Web Development 

Custom Web Application Development

Do you need to web-enable your business processes?  Are you looking to improve your existing web applications or integrate them with other systems?  If so, Beacon brings tremendous experience with many large and complex systems over a host of different platforms. Our team specializes in web-based software development & systems integration.

Whether it's making existing systems "talk" to each other better, building custom web applications for new business functions, or modifying existing applications to improve performance or functionality, Beacon consistently provides dependable results.  Our team focuses on understanding your needs, and our senior project managers will step you through our proven process to deliver your critical business functionality to the web. 

Custom web application development requires our 2-phase approach.  That is, we collaborate with you to develop the "blueprint" first before "building the house".  The blueprint phase includes collaborative sessions to brainstorm ideas, consider technical options, define the requirements, layout the website design, document process flow and in some cases, build a working prototype.  Once this is complete, a much more accurate time and cost estimate can be provided for the development phase (which also includes testing and implementation).
