ITC offer a wide range of development services, ranging from simple updates to client websites, the most common example of which is updating price lists, to full site fulfilment starting with a concept and following the process all the way through design, testing, implementation and ongoing maintenance of a website.

We have been designing sites since 1997, and have a great deal of experience. We use a variety of scripting languages, design tools and techniques, and backend hosting platforms and systems in order to achieve the desired result. ITC's particular areas of expertise lie in ASP and PHP scripting, providing dynamic websites often through the use of a database backend. The use of server-side scripts wherever possible enables us to deliver powerful websites to end-user's browsers in a format that is accessible to everyone, since the scripting workload used to generate the page is taken care of on our high performance servers. ITC also have good working relationships with a number of other development companies, so if your project requires a particular scripting solution that is not in our direct field of expertise, we can still cater for your requirements.

Something worth considering when planning your website is the update process for the site. While ITC are always available to handle site updates when you need them, some clients require the ability to instantly change an item or price or availability of a product on their website. If you are likely to need to update your website regularly, you might consider the idea of a database driven website, together with a browser-based administration interface to handle the updating of your site. You won't need to know any HTML or web scripting skills, and you'll be able to simply and instantly update your website from your Internet enabled PC, wherever you happen to be. Don't be put off by the word database - this system works well for many clients. The initial development costs will be a little higher to integrate this powerful feature, but you won't need to pay for ongoing development to update your site. If you require more information about this service, please mention your interest when you contact us.

Our pricing for development services breaks down into 3 simple categories:

1. Hourly Development Rate
2. Annual Development Allowance
3. Project Development

Hourly Development

ITC offer hourly development services for whatever project or website you are working upon. We are able to work independently or together with a third party. We can design a site which we then hand over for the client to handle the updates, or we can update a site that we've had no involvement with developing. To summarise, this service is extremely flexible! You simply pay the following hourly development rates, depending on the skills required for your project:

Annual Development Allowance

This cost effective service entitles you to a discount on our normal development rates when you prepay for a number of hours work, which can be used up over a 12 month period. The pricing for this service is based upon a number of hours development per month, however ITC are quite flexible when it comes to how you use it. For example, if you have a '12 Hour Annual Development Allowance' and need 2 hours development this month but you didn't use the service last month, we will allow your entitlement for last month to be used this month. This allowance does not extend indefinitely, and does not roll over into following annual allowance periods.

Here is the pricing for this service:

Annual Development Allowance Price   12 Hours - Website/ASP Development 1 hour / month average - save up to £200! £400.00 24 Hours - Website/ASP Development 2 hours / month average - save up to £450! £750.00 48 Hours - Website/Any Scripting Language Development 4 hours / month average - save up to £1480! £1400.00

Project Development

ITC also provide development services on a project basis, whereby we give you a fixed price to complete a project based upon discussions of your requirements. This is useful for initial site design as well as major site upgrades/overhauls.

Project development rates normally range from £250 and upwards. All quotes are generated individually based upon discussions with a customer. Please contact us with details of your project requirements, and we will be happy to inform you how much the development will cost.
