We've been working on web application development since the mid 1990s
when the web was a fairly flat read-only medium. As websites have become
more complex, businesses have started to realise that they have an
opportunity to expose increasing amounts of information about their
products and services to their end users. Although originally a
mechanism for delivering documents, it has became clear that the same
request/response mechanism can be used to start far more substantial web
application development. A distinction quickly became clear between
information websites and rich web applications which deliver business
functionality to the outside world.
Web application development
focuses on the design and implementation of rich web-enabled business
systems. Our web application development processes is continually
developing, to the point that all of our websites are now web
application developments. The term 'application' emphasises a much
richer flow through increasingly complex business models – ecommerce
sites, intranets, extranets and other bespoke products and services such
as insurance, secure online voting, holiday booking and accommodation
websites. Web application development is allowing companies to shift the
cost of locating and purchasing core products and services from the
company to the customer, while giving the customer far more control and
flexibility.
Web application development not only allows your
customers to browse and search your products and services, but also
allows your call centres to view your customers' bookings in real time.
When done properly, web application development can also expose your
core business to increasingly wider delivery channels. We have
successfully extended a number of our web application developments to
SMS, voice and mobile channels for little additional outlay – giving
your company the widest possible audience. Thirdrock has the web
application development capabilities that will expand and change the way
you deliver your business to your customers, wherever they are.
