Programming

Friendly Code and Scalability

Main aspects of our programming style and ethics are:

• scalability - we put a lot of effort so that our code, database structure and file structure will work regardless of the size of the web site
• write programmer friendly code - it is important to be aware that other programmers might be using code that we write
• we do not use out of the box solutions, everything is built in-house and does not require constant maintenance
• we always develop to accommodate our customer needs, our code is always bespoke and structured to reflect the business, not to tune the business around the code
• data comes first - there is no compromise on data, we will not cut corners in order to save the time
• we use both procedural and object oriented programming styles depending on project needs

What we use

Hardware Specification Key Points

• Dedicated Server with CentOS Linux 5.3
• Intel Xeon CPU L5506 @ 2.13GHz, 4 cores
• 4GB RAM
• On-site and off-site backups

Server Software Key Points

• Apache Web Server 2.2.15
• PHP 5.2.11 as apache module
• PHP 5.3.3 as fast-cgi
• MySQL 5.1.50

The main programming language that we use is PHP, but we do take on board projects built using ASP/ASP.NET and Lasso languages.

Although we use a dedicated server shared across only our customers, we do offer a separate dedicated server for larger websites if requested.

Frameworks

• Zend Framework
