I am the owner of a small application development consulting company that specialized in the design and implementation of Internet-based applications. While there are others who can make a web site look good, our expertise is in making the site function. This includes infrastructure design, database design and administration, software development and deployment. For the most part, we utilize Microsoft-based languages and tools. And we are skilled enough to have generated two patent applications for our clients.
