Fort Wayne Web Development

The Web application development has evolved from a network-based hypermedia distributed information system offering static information to a marketplace for selling and buying goods and services. The increasingly sophisticated web application development that enables this marketplace requires a technology for presenting dynamic information.

While some of our customers elect to have us build static html based web sites, others clients have realized the value of having a dynamic database driven web site that enhances their online presence and functionality. We can develop web based applications that allow you to login to your own site and update your site content.

Example Applications include:

• Custom Online Warranty Application
• Custom Online Work Order Application
• Custom Content Management Tool
• Customer Sales Leads Management
• eCommerce

Intranet / Extranet Development

Intranets and Extranets are changing the way companies communicate both within their own organizations and externally with suppliers and customers. Intranets and Extranets are proving their worth, by contributing to the bottom line through cost savings, increased sales, increased employee efficiencies.

Intranets, when properly planned and executed help the organization automate and track routine tasks faster and better - all while lowering operations and communications costs. Employees can be more efficient with up-to-the-minute data, industry news, and information at their fingertips. When combined with Extranets, Intranets are opening up new ways for business associates to communicate and operate more efficiently.

If your functional specification and information flow have not been determined yet, Bobay Web Development will help you plan your Intranet and Extranet project and then we will implement your project from the User Interface design through integration and deployment, and remain available to develop user training and enhance the Intranet or Extranet as users recommend ways to make it even more effective.

Project Scope & Service Agreement

The project scope defines what and how much you need to do, the budget, and the development schedule. We don't leap into building a Web site before we understand what you want to accomplish. The more carefully we plan, the better off you will be when we begin to build your site. A standard service agreement is drawn up for each project to ensure customer satisfaction, eliminates the possibility of unplanned costs, avoid scope creep (see "Avoiding Scope Creep" below), establish payment and deliverable deadlines, and establish clear communication.

Avoiding "Scope Creep"

"Scope creep" is the most prevalent cause of Web project failures. In badly planned projects, scope creep is the gradual but inexorable process by which previously unplanned "features" are added, content and features are padded to mollify each stakeholder group, major changes in content or site structure during site construction are made, and more content or interactive functionality than you originally agreed to create is stuffed in. No single overcommitment is fatal, but the slow, steady accumulation of additions and changes is often enough to blow budgets, ruin schedules, and bury what might have been an elegant original plan under megabytes of muddle and confusion.

Any substantial change to the planned content, design, or technical aspects of a site must be tightly coupled with a revision of the budget and schedule of the project. People are often reluctant to discuss budgets or deadlines and will often agree to substantial changes or additions to a development plan rather than face an awkward conversation with a client. But this merely postpones the inevitable damage of not dealing with scope changes rationally.

ColdFusion Programming

ColdFusion combines an extraordinarily approachable and productive scripting environment, effortless connectivity to enterprise data, and a powerful suite of built-in application services to help you rapidly build and deploy dynamic content publishing systems, self-service applications, commerce sites, and more.

The ColdFusion lange (CFML) is the one of the most advanced server-scripting language available on the Web. CFML provides a wide range of common programming constructs, a powerful function library and complete expression syntax. But because it is based on tags, CFML offers three major advantages over other server- side scripting languages. It tightly integrates with HTML and XML which makes the process of developing Web applications easier and faster. CFML provides a high level of encapsulation for complex processes, eliminating the need for excessive scripting and increasing developer productivity. Finally, CFML is easy to extend with new ColdFusion Extensions (CFX) that serve as re-usable components.
