Perceptual Solutions

Welcome to Perceptual Solutions. We offer effective, good-value IT solutions. All our solutions focus on usability and meeting our customers' requirements.

We offer a full range of services including:

• Traditional application development: we can develop traditional desktop applications, both console and GUI-based. I f your business needs some custom software, we can help you. We specialise in Perl development, and can help maintain or debug your existing Perl code.
• Web application development: everything from automatically-updating web sites to flight booking and other applications. If you need a web application, we can develop it for you.
• Web design: we believe that simple, plain and clear designs are the most effective. They're easier to read and faster to load. Through our partners, we can also take care of your web hosting and domain registration requirements.
• Usability: we firmly believe in usability and unlike many other solution providers, we view it as an integral and vitally important part of design, rather than an after thought. We can do a usability review of your existing web site, and offer usability advice on applications in general.
• Search engine optimisation (SEO): we can offer advice on legitimate and acceptable methods for improving your web site's search engine ranking, and can show successful work carried out for previous clients. Unlike many other SEO providers, we won't make impossible claims and don't use methods which can get you banned.
• IT support: we also offer an all-round IT support service on both hardware and software. We support Windows, UNIX and Mac OS systems. Support is offered either by phone or on-site throughout Northern Ireland. Support services in the rest of the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and Europe can be arranged upon request.
• Accessibility: with disability discrimination legislation, making sure your application or web site is accessible to users with disabilities or varying abilities is essential. Contrary to popular belief, this is a relatively simple and low-cost process and usually makes your site easier to use by everyone!

Our solutions are mainly built with open source tools. This allows us to develop quality solutions rapidly, with the added benefits of lower cost, and less dependency on a single software vendor. Using Perl allows us to develop software rapidly, and deploy on virtually all modern and legacy platforms. Our hosting solutions use the award-winning reliable UNIX operating system FreeBSD, ensuring downtime is kept to a minimum.

We have limited content on this site, mainly because we implement what you want, rather than attempting to force solutions onto you.

If you have any IT problem, we have the solution. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
