Technologies
Python
Most of our development is done using Python and Python based tools. Python is a language that is simple to write and maintain, yet powerful and scalable to large applications. Additionally, there are lots of available modules to perform almost every common task you might want in your application. For you that means that the development takes less time (because we reuse components instead of writing from scratch), is cheaper, and of better quality (because we use standard and proved modules instead of reinventing the wheel).
Some companies which are top of their industries use Python, for example Google, Industrial Light&Magic, Nokia and Rackspace.
Django
Django is a Python tool to create web-based applications with a database backend. It's a tool which allows us to provide you with a rapid development of complex, scalable applications. With Django we can combine the user simplicity of using the browser to access the application (no installation or upgrade hassles, free cross-platform portability, a known interface for end users) combined with the power of Python to make your application do whatever you need instead of being "just a web site". Django can be used to make a public site accessible to your clients/users, an intranet application to be used inside your organization, or both at the same time, so changes in your organization are exposed to the public in a secure and controlled way.
Some relevant sites made with django are EveryBlock and The Ars Technica Job Board. Well known applications are Satchmo (an e-commerce platform) and Pinax (a social networking framework).
Plone
Plone is an Open Source, Python+Zope based Content Management System. It is one of the most featureful, flexible and secure CMSs that you can get. It is also very extensible, so it can be adapted to fit your specific needs. Plone provides a very easy to use interface for content managers, and a professional looking and standard compliant frontend to its users. You can use it to power both intranet and extranet sites.
Plone is used by government agencies like NASA, NATO and some UN sites and by companies like Nokia and eBay; it is also the CMS of choice of well known NGOs like Oxfam International and the Free Software Foundation.
Drupal
Drupal is a PHP based Content Management System. It's very affordable to maintain and deploy, while being secure and having search engine friendly URLs. It has a large community support, including a large number of add-ons which can be used to customize your site, and to customize the look of your site with minimal cost and effort.
Drupal is used in prominent web sites like Yahoo Research, Portland State University and MTV uk.
