Web Applications

A Web application is an application that is accessed via a browser over a network such as the Internet or an intranet.

Web applications are popular due to the ability to update and maintain without distributing and installing software on potentially thousands of client computers. In the past web applications were considered inappropriate for business critical services due to worries about Internet connection reliability and user interface issues. Today's web applications have overcome these problems and are by far the most economical and powerful choice of platform for large multi-user systems. Web applications have been used to implement business critical database applications, online retail sales, online auctions, wikis, discussion boards, Weblogs, MMORPGs and many other functions.

DCSL specialise in the development of web applications using Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0-3.5 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

> Unique Applications
There are many applications that already exist as ‘off-the-shelf’ solutions. This means that another software development company or organisation has developed software to sell it as a package for a license fee, without charging for the time it took to create the software from scratch. Examples of off-the-shelf software include word processors and spreadsheet applications. However, it is often the case that off-the-shelf software either doesn't have a particular feature or function that the user requires it to do or it has too many features, leaving the user baffled by the number of options available to them.

Unique or Bespoke applications are custom built to the user’s exact requirements delivering everything you need. However, more often than not creating software solutions in this way is very expensive and time consuming.

DCSL’s approach is different. By using a combination of off-the-shelf software, our own code library and bespoke development we can produce a hybrid solution that is not only more cost effective, but requires less development time than the conventional approach. Our aim is to provide you with a solution that fits your requirements exactly.
