Custom Web Development
Cat Scratch Web Services builds websites and business applications using PHP, MySQL, Laravel, and JavaScript. An Erie, Colorado business, we work with businesses along the Front Range and with remote clients elsewhere ranging as far away as Conakry, Guinea.
Your project may be a website that introduces your business, a replacement for an outdated site, or an application that helps staff manage daily work. We develop the public presentation and the functionality behind it.
New and Replacement Websites
A business website should make it easy for visitors to understand what you offer and find the information they need. We organize pages, navigation, images, and forms around that purpose, with layouts that work across different screen sizes.
For websites you manage yourself, we provide administration tools for routine content changes, along with instructions and training.
Custom Business Applications
Some projects need more than informational pages. We build applications that collect information, connect related records, and move work through the steps your business requires.
Custom development may include:
- Customer, project, and service records
- Scheduling and customer-intake forms
- Agreements and approval workflows
- User accounts and controlled access
- Administration dashboards, search, and reports
- Payment-processing integration
- Email notifications
- Image and document management
- Data import and export
Development Around Your Business
Off-the-shelf software can be a good fit. Custom development becomes useful when important tasks fall outside its capabilities or staff repeatedly copy information between disconnected systems.
We begin by discussing what information you manage, who uses it, and the steps involved. That establishes which features are necessary, which services need to connect, and what the project should accomplish.
Website and CMS Transitions
An older website may rely on unsupported software, abandoned plugins, or administration tools that no longer meet your needs. We can review it as part of planning a replacement, identifying useful content and functionality to carry forward.
A transition may include:
- Moving text, images, and documents
- Reorganizing pages and navigation
- Rebuilding forms and required features
- Replacing outdated administration tools
- Transferring and restructuring business data
- Redirecting retired URLs to appropriate replacement pages
Our customizable Vision CMS combines a public website with administration tools selected for each project.
PHP, MySQL, and Laravel
PHP handles application logic, Laravel provides a framework for development, and MySQL stores the underlying data. We also integrate APIs, payment providers, email services, and specialized media tools where the project requires them.
You do not need to understand the programming tools to use the finished website or application.
Documentation and Support
We provide documentation, training, and ongoing assistance for the systems we develop. Routine tasks such as updating content and managing records should be accessible through the administration interface without editing code.
