Areas of Expertise


Web Development from Kinaba covers a range of needs from creating a simple, effective web presence for a business to developing complex, robust, and interactive websites. Currently, we work with PHP-based platforms; SQL-driven sites; and design using standard web languages and styles. We do not work in the ASP/.NET environment, nor do we plan to move in this direction as it is our perspective that this tends to limit what can be done - not help.

Among our specialties is building eCommerce, content, database-drive, and interactive sites by leveraging open-source platforms such as Zen Cart, Joomla, Drupal, WordPress, and others. It is not essential that you have a particular platform in mind. We can discuss your project with you and make solid recommendations for web development. Or, if you are already working with a specific platform, you may wish to have help with custom development and modifications. For example:

Zen Cart:
Based on the original osCommerce platform, Zen Cart is an open source platform that puts tremendous power and potential into eCommerce websites. Rather than suggest that clients put themselves under the incredible limitations of most of the well-known hosted eCommerce solutions and web stores, Kinaba can work with clients to customize Zen Cart, providing the design and functionality for individuals and businesses who want to sell online.

For potential clients who are using osCommerce or other osCommerce-based platforms such as CRELoaded, we suggest that it might be time to updgrade to Zen Cart. Yes, Zen Cart should be considered an upgrade. It provides more functionality by default than its "sister programs". And we build in additional functionality through modules and customization. For example, a "standard installation" for us includes such modules as Easy Populate which allows website owners to upload, change, or delete product data in bulk via a spreadsheet.

Joomla:
For websites of simple to medium complexity, Joomla providers an effective framework and content management system. Kinaba can help tailor your Joomla installation with custom designed templates, module installation, and additional customization. Joomla is a popular choice when you need a website that you can easily update yourself in the future, and Kinaba can ensure that you're on the right track.

Drupal:
When you need lots of "power under the hood", Drupal is one of the best choices (if not the best) for a platform. Currently, Drupal powers some very large websites by very large and well-known companies. Kinaba can build and customize virtually any type of website based on the Drupal platform. Your Drupal-drive website can easily rival some very expensive enterprise-level systems.

Other:
Kinaba can also build templates for and customize other types of websites and systems. We also offer product development consultation if you are considering a very large scale, enterprise-level social media, eCommerce, or other type of website.
