Services

We build websites of any size, colour and configuration. We can offer you a site on a modern, convenient, widely-used platform such as WordPress or Drupal — or build it on some less known engine. It depends on your goals and the capabilities you need.

We extend your site with everything online trade requires. Depending on the volume of your products we can offer an online store on Magento, Drupal, WordPress or another popular platform. Integration with other platforms, links to accounting software and banks, keeping your customers safe on your site — that is just a small part of what we do well.

There is no limit to perfection. We don’t do over-optimization or pump artificial traffic into your sites. But we can make a site work significantly faster, look better to search engines and rise naturally in their results. Improvements are possible in everything — security, usability, better navigation or design, for example.

Development is rarely cheap. One way to make it more affordable is well-thought-out code with flexibility and universality built in. Some of our work we are ready to share — not only between our own projects, but in open source too. Using a hack-resistant framework, together with carefully integrated, time-proven in-house solutions, lets us achieve good quality without inflated prices.

Building systems from scratch through the full development cycle is the core of what we do. Custom builds have many advantages — and a few drawbacks you should know about in advance. We will help prepare your project for development, adjust the architecture and interfaces, and make it safe and reliable. For different requirements we pick the components that fit the specific task best. It can be written in C, Node or Python — most often in PHP with the time-tested frameworks Symfony and Laravel.

An experienced administrator of virtual and dedicated servers will help sort out the problem, suggest improvements, and find and close security holes.

For BlackCrystal clients only: we offer hosting of the site we built for you on Radicenter servers at a big discount. You get the most powerful hosting package for little money, and the site stays under the watchful eye of our specialist, receiving timely updates and maintenance.

Data can be very expensive; it needs integrity checks and protection. In some cases, by law or company policy, data must be stored in specific geographic locations and technical conditions. We carry out all the necessary procedures for checking and protecting databases, and for safe transport and synchronization.

We can help select the right equipment for your network, configure, protect and maintain it.

Over the years in this field we have accumulated a huge number of mini-projects related to data collection. There is quick topical scraping from a known source, and there is the long hunt to “find something that satisfies the conditions”. Smart technical solutions, result verification and work control let us avoid overloading the sources and duplicating requests.

Normalization, deduplication, combination, computation and analysis of data is in some cases possible with small sacrifices — most likely we will take that into account. Where serious resources are needed, we set up Hadoop with the right applications, graph or NoSQL databases, and organize stream processing.

Scanning and text recognition, semi-automatic and automatic data entry with classification and mathematical analysis.

No one is insured against losses; backups make life substantially easier in this regard. If you are reading this point and sighing, we deeply sympathize with your situation. Data on damaged hard drives most often turns out to be lost forever, but accidentally deleted files and folders have a chance to be saved. That chance drops with every attempt to access the data — so call 911 right away and do not power on the damaged device.
