Flat Rock Technology – Full service details

We like to be transparent. Here’s everything you need to know about our popular Flat Rock Technology service.   

Fixed Price Projects - Our fixed-price service delivers a fully customised bespoke package. We take responsibility for completing your project on time, on spec and to budget. If your budget’s fixed, you’ve mapped out the functional and technical requirements and you’ve decided a go live date, our fixed price deal will suit you perfectly.

Together we’ll create a comprehensive specification of project deliverables and compile a detailed project plan against which to measure progress. Because we calculate the total price based on the precise amount of development effort required, we avoid the risk of overspending.

Time and Material – Some of our clients operate in a dynamic environment. Their demand for development resources varies significantly from one month to the next. The scope of their projects can’t always be precisely defined in advance and often change.

Our time & material approach delivers vital flexibility. You employ and control a team of software specialists on an as-needed basis. An invaluable help when you need to respond quickly to shifting priorities and workload.

Time & Material is especially valuable if you’re in charge of multiple projects running at the same time.

We take responsibility, with our partners, for completing project tasks on time in accordance with established best practices.

Extended Team – Our Dedicated Team option gives you access to a team of specialists whose expertise and experience corresponds directly with your project’s requirements. Choose this option and you’ll specify the structure of the team, select and recruit the members, train them to use your tools and manage them remotely. A new and creative approach that reduces development costs whilst building useful long term development expertise offshore.

Design - Our website designers are innovative and creative, experts at interpreting client needs.  Whether you want a fresh logo design, a hard working web page design or eye catching effects, we design with best practice in mind using state of the art tools. We’ll make sure your site enjoys high usability and optimised navigation – all part of the process.

Web Hosting – If your host goes down, your website will disappear. Hosting must be robust.  We work with trusted UK hosting organisations to make sure you get the best solution for your needs.

Web Development - We deliver projects of all sizes, approaching each with a suitable level of carefully tailored creativity. We believe strongly that all websites should be fit for purpose as well as scalable and easy to manage.

Brochure site solution - Our marvellously simple brochure site solution includes an intuitive, comprehensive Content Management System (CMS) so you can manage your sites' content and pages with ease and flair. We’ve embedded an analytic package within our CMS that’ll help you understand and analyse traffic statistics.

eCommerce - Our slick, highly functional eCommerce solutions can also be tailored carefully to suit your needs. Everything from simple open source eCommerce websites to enormously complex sites integrated with production databases. Whatever you need, our solutions are always resilient, reliable, scalable and cost effective:

•    Open Source eCommerce - if your budget is limited we’d probably recommend a good, solid open source solution (‘Open Source’ being free software). We tend to use osCommerce and Magento, both of which deliver all the functionality an eCommerce site could need including order management, checkout, inventory management, product categorisation and much more. We’ll also integrate your new ecommerce site with online payment gateways and web analytics

•    Bespoke eCommerce solution – if you have special eCommerce requirements we’d probably recommend building a bespoke system to support your unique business processes

•    Database driven eCommerce - if you want to integrate your website with your operational system (ERP, CRM) or any other database, we’ll build a specific solution to suit your needs. We’ll make sure your website is built with the most suitable technology. And we’ll ensure that the site’s architecture protects your operational system against unwanted visitors

•    Database development
