Few Web developers offer truly custom programming -- it's too difficult and too expensive.

They usually try to sell you on a cobbled-together collection of third-party software. This approach may be good enough for simple brochureware Web sites, but no off-the-shelf software can provide all the features needed by a robust business Web application.

The difference a framework makes

At Matterform, we don't use off-the-shelf software. All our sites are custom built. But we don't have to re-invent the wheel every time.

Instead, we use our own programming framework, called Voltaire, to create your site. Voltaire gives us the tools to build any Web features you need, without locking us into features you don't need.

It's the perfect combination of power and flexibility without costing the moon.

It all works together

All our Voltaire tools are designed to work together, so you and your staff will be able to maintain your Web site with less training and less trouble.

Common limitations of third-party software:

  • You can't re-arrange the navigational menus
  • You can't create your own URLs, so critical for improving your search engine results
  • You can't remove unneeded intranet features that are confusing your staff
  • You can't control how images are resized on different page views
  • Your programmers are spending more time working around the software's limitations than implementing new features
