Web 2.0 applications are the second generation of online services that take advantage of new and rich internet technologies such as AJAX, Flash, Flex, Silverlight, Ruby on Rails.
Web 2.0 applications facilitate interactive information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design and collaboration on the Web. Examples of Web 2.0 applications include web-based communities, hosted services, web applications, social-networking sites, video-sharing sites etc. A Web 2.0 site allows its users to interact with other users and to change the web site content, in contrast to non-interactive websites where users are limited to the passive viewing of information.
Shore10 has extensive experience and expertise in developing each of these custom web applications and can work with clients to identify the best implementation based on the clients' needs, budget, business model, and timeline.
Shore10 has an especially strong background working with early-stage companies in need of an agile development team to develop the new Web 2.0 applications.
Through a phased-process, Shore10 ensures client satisfaction every step of the way by providing both consultation and development services. We begin by consulting with the client on the goals and writing the specifications needed to implement project. Once the specifications are completed, we produce professional design samples that provide the overall look and feel of the site.
After we receive approval on the design, our team will implement workflows, databases, and business logic required to create a dynamic website. We finalize the process by performing a full set of integration tests and by deploying the completed product to production.
