Gobisoft is becoming a consulting and web services company. More news to follow, we will soon be launching services based on our Flow web services and hosting platform.

We’d like to stress that this isn’t the end of the company as far as our innovations are concerned. Our IP will live on with our clients and is licensed in other products. We are essentially entering a cold development phase. A phase where we will be inventing new web services platforms and hosting strategies.

Gobisoft is a consultancy, primarily…

Mike Martin works on SocialGO with Get on with it Ltd.

Theo Allardyce has moved to Dubai  and is working in the web industry there.

We now have contractors in place to handle our servers.

Any enquiries about our IP and source code can be made to info@gobisoft.com

Thanks,

Mike Martin, Theo Allardyce

New modules for Flow are currently in development. We’re working on the web services API at the moment. This allows Flow customers to import/export data from the Flow content base.

Our WYSIWYG editor is being build on top of these services.

This post is a long work in progress but…

On this site, you may hear us mentioning a product called flow. This product is our core platform, which powers website we develop on.

The code behind flow could be described as an MVC-like structure but some things we do are different.

So after a series of posts exploring a sensible, free-from-time-wasting way of sharing files, I’ve now found a better way.

I overlooked the whole Fuse and SSHFS situation. So now we can to connect to the server in a decent way (not using some dumb SFTP program) try:

Web design is very different from other mediums because half the time spent designing a website is wasted solving technical problems. For a start, a website on your screen might not look the same on someone elses. You might see a few small differences or in extreme cases the whole page can come out looking scrambled. The problem is there are so many differences between all the computers out there.

You probably dont notice this in your day to day browsing because web designers make allot of effort to get sites working on all the different browsers and computers use. Designers spend much of their time just trying to get their concept from paper to screen. Its not hard to imagine how this struggle leads to lazy design and corner cutting.

Building our network, improving products to solve our own information problems, maybe this will help you too.

At gobisoft, we’re constantly on the road and several of our employees work away from the office, so keeping a semi-centralised (the ’semi’ bit I’ll talk about in another post) location for our data is important.

Business websites all seem to be the same, a cookie-cutter variation on the same old pages: About Us, Contact Us, and a whole load of marketing speak in between. However, more than alienating and confusing your visitors, this format makes your website stale.

So, whether you’re an IT professional or just looking for the right web design firm for your project, you’ll be able to read up on what we do, how we do it, and why we’re right for you.

Many journalists and commentators have tried to point out that the arrival of Google gears could spell the beginning of the end for Microsoft and other application developers. We think about it differently. Read on »

The Web is making a shift once again and it’s going to be great. Within the next few years there will be an incredible growth in mobile phone Internet usage. Cheap tariffs and larger screens will lead the way in this revolution and it will be another significant change in what has already been an incredible few decades.

What this change means for business owners is that websites will become twice as relevant as they are now. What was once restricted to being accessed sitting down at a desk will be more prominent than newspapers and billboards. Read on »
