Development

hum develops bespoke web sites to meet the needs of your business. We are very passionate about web development and always strive for perfection.

In the early stages of a project we will help you to define your requirements and then produce a plan tailored to your needs. Our skill and experience lets us write great eCommerce, Content Managed, Database driven and Private web sites.

Accessibility is always at the heart of all our developments, helping to make your site available to more users and Search Engines, as well as all manner of browsers and devices.

As well as building your site we can design and market it for you, and even help you with rebranding.

Search Engine Optimisation

hum build's web sites in such a way as to optimise your position in search results. Our web sites use smart URLs and well structured mark up to assist search engines indexing the pages. Our commitment to web standards and accessibility helps us provide this structured markup that is so important to search engines.

All sections in your site will include special, hidden meta data than can be read by the search engine. If you have a Content Managed web site, then you are able to update this meta data at any time.

hum can also advise you on the use of services such as Google Adwords and other online advertising that can help drive traffic to the website, aswell perform advanced Search Engine Optimisation and consultancy for new and existing web sites.

Quality Insurance and Testing

The hum Quality Policy is to provide products and services, which meet a well defined need use or purpose that fully satisfy our Customers expectations at competitive prices.

The hum Management System has been developed so that it provides a structure for establishing and reviewing the quality objectives that have been set for hum products.

The Management System is also communicated to and understood throughout the hum organisation, being reviewed regularly in order to ensure its continuing suitability and to improve its ongoing effectiveness.

All hum products will be produced within this Management System to ensure compliance with all the applicable standards and specifications including statutory and regulatory requirements.

Application Framework

We have built up an extensive library of tried and trusted code, we can combine and customise these modules in any number of ways. This gives us a great advantage compared to other web development agencies.

At the core of almost all the web sites we develop is the hum web application framework. This framework provides a solid, secure foundation for our web sites and makes them very easy to extend and customise as your needs change. Our framework increases the useful life of your web site.

The framework handles core tasks that most web sites are likely to require, such as authentication, database access, caching, image manipulation and templates.
