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.
• Ruby on Rails
  Rails development using Ruby is an ever more popular means of building and deploying websites quickly and effectively. State of the art AJAX features can be implemented in your site to give your visitors a more polished experience.
• 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.
• 2D Illustration & 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.
• 3D Graphis & Animation
  Logos or promotional graphics don't need to be flat! Fingermouse can model, render and animate your logo, office or just about anything to use on your website or in offline publicity.
• HTML, XHTML & 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.
