The Complete Web Development Arc: From Web Design to Programming to Implemented Web Services

Web developer Arc Technology Group has been doing web development in Chicago for the past 8 years. Today, our practice is almost wholly devoted to building e-commerce, content management, and other types of database-driven web applications, with a strong emphasis on a high level of usability by rank-and-file (non-technical) operators.

SEO, CMS, B2B: We Make Technology Get Results for You!

Almost all of our web development engagements include a content management system (CMS). In most cases, we use the Joomla CMS as the front end for the web applications we build.

Moreover, the past 24 months have really put search engine optimization (SEO) at the top of everybody's list of priorities, and as a result the work Arc does for clients has become much more SEO-focused.

Linux, Apache, PHP, MySQL and more: Multiple Web Development Platforms, Multiple Web Design Partnerships

Arc does web programming on numerous platforms, with principal emphasis on the open source software Linux/Apache/MySQL/php (LAMP) framework, but also Cold Fusion, .NET, and others.

To achieve the highest-quality website design, we work hand in hand with a large number of graphic designers.

Web Services: Our Bread and Butter is Database-Driven Web Applications

There was a time when "computers" were synonymous with databases. With the advent of the Internet, clients have been able to accomplish a tremendous amount with "flat" files. And we continue to create a large-number of basic websites for clients in this way. More and more, however, clients want sophisticated database-driven web applications and web services to provide high quality functionality to their users: enabling them to take a test, for instance, or conduct ecommerce, or search through a large database of resources.

A lot of "technology" firms get involved with usability, content management, search engine optimization, and other challenges, at a conceptual level only. At Arc, we roll up our sleeves and build applications: we do technology! We are involved from the beginning stage of web design through the entire web development process until a finished web application is delivered.

In exciting new work, Arc has been branching out into web services such as Internet mapping and social networking.
