What is "custom programming" exactly?

Custom programming is writing custom scripts or applications in order to provide new capabilities or features within a website or web-based business application, as opposed to integrating an "off the shelf" application. Typically custom programming involves very specific technical requests or objectives, then building a program that will make it happen through web technology.

Can you help us make our Interspire Shopping Cart application template look more like our other marketing materials.

Yes. We customize templates for different content management systems.

We have an idea for our website to make it work better for our customers, but we have no idea where to start. Can you help us?

Absolutely. We can help with talking through what you are looking to accomplish, then document the project requirements including technical specifications. We also typically assist with prototyping, coding, quality assurance, testing and debugging and finally, integration of the custom application with your website.

Can you help us? We tried hiring a programmer through Guru.com, but it was a disaster—we had little input and the resulting product was not very executed.

Yes, we can help. Developing a comprehensive requirements document to serve as a roadmap for actual programming is crucial. Skipping this step or letting a programmer "wing it," especially with complex projects will always invite disaster.

Do you provide training and support for custom programs you develop for customers?

Yes we do. We document all our projects and we provide training so our clients can easily administrate the applications we develop.

Who owns custom developed applications?

Typically, custom created code is owned by the developer and is licensed for use by the client within their website for a specific period of time, and the license prevents the client from selling the application to anyone else. Clients can negotiate with Design-First for exclusive use of or full ownership of applications developed by Design-First on a case by case basis.
