Our business principles:
Engineering Driven
Venture Web Consulting is a firm run by engineers. We work very hard to specify and deliver software for our customers,
and we don't take on projects that we don't have a reasonable idea as to how long they will take, or how they will be developed.
Maintainable Software
One of the key trade-offs in software production is between reusability of code and initial development time. Some people are very adamant
about the idea that "You aren't going to need it", whereas others are very heavily focused on building
code which can be used and reused in many contexts.. At Venture Web, we take a middle of the road approach,
recognizing that being completely wrong is about as rare as being completely correct. We use best-of-breed open source technolgies
that support the construction of maintanable websites. We build useful reusable library code as a seperate process from meeting customer needs, and always
stay focused on getting the job done with the tools at hand when on assignment.
Principles over Personalities
Building software is an intricate process requiring very detailed coordination amongst engineers. It is very important that
communication regarding software development decisions be based in facts, and not in fashion
or personal politics. One might argue strongly that it is impossible to ever have
all the facts relevant to a technical decision before doing some development. There is a lot of truth to that position.
However, we feel that it is best to make a serious effort to acquire
as many solid facts as possible, and base decision making processes on sound engineering principles, and not the personalities of the participants.
