About IT Business Developer

IT Business Developer (IBD) was started in Jan 2009.

IBD builds web based programs to promote productivity and sales for business.

The primary aim of IBD is to:

• Develop and operate IBD owned web businesses.
  For example this web site IT Form Developer - [more].
• To create engines and operate in partnerships using flexible business arrangements.
  For example VTour, which is an engine for property sales - [more].
• Develop and operate web applications for external business.
  For example the Svitzer Tug Booking System - [more].

Who are our customers?

• Managers of companies who wish to develop software to assist in the administration of their business. Normally the goal would be to use the Internet to communicate internally and/or business to business in order to improve productivity.
• Entrepreneurs or companies who want to run a business on the web. This may be a wholly online business or developed as an extension of their existing business. Normally the site would be public facing and intended to generate sales.

Creating Web Applications

For convenience we classify web sites as:

• Business Card - A static web site with a small number of pages and fixed information which needs updates very rarely. A small static web site takes days to develop and requires little ongoing maintenance.
• Basic Web Site - A static web site with a medium number of pages whose content may require to be updated by administrative staff on a daily basis. It takes weeks to develop and requires little ongoing maintenance.
  A number of content management packages exist which can be used to allow people who are not trained in web design to update a web site. We are developing a simple web content management system using plain XML files which we would encourage you to consider.
  
• Web Tools - Single page tools which add dynamic elements to a static web site in order to provide some functionality. Web tools take weeks to develop.
  IT Form Developer now provides the abilty to rapidly create online web tools and forms which can quickly add dynamic content and help to manage administration.
  
• Web Application (Webapp) - A dynamic web site normally linked to a database which performs a dedicated activity for the public or business. It takes months to develop and requires both a developer and an administrator to maintain and run it.
• Enterprise Web Application - A dynamic web site which integrates directly in the IT operation of the company. It takes a number of staff years to develop and is seen as one as part of an integrated IT policy.
