Frequently Asked Questions


What Technologies Do You Use?

We use the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack to build the majority of our sites and software, sometimes these arent the best choice, so we work with other technologies. We are not bound to a specific solution, we are able to use whatever technology generates the biggest benefits for you - the client.
