Content Management Systems
Special had developed a number of bespoke CMS for clients including Threshold Housing Association and Centre for Excellence in Leadership in Post-16 Education. However, we also now use Dotnetnuke, an open-source solution developed which we feel has developed to become a credible alternative to more expensive systems, and extremely configurable to meet a wide range of requirements.
Websites, Intranets and Extranets
Special can carry out every stage of your website development including user requirements analysis, design, development, content preparation, testing and hosting. Our experience of handling large and small projects means that we have fine tuned project management practices. Our websites use Content Management Systems, meet accessibility criteria and are tagged for search engines optimisation. We work closely with our clients to ensure that we deliver the website you require.
Intranets are closed websites, only for use by your staff. We have developed Intranets for large organisations and can assist in every stage of planning and developing, or even redevelop an existing Intranet.
Extranets are closed websites, usually for suppliers or consultants who will be issued with a password. We have developed a number of extranets. We can also work with you to ensure consistent information is supplied through your Intranet, Extranet and website.
Database systems
Database systems are essential to information storage and management within your organisation. They will also supply your Intranet, website and Extranets with accurate information. We have experience of developing a range of bespoke database systems for clients and specialise in web-based interface design.
We also develop the following tailored solutions specific to particular sectors:
- BinDays for Local Authorities
CD-ROMs and DVDs
CD-ROMs enable your organisation to distribute a large amount of multimedia content including files, videos, audio and presentations. At Special we produce CD-ROMs for distribution around the country, to hand out at events and even for you to sell to your clients - whether it's for information delivery or marketing. DVDs enable you to distribute even more information than CD-ROMs, but also we can develop DVDs either for use on computers or for use on home television sets.
