Today it is imperative that every business have a web presence. Your customers expect to be able to easily find information about you, and the Internet affords quick and easy access to that information.

Let New Media One build your business a web site you can be proud of. Our team of professional designers and programmers have years of experience developing customized solutions for businesses of all sizes. We understand that your business may not require the latest and greatest in dynamic content management packages, complex user registration schemes, or even basic interactivity. A simple set of informative pages may be more than sufficient. On the other hand, your business may require all that and more.

At New Media One, we will never push more on your business than it needs and, likewise, we will always be happy to build your web site up to whatever levels of complexity you require. We'd love to talk with you about the unique needs of your business, and we promise to be completely honest about our assessment of those needs.

Open Source Web Development

New Media One is committed to open source technologies. These technologies provide a number of advantages to your business.

• Open source technologies are usually free. This means that you're only paying for our development time, not the software.
• Open source technologies are robust. Because they are widely used and are the product of countless hours by countless developers, they have been tested and tweaked in ways impossible for closed source, propriety technologies to match.
• Open source technologies are widely supported. They have massive support communities that make sure the technology remains at the cutting edge. Because the software is not owned by any single company, you aren't tying your web site to the health of that company.
• Open source technologies are publicly owned. Why is this an advantage? Because if a bug is found, for example, there is no company worried about hiding the issue to keep their stock price from falling. Open source technologies are created with an attitude of total openness.

We use the following open source solutions:

MySQL AB has become the most popular open source database and the fastest growing database in the industry. This is based on its dedication to providing a less complicated solution suitable for widespread application deployment at a greatly reduced TCO.

PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.

The Apache Project is a collaborative software development effort aimed at creating a robust, commercial-grade, featureful, and freely-available source code implementation of an HTTP (Web) server. The project is jointly managed by a group of volunteers located around the world, using the Internet and the Web to communicate, plan, and develop the server and its related documentation. These volunteers are known as the Apache Group. In addition, hundreds of users have contributed ideas, code, and documentation to the project.

We also have skills and provide solutions utilizing:

Microsoft .NET, Microsoft Active Server Pages, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Cold Fusion MX.

Our Skills vs. Your Needs

Over the years, we have become specialists in a few web programming languages. The decision of choosing a programming language to power your web site is an important one. We believe the decision should be made solely based on what is best for your business. Unfortunately, we've often seen this choice made based on the skills of the person developing a web site, rather than the needs of the customer. We must understand your needs in some detail before we can accurately recommend a programming language, database, or any type of web solution for your business. We believe it is a mistake for anyone to recommend a programming language or software solution before understanding your unique business needs. We believe strongly that it's better for us to pass on a project than to take it on if it doesn't fall into one of our specialties. If we determine that your needs are best met by a language we don't specialize in, we'll be honest and help you find a solution provider that is a better fit for you.
