Java & Tomcat Group
The worlds most popular programming container
People often mistake the word "java" to mean the checkered "java applet" plugin that has had a bad run of late, in terms of its issues with browsers and security. However in the industry Java means, Java on the server. This is a totally different thing. Java on the server is the worlds most popular programming language and environment. Its got a serious track record for delivering highly secure scale-able platforms as it is a true language in every regard. Java also happens to power the vehicles on Mars. Its more efficient with server resources if used properly and can allow your server hardware to achieve very efficient and cost effective levels of performance. http://tomcat.apache.org/

We are in no better time for web standards as all major browsers are now standards compliant. We have a special involvement with those who work on the Accessibility standards and those that champion these important standards. We are also, in our own right, experts in accessibility, specifically the WCAG 2.0 AA standard - with specific regard to it being implemented within responsive websites.

Some of our skills
Concepting & Planning 95%Our Mission & Philosophy
To create results for our customers that really deliver and allow them to grow their businesses.
It's without doubt the most commonly overlooked principle for the website. Many think the website is here to make us look good, support our brand, keep us in line with our competition. We beg to differ. Your website, web project or App should be here to deliver beyond ordinary, into extraordinary. For a small business this can mean your new website picks you up many more customers and adds value to your bottom line in increased sales, or gets you access to markets you could not otherwise reach.
For a community organisation it can mean increasing your membership base over time. Helping you bring your message to your audience in a way that drives action and participation.
Everytime you think about improving or upgrading your website, you should be thinking goals, audience, engagement, storytelling, customer growth, customer action, increased sales. Have high goals and standards and strive with the right partner towards achieving your goals.
