Web development has evolved beyond novices.
Modern websites have become as rich and sophisticated as desktop applications. The skillsets required can rarely be met by individual freelancers or non-specialist teams. We take care of all levels in-house, from user-interfaces, server-side scripting, database design and maintenance, to hosting setup and maintenance.
- From static sites to web-applications:
- Our services include simple PSD to HTML generation, right up to complex web applications. (And everything in between)
- If you need some guidance on what's possible, give us a call. Website's can be more than just brochures; the possibilities may surprise you!
- Search engine optimisation: All coding is not created equal.
- Websites must now be built to coding standards such that they are easily indexed by search-engines such as google.
Novice developers usually fall far short of these standards. If the site cannot be found via search, it may as well not exist.

- Content management. Websites updates should not be inconvenient or expensive.
- Many companies will either provide no CMS, or use their own proprietary CMS when building sites. With the former,
updates are both an expensive and inconvenient; the development company must be contacted and paid for every update.
With the latter, a proprietary CMS, one can easily exhaust the feature-set on offer. - bpages are experts in using scalable, community CMS solutions such as drupal, together with its own proprietary
technology when necessary. Drupal means we can add and remove features with ease, delving into our own technology on those
occasions when a feature has not already been made by the community. This offers you both delivery speed and cost savings.

- E-commerce for your needs. The right tool for the job.
- It's a rarity in most instances, as clients are often provided 'over-sold' or 'under-delivered' solutions that do not fit their needs.
- We are aware that there is no swiss army-knife that will solve all your problems; we'll use the right technology that we think suits your requirements.
Whether it's a simple shop in drupal, a large, multi-lingual set of stores in magento, or those rare instances when you require something truly unique,
we are focused on delivering the right solution (rather than selling the most expensive one).
- Managed hosting solutions: Hosting is everywhere; technical knowledge is not.
- If your site stops working, who is at hand to fix it?
- We offer a unique set of managed hosting packages. Your site can be hosted on anything from a simple virtual private hosting
account, a dedicated server or a scalable compute-cloud, and we will manage it; backup, solve problems and even offer minor updates.
No technology knowledge is required on the part of your organisation. - We host using a mixture of dedicated servers and compute-clouds (such as Amazon's EC2). We are experts on our systems;
host with us and we are quick to solve problems with your site if they arise.
- Lost control of your own technology?
- Freelancers and transient developers can leave you in disarray. A formerly cutting edge-application can become an enormous burden to maintain and update.
- We can 'take control' of any applications you lack the resources to manage; maintaining, updating or rebuilding if necessary.
