Design Services
Whether starting from an existing company brand or creating a new look from scratch, Fingermouse can help. When starting from an existing brand, the site will be designed to maintain a look that is consistent with your existing literature or publicity material.
When starting a design from scratch, the normal procedure is to meet and discuss exactly what kind of look the client has in mind. A number of initial suggestions are made based on extensive research and customer feedback. The process is then one of narrowing down the choices or developing existing ideas until a final design has been approved.
Development Services
The Fingermouse development process normally involves connecting a visual front-end to a back-end that functions efficiently and quickly. Sites can be based on existing template structures but normally the website will be created from scratch, with a structure specifically designed for the purpose.
The initial site design process always takes further development into account so that the site can be expanded at a later date without major disruption.
Specific Skills & Technologies
If you've got a specific requirement and you don't see it listed below, please get in touch - Fingermouse can help.
- PHP
Full development of sites using PHP as a back-end scripting language. PHP is an open-source technology with a wide user base and proven security record. It can integrate easily with other technologies and is easily expanded. - MySQL
An open-source SQL database, MySQL integrates well with PHP and is easily installed on servers. It's used in thousands of sites around the world to enable anything from simple feedback forms to full database-driven websites with interactive content. - Flash & Actionscript
For interactive content or advanced visuals, Flash content can be employed to create an impact. Flash can also integrate with a PHP or MySQL implementation to create data-driven content or to provide additional functionality to your site. Actionscript is similar to Javascript and controls data flow within a Flash application. - Javascript
Creating interactive content on a page is made easier with Javascript which can open new windows, create 'rollover' graphics or parse user input client-side without having to send the form content to the server. - Graphics & Photography
From original logos to full user interface development, Fingermouse can come up with the goods. Not only will your site look good, but with a complete knowledge of the site's back-end functionality, the front-end will integrate seamlessly. Product photos can be taken professionally and royalty-free images can be produced from scratch for use on your site. - HTML & CSS
Coding a page to be standards-compliant is important to make sure that as many people as possible are able to view your pages as you intend. Building HTML/XHTML/XML code from the ground up and creating customised stylesheets allows content to be both flexible and accessible. - Secure Shopping & Transactions
Shopping cart systems can be developed from scratch, and secure payment implemented with a number of well-known merchant account providers or built from your requirements. Encrypted data transfer can be set up and configured to meet your needs if you have sensitive data that needs protecting. - Perl / CGI
Development of server-side scripts written in Perl allows feedback forms, guestbooks, forums or other interactive elements to be simply dropped into an existing site. CGI scripts are easily transferred between servers and are readily modified. - ASP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion, Java
If you have your own preference or a site already built using ASP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion or so on then Fingermouse can help. Skills in specific scripting languages or techniques are available directly through Fingermouse, so don't worry if you don't see your specific system listed above.
