That's right. You can hire us for your webdevelopment activities, consultancy or training. If you hire us, you will get all the flexibility and skills you would (and should) expect from a professional. We will not suddenly go silent on you in the middle of a project, or promise things we cannot realize. Sure, you could probably get a student to do what you want at a lower rate (although our rates are very reasonable for a fulltime freelancer), but first, please consider these things when hiring someone:

Can you afford missing your deadlines?

We are a fulltime professionals and take our job seriously. We are used to heavy deadlines, and we've hardly ever missed one.

Does everyone write managable, flexible code?

Everyone who puts a little effort into learning a language can write code, and probably get the job done. However, there's much more to programming on a professional level. We use modern thinking techniques and approaches to software engineering to get your project done in a readable, efficient, extendable and flexible manner. Only top quality will do.

Can anyone implement feature X?

Webdevelopment is a huge field. Luckily, we have quite a stack of gathered knowledge and skills. For this reason, you are not likely to be faced with a "we can't manage to do this" response. As long as it's realistic, we can implement it.

Does everyone know the importance of documentation?

There are countless examples of web projects that became hardly manageable over time because of a severe lack of documentation. Add bad code readability to this situation, and you have a serious problem. Wanting to extend an existing application is by no means an exception. We know how to write documentation, and especially we consider it to be a very important thing to do consistently.

Does everyone have experience with high-traffic, security demanding environments?

We've worked with some of the biggest names on the market, and we are well aware of what issues should be taken in mind when developing applications that should be secure and fast under any circumstances. We know how to tweak a database, the traps to avoid and the sometimes unusual approaches to programming for the web.

These are only a few possible questions we've seen a lot of companies struggling with. Sure, hiring a pro costs a few bucks. But the problems mentioned can usually end up costing fortunes if they persist. The internet market, in a way, moved from quantity to quality. Nowadays your clients have certain expectations about the internet company they're going to work with. Your clients want quality, and they want it delivered yesterday.

In case you think we might be exaggerating a little here - for your own good, please don't take any risks. It's a sad fact that a huge amount of sites out there are highly vulnerable even to simple attacks, and often programmed very poorly. Security should not be taken as a joke or an issue on the side. It takes a healthy amount of paranoia and a lot of experience to be able to code a secure web application. You do not want to expose your full databases to the world, or even take the risk of having no database anymore when you wake up one day. If you know what we mean.
