Web Development

A website is a custom software application. Like a desktop application, a website—however small—requires proper architecture, planning, and development to be successful. Despite the humble beginnings of the web, modern applications delivered online are often more powerful and advanced than their desktop counterparts. On the web, security, platform independence, and performance requirements are taken to new levels.

Net Fusion is highly experienced in web architecture and development; in fact, most of the software we build is delivered on the ASP.Net platform. The flexibility provided by technologies such as AJAX, jQuery, and Silverlight allows us to create interactive, responsive applications that can be accessed almost anywhere.

Though we excel at building attractive and usable sites, our true differentiation lies in our ability to help customers craft and refine business requirements and turn them in powerful, extensible web applications. Whether your site must provide e-commerce, document management, or even just brochure content, you can count on Net Fusion's experience and best practices to get the job done.

Raising the Bar

It can be difficult to understand the amount of planning and skill that goes into a functional web application. Due to available tools, open standards, and a large community of knowledge, nearly anyone can create a simple website. Mastery of the discipline, however, requires deep knowledge of multi-tiered architecture, usability/heuristics, atomic data design, object oriented programming, and interoperability. It takes a seasoned web team to create commercial applications that you can run your business on.

Standards and Security

Net Fusion promotes the creation and implementation of web standards. Sites designed for the intranet usually have a finite list of consumers and devices (which can still be broad); internet sites have an uncontrolled and nearly limitless number of consumers. It’s important to understand what standards are currently supported, what standards will be supported in the future, and to strike the correct balance between features, performance, and platform-independence. Standards-compliant sites are also more likely to rank higher in search engines.

Websites must be secure. Net Fusion has proven tools and methodologies to ensure the integrity of user information throughout its lifecycle. Our infrastructure practice understands how to build the network below the application layer so that hardware and software work together to provide complete security. We understand the ramifications of HIPAA and FERPA and have CISSP certified engineers to participate in the design and implementation process to avoid costly compliance violations.

Data as a Foundation

Logical, familiar flows should guide the user through one of the most important parts of nearly any website: data. Net Fusion has a practice dedicated to data management and analysis. We understand the intricacies of collecting and aggregating data from users and from external locations. We understand how to translate that data into business insight to promote better decisions.

Mobile Development

Mobile applications have become a part of everyday life. These applications are platform-specific and operate using a client-server model. Net Fusion is qualified to assist in building these applications, but we also believe that the mobile web browser presents a platform-independent way of delivering content. As this market emerges, we are guiding our customers through the process of making their web applications ready for the challenges of smaller screens, slower connections, and different input mechanisms.
