From here you can find out what technologies we frequently use. If you don't wish to be baffled by science and technology, look away now!

HTML - Stands for Hyper Text Markup Language and is the building blocks of the internet. HTML is a simple language used to display text, images, tables and other format and layout options. It can only perform simple tasks and is incapable of doing calculations or other dynamic functions.

CSS - Cascading Style Sheets are often used to create a consistant feel accross your website. Fonts, colours and layout can all be defined in a CSS file and applied to a website. This also meas that you can change the entire feel of a website without having to change individual pages.

PHP - Stands for PHP: Hypertext Protocol (A recursive acronym)! PHP is a server-side scripting language, which means things like calculations and storing data from forms is done before a page is sent back to the visitor. The visitor never sees this process and cannot see the code (unlike a client-side language such as Java). PHP is especially useful for creating interactive and dynamic parts of a website, such as forums, guestbooks or retrieving information from databases.

MySQL - MySQL is a lightweight, reliable and fast database system primarily used for websites. It performs most actions that a normal database application can perform, such as looking up records in tables, editing and removing records and performing calculations. It is generally used for storing information for a website such as text and code for pages on your website, data that visitors have submitted from a form or any information you need to change on a regular basis. It is usually used in conjunction with a scripting language such as PHP.

Flash - Animations and media on websites are commonly created using Flash. It can create video, graphics and animation in a very light weight file making it perfect for rich media content on the internet. Navigation menus, flash intros and tutorial animations are easily made to look professional and intriguing to the visitor.

AJAX - AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. AJAX is not one technology but a collection of technologies all working together to create a rich web environment. It is generally used to make visiting a website feel more like using a program on your computer, making it more user friendly and intuative for the visitor. It can also be used to retrieve small amounts of data, rather than having to reload the entire page.

RSS - Stands for Really Simple Syndication and is a means to share data from one site to another. The data is sent in an XML file called an RSS feed and can be read by specific RSS Feed reading programs or used by another website and formated to fit in with their site. It can be espeically useful when sharing news archives or scoresheets with other websites, who intern can then display the data on their site.
