Services

At High Line Software, you'll deal directly with a developer. You won't get a salesman who will promise you the world just to make a sale. We won't promise you anything we can't deliver, but if it can be done on a LAMP platform, we can do it!

Methodology

Requirements

We believe it is essential to the success of a project to start off with formal requirements analysis so you can be confident that we understand your needs and we can be confident we're building the right software.

Design

Once the first iteration of requirements is agreed upon, we'll build a prototype mockup of the user interface for you to examine. Most problems are detected at this stage and are easy to correct because no code has been written yet. Only changes to documents are required. This highly collaborative approach saves us time and saves you money. At the end of this phase, we can be confident that we're building the right software -- the first time.

Once the user interface is designed, we can get to work designing the back-end software so we can be confident that we're not only building the right software -- we're building the software right.

Implementation

There are currently no universal coding standards for PHP, so we've adapted the Drupal coding standards, since much of our development is done using the Drupal CMS. We follow commonly accepted "best practices" for developing software, such as complete documentation, and using revision control systems and problem reporting software. This means that the software we deliver will be reliable and easy to maintain.

Testing

We understand how important it is for your software to consistently work correctly. Your reputation depends on it as does ours. That is why we test your software thoroughly before deployment and why we respond quickly to any problems that may occur with the software.

Additional Information

Security

We utilize the most secure practices when developing your software. You'll have password protected access to your software while it's under development.

Installation and support

Prototypes and deliverables are developed on our server. After thorough testing, we'll install and configure the software on your server. But our service doesn't end there. We'll provide lifetime support for your software as well as special rates for enhancements and modifications. We like repeat customers and word of mouth advertising.

Technologies

At High Line Software, we specialize in Open Source Technologies. Linux has proven to be a reliable, stable, and fast operating system, which is why more Web servers run on Linux than any other operating system. Apache has become the most trusted Web server. MySQL has evolved over the years into a robust, highly scalable, stable, secure, transaction capable database server. PHP is a wonderful scripting language written specifically for Web based applications. It has object oriented capabilities and executes faster than Java or .Net based systems.
