flexibility on all accounts and allowing the client to choose which ones are the most important and the most affordable. We adapt to each account and build the site from the ground up using a combination of virtualInferno's pre-developed modules and custom coding.
virtualInferno has extensive experience in developing relational database systems including everything from simple feedback collection forms to robust e-commerce business applications. By making a concerted effort to understand your business the end result is always scalable and flexible.
// Search Engine Optimization
virtualInferno's experts work with your company and the copy you develop for your website to maximize search engine effectiveness. Most clients do not realize the importance of matching website content to search keywords therefore virtualInferno assists each customer in producing effective content. We are also very proficient in the English language and offer editing services for your content. This, in combination with proper XHTML coding, as well as other practises, makes all of our sites extremely search engine-friendly. Clients like Dearborn County EDI and McMillen Creative have benefitted greatly from our search engine optimization service and consistently place in the top 10 for many relevant searches.
// Extreme Development
virtualInferno follows the "Extreme" software development life cycle. With short focused meetings at the beginning of the web application creation process we are able to build an accurate model of what your final website should look like and how it should perform. That data is taken to our drawing board and we aim to turn something over to you in a matter of days. After the initial push we work with the client on a daily (if not hourly) basis collecting feedback and adjustments as we move forward to completion. This process allows our developers to consistently work on your project without interruption and speeds up the turnaround time dramatically. During this time we are able to perfect our programming and data models and tweak them as necessary so we are not tasked with major fixes and time consuming modifications late in the game. You receive a full working model before the competition would have had a chance to meet with you in the first place.
// Professional Design
To ensure that the product we deliver fulfills your company's vision, we involve a professional design and marketing firm in the creation of your website or web application. This allows virtualInferno to concentrate on developing the technical details of the system while the design team can concentrate on graphic design and user interaction. This helps keep the layers of the site separate and allows each team to excel in their specialization. Inter-disciplinary meetings (which include the client and both teams) are held to induce creativity and to generate differing opinions and ideas. The result is a thoughtful and well-balanced solution.
// Other Systems
virtualInferno has experience in many different styles of integration, from SSL encrypted e-commerce sites, to those which uses services like PayPal to handle shopping carts and secure check-out. And if there's something you want to use that we aren't familiar with, WE'LL LEARN IT.
We also deal with bulletin board software like Invision Power Board (IPB) and phpBB. Installing the system, performing maintenance and security updates, as well as integrating new skins and modifications are all features we are familiar with.
// Training
In every situation virtualInferno provides our clients with a maintenance package. At the very least the package will contain simple HTML editing instructions and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) usage. However, we tailor the instructions depending on the type of site you have and what kind of training your company requests.
If your system uses a database then we develop online administration areas which allow you to perform updates simply by filling out forms. Additionally, we can provide training on updating PHP or ASP/ASP.NET template pages if they were used for your site.
If your website does not utilize a database or web programming language and only simple XHTML, then we offer Macromedia Contribute training or HTML text editing training in a variety of formats. On-site hands-on training is one possibility but we can also supply training manuals which outline how to perform specific tasks.
