You are in good hands when it comes to technology at Butchershop Creative. We have been making web sites since the good old days of the 1990s and Netscape 3. We don’t always run with the pack, but rest assured the choices we make are based in experience.

We use stable, industry standard open source software and techniques to build sites that look beautiful and work on all major operating systems and web browsers.

Your business’s web site will be fast, incredibly easy to update without any knowledge of HTML, and if you have something bigger in mind, the tools we use come with scale in mind. The era of web sites that worked only for desktop browsers is well behind us. The web sites we build work great on all major mobile browsing platforms.

On the front-end we take advantage of the latest HTML, CSS and JavaScript the newest browsers support while making sure that everything looks great on the older browser still in use.

Our server side technology focuses on Linux (CentOS, Ubuntu) and RESTful architecture. We host on dedicated hardware with Cari.Net and in the cloud on Amazon’s AWS. Our web sites are delivered by the leading Apache web server. The web site’s data is stored in PostgreSQL database servers. We develop custom web applications using the excellent Python programming language and Django web framework with the fast and stable mod_wsgi. Python and Django allow us to go from mock-ups to launch in record time and seamlessly add new features. You don’t have to worry about changing business requirements because we can change data models on the fly with South. If your web site does something time consuming we’ll make sure that your users don’t have to wait around by relying on Celery and RabbitMQ. We keep the code safely versioned on Github and automate our deployments with Fabric.

If you’re just looking for a blog, we rely on the venerable WordPress CMS to provide you with all the functions a blogger needs out of the box.

If your business runs on Microsoft Windows, no problem. We have experience building web sites with C# using the great ASP.Net MVC framework, backed by Active Directory and MSSQL database servers.

We do take the time to have some fun and explore and play with some of the latest and greatest tools the Internet has to offer. Lately we have been exploring Nginx, uWSGI, Flask and MongoDB as alternatives for our standard tools.
