ColdFusion is an Adobe owned and supported programming tool that makes creating web applications fast and straightforward. ColdFusion is easy to incorporate with .XML, .NET and Java to create both simple and highly complex applications and it integrates easily with most other platforms. Ebay, one of the world’s biggest and most complicated websites, is written in ColdFusion and it is so easy to secure that ColdFusion is used and trusted by such organisations as Bank of America, AT&T, Symantec, US Senate and NASA Jet Propulsion Lab.
At its most basic, ColdFusion has two elements. The ColdFusion server which runs on top of the standard web server and ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) which is used to write ColdFusion templates and files. The beauty of ColdFusion is its ease of use. Creating a complex and dynamic site in ColdFusion is relatively simple and the concise language means that large sites can be written quickly and rapid development of elaborate web applications is possible. A ColdFusion website makes creating such applications as scheduled newsletters/emails, member-only login areas, shopping carts, user ...
... uploads and customised browsing based on user-history not only easy but also quick.
ColdFusion is not the most popular web development language, far from it, and it has more than its fair share of detractors. Firstly, programmers that don’t like it generally don’t use it, much like a Mac user slating a PC and a PC user slating a Mac, when neither user has experience of what they are disparaging. Secondly, ColdFusion is relatively expensive, though there is a freeware version now. And thirdly, because ColdFusion is so easy to use many programmers only experience of it is having to cope with inherited sloppy coding when rewriting sites originally written by a layman.
As a result there is somewhat of a shortage of experienced ColdFusion developers and programmers in the UK and further afield. Sourcing ColdFusion website development for businesses based in Nottingham can be a challenge and finding a reputable ColdFusion Development Company in Nottingham can be even more of one. There are some basic questions that can be asked to sort the good operations from the bad. How long have you been in business? Is your portfolio available to view? Are you willing to show previous examples of your work that are currently on the internet? Any web design company worth its salt will be able to answer these questions openly and honestly.
To narrow the search even further consider what sort of service is being provided and how cost effective it is. Does the service offered fit the requirements or does it seem cobbled together on the off-chance it will work? What kind of support package is offered, is it comprehensive enough and how much does it cost? How flexible is the company willing to be with awkward or unusual requests? And finally, how many programmers within the web development business know Coldfusion? Narrowing the search in this way be asking relevant and searching questions will help to ensure that the ColdFusion development company you’ve found in Nottingham is what it says it is.
