Web stack

Web standards, frameworks and platform capability

Technology is selected around the job. A small brochure site and a custom authenticated application should not be forced into the same architecture.

HTML, CSS and JavaScript remain the browser platform underneath modern frameworks.

Frameworks are used when their additional application structure creates value.

A business does not have to abandon a functioning CMS simply because GRID EATER can build custom software.
