Coding standards

coding-standards

Sophisticated CMS websites are our specialty and our focus is on clean, fast-loading code. Our developers make use of the following technologies - Java Servlets and JSP, SQL Databases, XML, CSS, Javascript, AJAX, jQuery and others.

Java based CMS

We use OpenCms as our content management system of choice. It is a powerful Java based system that is especially suited to medium and large enterprise websites. OpenCms is open source and supports advanced asset management, user management, workflow management, internationalization, content versioning, and much more.

Web standards and accessibility

We ensure our websites comply with W3C standards and are optimized for popular browsers (Internet Explorer 6 and up, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Netscape and Opera). Our websites are rigorously tested before launch and checks are built in for users with Javascript disabled. We also have expertise in building sites that comply with UK, US and Australian accessibility standards.
 

Multi-lingual support

OpenCms supports multi-lingual websites and Unicode content - it can natively handle content in international character sets, including Eastern European, Arabian and Asian languages. To date, we have built sites with the following language versions: English, Afrikaans, Sotho, Zulu, German, French, Portuguese, Hungarian and Chinese.
