Depending on your budget and what the goals are for your particular project, we typically perform all of the scripting, database integrations, and ecommerce setups. Sometimes we suggest outsourcing options, sometimes not. It just depends on your individual situation. Building a custom website can be a very complicated task and a very time consuming one depending on what is required for the frontend and the backend. There are new programming languages that seem to be born on a daily basis, so instead of writing a long paragraph on it, or listing all the languages we've written in, it's easier just to point you to our client website designs, so you can see what we're capable of.
