Caktus Services

Have an idea for a web app?

If you have an idea, we can make it a reality. We build custom, database-enabled web applications with clean, intuitive user interfaces and a robust, reliable backend. Dynamic content that you can maintain and edit. A rich foundation of open source and proprietary software that ensures your site gets off the ground quickly and for minimal cost. Functional, accessible navigation with a little Web 2.0 flourish.

For more information or to start discussing your idea, get in touch with us today. We'd love to sit down with you and create something truly incredible.

Technologies We Use (and why we use them)

  • Python and Django
  • PostgreSQL
  • HTML and CSS
  • JavaScript and a number of AJAX libraries (such as Prototype, MooTools, and jQuery)

Not looking for all that?

We've got you covered. We can help you build a simple site that captures what you do and conveys your message on the web. First, you'll work with one of our designers to agree on a look and feel for your online presence. Then, we'll build an elegant, intuitive web site out of that and get you started creating content.

“When I engaged Caktus to develop my new website I knew they were technologically savvy. But they surprised me with their design skills. I was very pleased with the feel of my site. Their open architecture approach for client updates is also a very attractive feature. ”

“We have contracted with Caktus for a few different projects and we were always pleased with both the results and easy interaction with the Caktus staff. In order to keep our clients happy we need to focus on cost and quality. The Caktus folks understood our needs and worked with us to create software solutions that work as designed without breaking the bank. ”
