We are a small, dynamic company located in Bedfordshire.
We believe that computers should be easy to access and affordable. We also feel that IT skills are a great gift, and should be shared to all, without extortionate prices.

Portfolio
We have produced a number of sites, and illustrations of what can be done within ASP and HTML with CSS.This site
This site is an example of what can be done with CSS and HTML, the transparent layout needs special javascript to make it render properly in Internet Explorer 6, we used javascript for the mouseover buttons, and all formatting uses CSS.
We have used ASP in places to speed up loading time, for example there is a central CSS file, which is written in ASP and outputs specific lines of code for differing backgrounds, we can also output differing CSS files for different browsers, as we had to do with Internet Explorer 6 in order for it to render our site correctly.
The page template is also merged with the relevant page using ASP technology, and the button options are dynamically generated for each page.Auto-Sleepers Limited
We were approached by the marketing department of Auto-Sleepers Limited as they were looking for a new company to take over maintenance of their existing website, based on CMSMadeSimple.
Using our team of skilled experts, we were able to offer guidance when they needed to update some of the product lines on offer, as well as undertaking more complex work for them. This includes creating new pages and updating the Adobe Flash product picker on their homepage.
We have also recently assisted them with the migration of their website to a different hosting company, including advising them on various hosting suppliers and which would offer the best value for money for them. We then undertook the migration of their website, including the database containing the majority of their site content, as well as domain names and various files, with minimal downtime.Famous Liners Online
Chris Marshall from FamousLinersOnline.com approached us with a view to implementing a website which could be updated more easily, as well as enabling updates to be delegated.
We established that CMS Made Simple would provide a good platform for their website, and modified their existing site design to work with CMS Made Simple.
Lidlington Church, Bedfordshire
The need to have an easily updatable site was a priority for Lidlington Church, along with the ability to send a weekly newsletter out more efficiently. Lidlington Church also expressed a desire to have a smart, professional looking website to appeal to both regular church goers and members of the local community who may be looking for events.
We determined that CMS Made Simple would provide a good platform on which to base their website, giving ease of use for updating certain elements, whilst providing a powerful engine for more advanced requirements. This allowed us to utilise the &quo;NMS&quo; add-on for CMS Made Simple, allowing a stylish weekly email to be sent from within the website.
Furthermore, RSS capabilities were added to allow the inclusion of remote content, such as Bible feeds and daily devotionals.Our team of designers delivered a stylish website utilising XHTML and CSS, along with customised graphics.

White Star Memories approached us with a view to introducing a forum onto their new website, which they requested we install and produce a layout for.
After discussing their requirements and web hosting setup with them, we determined that the free PHPBB forum was the best fit for their needs. Using the ProSilver theme designed by Tom Beddard as a base, we developed a custom theme which integrates fully with their current website design.
White Star Memories ForumHappyDays Nursery, Milton Keynes
Happy Days were looking for a simple website to give them an online presence. They anticipated few updates, so we decided a static HTML site would be the best solution. This would also reduce the hosting costs, as the nursery would not need any server side scripting as part of their package.
We produced an iframe based website for HappyDays nursery in Milton Keynes, this allows for easy updating of navigation options and page layout (outside of CSS) without needing any server side code.
All formatting is written in CSS, and the page renders fine in all browsers.Windows Domain Management Console
We developed an ASP management console using ASP, this allows an administrator or designated user to add disk space allowance, reset passwords, edit print quota and enable or disable internet access.
It also displays the status of all computers and allows them to be turned on and off, restarted and applications to be terminated.
We focused on the functionality rather than design, to illustrate what can be done using ASP in management situations.
This has been used extensively on our office network
