Ocular Box has designed and continues to manage webistes with hundreds of thousands of members and thousands of daily unique visitors. Our websites have been featured or referenced on VH1, NBC, ESPN and scores of newspapers/magazines.
Because our websites are built on top of our proprietary content management system, we are able to customize our backend to adapt to the demands of any project. The extensive suite of "out-of-the-box" features decreases the development cycle time and offers a tested and stable platform on which you can manage your website.
Out-of-the-box features
Server-side verification of all input variables
Extensive library of common input types (phone numbers, email addresses, urls, etc.)
Customizable select drop-down menus
Relational select drop-down menues
Dependency drop-down menus
File handling
Image handling and manipulation
List views and Ajax list views
Ajax sub-form data submission
We have developed a proficiency in the following technologies since we began creating websites in 1995:
HTML (since 1995)
CSS (since 2001)
javaScript (since 2001)
PHP (since 2003)
Database interaction with PHP (since 2003) (MySQL, Oracle, Access)
Adobe Flash (since 1998)
Graphic Design
Currently, due to workload, our graphic design resources are dedicated to digital media creation to support the website development team. With the exception of complete corporate branding (which includes website development), we no longer offer business card, brochure, letterhead, advertisement, or other print media layout services.
Hosting and Management
Ocular Box leases and manages our own Quad-Core Red Hat Enterprise Linux Servers. Quarterly virtual server lease agreements for all sites on our hardware include hosting, varying number of user licenses for content management system and varying hours of pre-paid ongoing development and maintenance.
Search Engine Optimization
We no longer offer search engine optimization for sites we didn't develop. Search engine optimization is a process that can only be done properly when ample consideration for all aspects of the project (design, development, market, competition, etc.) can be accounted for through each stage of development and maintenance.
Testimonial
Well, what more can I say? BRAVO! I am so pleased that your firm was recommended to me for the creation of the Lauer Design web site. You have demonstrated distinctive creativity...one that does not mind stretching the limits...for a very reasonable fee. Being in the design field myself, it is nice to know that you understood what I was looking for and made suggestions to improve upon it.
I will certainly use your firm again as well as recommend you to anyone who is in need of your services.
