Our general philosophy regarding
web sites is mainly that it should provide easy access
to quality information resources in an atmosphere that encourages creativity
and intellectual freedom, and to provide timely, helpful,
and accurate information.
We believe accessibility is
an extremely
important issue when producing web pages for the general
public. It is easy to loose the perspective when designing
web pages,
and fail to keep in mind that it is crucial that your web
site may be viewed by 'anyone' using any web browsing
technology.
Frontier bases the design of its
solutions on years of application development experience and
the following principles:
|
Maintain a business rather than technical focus. Frontier
focuses on the business requirements and leverages technology
as the enabling tools to optimize the business solution.
|
|
|
Utilize
industry standards and standard packages. Using industry
standards and standard packages whenever possible allows
for a low cost solution that can be upgraded or replaced
as business changes occur.
|
|
|
Provide
a flexible architecture. Frontier proposes an open N-Tier
architecture solution to allow future enhancements like
interactive tools, on-line billing, and wireless output
as required.
|
|
|
Utilize
a component-based architecture. This does two things
1) it allows for effective enhancement or changes to
selected portions of the system without requiring a
rewrite of the entire application and 2) it will also
allow for an incremental or phased approach to the development
of a comprehensive web solution.
|
|
|
Provide
a scaleable architecture. To effectively handle an increased
volume without requiring significant changes to the
application.
|
|
|
Maintain simplicity. This is to reduce ongoing maintenance and
operational costs. Modifications to the site are performed
by business, not technical personnel.
