Our New Website

Posted: 08/01/2009 - 13:16

Our new website is almost ready for launch. The main build is complete and we are just going through the process of entering all the content into the content management system. We’re still a few days away from the formal launch, but to whet your appetite here is a small teaser of what is coming:

PureRSS Released for Android

Posted: 04/12/2008 - 16:07

We have just made PureRSS (surprisingly enough an RSS reader) available for alpha testing on the android marketplace - following the "Release early, release often" mantra. We welcome any and all feedback, and aim to make point release upgradesPureRSS is an application and background service that trawls RSS and Atom feeds that you subscribe to every few minutes, alerting you as and when new posts are available.As this is an alpha release there are further features that we will be adding over...

Developing for Android

Posted: 18/11/2008 - 16:10

We’ve just completed our first commercial mobile phone application, a relatively straight forward tech demo providing an image slide-show with accompanying text, with links through to associated web pages! This is an exciting new avenue for us, one which we feel could be a significant market player over the next 12 months.

Several lenders have closed their door to new business, such as First Plus. As a result of this, we’ve decided to go back to our roots, and switch focus from web-based CRM systems and B2B solutions to...

Website Redesign

Posted: 03/10/2007 - 16:14

It’s been quite an adventure redesigning our own website - going through the same stages of development that we ask our customers to go through. The functionality requirements have been specified and, most importantly, the website wireframes are now complete. This means that we have a concrete idea of the page layout and content that can be passed to the graphic designers ready for their creative input. I cannot stress the importance of wireframing a website before committing to a...
