When we are asked to create an application or website we ensure that we clearly understand the requirements and aspirations of your enterprise before going on to design an original and targeted product.

SWITS staff has over thirty years of designing and programming experience covering twenty languages and four Database Systems including:

• Visual Basic

• Javascript

• KML

• Html

• MySQL

• MSSQL

• PHP

We have created many products for our clients incorporating:

• Database Design;

• Web Site Design;

• Geocoding and Demographics;

• Technical Utilities.

A sample of the products we have written are listed below together with a description of how they work and what they were created to achieve.

Applications

DENNIS written for The Learning Institute

"Dennis (Database for Enrolling New Students) is the beating heart of Home Study Courses Ltd. The program manages students, tutors, stock and business partners. It keeps records and provides reports. It also tracks student progress, reminds students, and manages tutors’ fees. Despite its power, it’s very simple to use and is highly flexible. Dennis does the work of a roomful of people, and never sleeps." Kit Sadgrove (CEO of The Learning Institute)

Accommodation Database written for Mendip YMCA

"SWITS worked with us to develop an extensive Database using Microsoft Access, which has enabled us to maintain comprehensive records and detailed standard reports. In development SWITS were responsive and met our needs completely. Subsequently we have worked together to further develop the database and SWITS has trained us in writing bespoke queries to interrogate the database enabling us to respond to ad-hoc requests for information. The database is easy to use and enables us to manipulate and maintain our client records in an easily accessible format.

This request was met within timescale, at a reasonable cost to the organisation and has proved to be cost effective in respect of staff time and resources." Rob Spraggon (Accommodations manager)

Website Design & Construction

In December 2007 we designed and implemented a Content Managed website (one where the clients can update a large portion of the website themselves) for Cathedral City Travel.

We are in the process of developing a Content Managed website for a new client that will support online purchases of her products via Paypal.  In addition we are currently developing simple, static, websites for two other clients.

Below are two examples of websites that we continue to keep up to date for our clients. Communique-tenders contains forms and snippets of java script. Mendip CAB uses frames and small bits of embeded CSS. Both of these websites have been rewritten and kept up to date by SWITS.
