Although there are many third-party Web 2.0 open source Web applications that can be modified to fit the needs of your business or organization, there are many reasons to consider custom programming to create Web applications that look and function exactly the way you need them to function for your business or organization.
Some businesses or organizations find they need functionality or design that sets them apart from the generic applications found on many sites. They need to do this to accomplish a specific image or branding. Some find they need the applications to work in a specific way in order to interface them with other systems they either already have in place or may be considering in the future. Another factor could be whether the staff or others that will be responsible for the day-to-day operations will have the appropriate knowledge, and therefore it would be necessary to implement the application with technologies of which staff members are already knowledgeable.
Most Web applications require the use of a database to store data and server-side programming or scripting languages to interface the Website with the database. NetSoft Design uses several industry standard databases and languages to do this including MySQL, PHP, ASP 3.0, Cold Fusion (CFML), and Actionscript (for Flash applications).
