Custom Code and Content Management

At THE ROSTER, we provide complete e-commerce solutions, including e-commerce shopping cart software, and Content Management Systems including Movable Type, Word Press, Joomla, and Drupal. Our web development team can write in many languages to serve numerous website purposes.

Content Management System (CMS) is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since the CMS manages all your content, you don’t have to.

Movable Type

Is a content management system (CMS) that provides an easy-to-use interface for adding to and updating your website. Beneath the friendly interface lies the infinite capability, flexibility, and customizability required to build the latest interactive websites and blogs — the kind that create loyal visitors, solicit valuable customer feedback, extend brand value, and turn your website into an indispensable focus of your business.

Flexible enough for custom blogs and websites and powerful enough for the most demanding content management and social media needs, Movable Type is the most advanced social publishing platform on the market.

Word Press

WordPress was born out of a desire for an elegant, well-architectured personal publishing system built on PHP and MySQL. WordPress is an Open Source project, which means we you are free to use it for anything from your cat’s home page to a Fortune 100 web site without paying anyone a license fee. WordPress is fresh software, but its roots and development go back to 2001. It is a mature and stable product. By focusing on user experience and web standards the community has created a tool different from anything else out there.

WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code, since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on hundreds of thousands of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day. WordPress is completely customizable and can be used for almost anything.

Joomla

Is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone.

Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP)

PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java, and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly. The benefits of PHP are quicker response time, improved security, and transparency to the end user. Almost 1.5 million websites are currently running PHP.

Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP)

ASP lets web developers combine HTML pages, script commands, and COM components to create interactive web pages or web-based applications that are easy to modify. The server-side scripting environment helps web developers to create and run dynamic, interactive web server applications.

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX)

AJAX is a web development technique for creating interactive web applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user makes a change. This is meant to increase the web page’s interactivity, speed, and usability. The AJAX technique uses a combination of XHTML (or HTML) and CSS, for marking up and styling information.

Ruby on Rails (RoR)

Ruby is a reflective, object-oriented programming language. It combines syntax inspired by Perl with Smalltalk-like object-oriented features, and also shares some features with Python, Lisp, Dylan and CLU. Ruby is a single-pass interpreted language. Its main implementation is free software distributed under an open-source license. Ruby on Rails strives for simplicity and allowing real-world applications to be developed in less code than other frameworks and with a minimum of configuration. Rails make extensive use of the metaprogramming allowed by the Ruby programming language. This use of metaprogramming allows for Rails to create a very interesting domain-specific language that many programmers find to be easier to understand than traditional frameworks.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

Otherwise known as table-less HTML. CSS is a simple way to add style (e.g. fonts, colors, spacing) to a web document by placing all style elements within one style sheet. By including these elements within one style sheet, our web developers can influence the presentation of your website without sacrificing device - independence or adding new HTML tags, which can increase page size (which reduces loading time) and add additional clutter to the code, which prevents easy spidering by Search Engines.

Security

It is essential you have a secure, capable, and results-oriented system set in place for your online venture. THE ROSTER works in conjunction with our clients to find the most effective web development solution to promote, track, evaluate, and manage sales online. By using dynamic applications our web developers create a solution that allows for secure and real time transactions through the World Wide Web.
