Our Expertise

The Inlight team bring a strong set of skills and experience that comes from working on some of Australia's largest web projects through to small, creative brochure sites. We have built a mixed team of complimentary skills, and enjoy working collaboratively to get the best possible result.

Application Development

We build custom online applications that work. We understand how users interact with the web, and what it takes to develop a successful online product. We develop simple, yet effective solutions that focus on the user and the core functionality that's required. We follow an agile development methodology, and help our clients take their idea from a concept, through detailed define and design stages to development.

Content Managed Solutions

Content management systems (CMSs) have become a key tool on the web; enabling businesses to keep their site fresh and up to date with recent content. We help our clients design a content managed solution that works for them, and provide the tools they need to manage their unique business. We don't use out of the box templates, and have the expertise to build custom components for your individual needs. Once the website is complete, we provide detailed documentation and hands on training to help you take control.

Consulting Services

As well as end-to-end online solutions, we offer a range of consulting services to help with your next web project. We help:

  • Design agencies that require an expert development team for more complex web projects;
  • Organisations to decide on what technologies to use and what would work best for them;
  • Fill out your development team on larger web projects;
  • Provide online strategy advice and functional design.

Our Clients

We have worked with a diverse range of clients from government departments to online start-ups. We specialise in partnering with design and other media agencies to provide professional development services, and help expand their online offering and provide end-to-end solutions.

Our Technology

Whilst our team has a broad range of experience in different web technologies, we focus on a core set of languages and tools that we are experts in. These are:

  • Presentation: W3C compliant CSS and XHTML, Javascript (JQuery)
  • Server side: PHP and MySQL
  • Application development: PHP and the CakePHP framework
  • Content Management: Joomla
  • Interactive: Flash and Flash Builder using Action Script 3
  • Payment Gateways: eWay and Paypal solutions
  • APIs: Facebook, Twitter, Google Apps
  • Mobile: iPhone application development and mobile friendly CSS

Our Processes

We continually develop and follow a set of processes and standards that ensure our projects run smoothly. Whilst this not only saves costs in re-development, it also produces better results. We work closely as a team and with our clients, and continually revisit our requirements to make sure the project is delivering what it was intended to.

We use version control, automated updates and management tools to ensure as few issues as possible. In the case that defects do arise, we manage these efficiently and respond to issues through the use of a client portal.
