Web applications
By robbie, posted about 2 years ago. 0 comment(s).
Lead programmer Robbie Lewis joined Internet Essentials almost two years ago and has helped us develop the skills required to build some pretty sophisticated web applications.
Web applications (or web apps as they are more commonly referred to) are complex pieces of software that run from within a user’s web browser. In recent years the use of these applications has soared amongst businesses as they look move their internal business systems onto the web or provide customers with additional services.
Systems such as sales management software and customer relationship managers are typical examples of applications that would traditionally be developed as desktop applications or Microsoft Access databases to be run on individual machines in the office.
The primary benefit of moving these applications onto the web is that they become accessible from anywhere – at home or in the office, even on your laptop or mobile phone. This development can change the way your business works! All of sudden your employees aren’t confined to using a single PC to manage their work.
Here are some of the web applications that we’ve developed recently.
1st Class Hygiene Prospect Bank (Sales management software)
Prospect Bank allows 1st Class Hygiene to manage their sales force on a day to day basis. It manages each salesman’s work flow, maintains up to date information on all of their individual accounts as well as providing statistical data and logging user activity for analysis by the management.
White-label writing competition application for Writelink.co.uk
We developed a simple web application for popular creative writting community Writelink.co.uk which allowed the site owner to quickly deploy themed competitions on the website.
The system allows visitors to submit entries into a given competition for a small fee which are then published instantly. Visitors to the website can vote for their own favourites and this automatically generates a top 10 list of the most popular entries. The final winner is chosen by hand and awarded a cash prize.
The system has proved very successful with the community and we have since been asked to develop a variant of the application that allows for music-based competitions where users upload MP3 files.
