Codelegance

Codelegance specialises in developing managed bespoke website solutions for real world business problems and new enterprise. The name Codelegance is an amalgamation of the words code and elegance, so please accept our apologies if you arrived here in search of exquisite cod! So named because we are accomplished software engineers with a talent and passion for writing sophisticated web applications.

Philosophy

We like to work closely with you to create what you really want, by understanding your requirements, offering our earnest advice as web consultants and listening to your feedback.

Whilst many developers strive only to create websites that merely work, our extensive programming experience and enthusiasm for software development drives us to produce robust websites that scale well and are as reliable as they are elegant and efficient; that not only work but often surpass your expectations.

Quality

Codelegance believes that embracing the highest quality standards pays dividends for a long time to follow, which is why we incorporate best web design practices at every stage of development as standard. By always adhering to strict W3C web standards, our websites have excellent modern cross-browser compatibility, optimal search engine visibility and rankings and even better compatibility with tools designed to assist users with disability. By understanding how and what to optimize, using both established and proprietary compacting and compression techniques, we create websites that have the fastest possible page load and display times.

Security

The only way to  secure a website from malicious users is to assume that it will be attacked, which is why we assess and address security concerns for every component we create as standard. As the audience for a particular website grows, so too does the likelihood of gaining unwanted attention from unsavoury individuals. By understanding the methods hackers use to compromise websites, we are able to implement the best solutions to prevent malicious users from exploiting or degrading our systems and to safeguard your website and its data.

Codelegance provides a total web application solution. From determining your requirements to developing and designing your website, through to launching and maintenance, we can take care of all your needs from start to finish.

Websites

Codelegance creates dynamic, data-driven websites that solve your business problem or realize your exciting new idea to reach audiences as near as your local town or as far as the other side of the world. There is no limit to what we can do for you, so no matter how fantastic or simple your ideas may be, don’t hesitate to tell us about them so that we can begin transforming them into reality. Virtual reality, actually!

Requirements

The first step to creating your website is analysing your requirements to determine what you need to achieve your objectives. We create a new specification or modify a draft specification provided by you that details precisely what the website is to include and how it should be developed. This crucial step ensures that we share a mutual understanding of what is needed to satisfy your requirements and what you can expect at the end of the development cycle.

Development

This is typically where the majority of our time is spent. We transform the accepted requirements specification into the requested website. Our development work is executed on the same web server that the site is ultimately launched on to ensure that it functions consistently, but access is restricted to prevent third parties from viewing it before it’s ready. At regular intervals, working copies are duplicated at a staging site where you are invited to preview the development progress and add feedback if desired. Once a final working copy is developed and fully tested it is copied to the live system where it becomes visible to the rest of the Internet.

Design

Website design comes in two parts. The first part is the visual concept which illustrates how page elements should be laid out and presented. The second part is turning that design concept into a website layout that can be viewed and interacted with on the web. Codelegance understands web graphics and also designed this website, but as programmers first and foremost, we know where our strengths lie. That’s why we network with our design partners who specialize in producing outstanding graphics and logos to create the right look and feel for your website. Once we have a design that you like, we take care of the second part by transforming it into an optimized, pixel perfect website layout that matches the design.

Maintenance

After the successful launch of a website, it is very common to later require new functionality or sometimes just minor tweaks and changes. Codelegance offers the same level of service and support after your site has launched whenever you require updates or modifications.

Web hosting

Once your website has been created, it needs somewhere to live on the Internet. That’s where our managed web hosting service comes in. Codelegance hosts your website on reliable, dedicated web servers connected to the Internet by high speed European network infrastructure. Since we have full control over our servers, we can customize them in any way necessary to suit your application.

Backup

Codelegance believes that the tragedy of loss is unacceptable where avoidable, which is why we take all reasonable steps to ensure the integrity of your website and its data by making copies of both to at least one secure location on a daily basis, both during and after development.  This means that even in a worst case scenario we could not be better equipped to ensure the fullest recovery possible from our backups.

Domain names

Codelegance will register any domain names you require and configure them to work with your website. The domain name (e.g. example.com) is an essential part of any successful web site and having a memorable name strengthens your internet identity. According to Nominet, UK names are registered at an average rate of one every 20 seconds, so we suggest securing your desired domains as early as possible to prevent someone else from getting them first.

E-mail

Codelegance can provide enterprise class e-mail services for retrieving mail from your domain name. Both POP and IMAP mail box access is supported and secure mail transfer servers for sending mail are provided. If your web application needs to be able to send e-mail to customers, this functionality can be integrated into any system independently.
