Development Services
Visual Online Data is dedicated to the design and development of high performance browser based application software.
If you are considering the development or implementation of browser based software, or simply want to understand the many benefits of online application technology, let us put our many years of experience to work for you!
We will help you determine if browser based software is right for you. If so, we will work with you determine your project specifications. All development costs and time required will be fully disclosed from the beginning and specified in your "Project Scope Document" (see below).
Your project will be available on our demo site so that you can watch the development process as it occurs. You will be able to monitor progress and make suggestions throughout the development cycle.
We will modify the Visual Inventory software to suit your exact requirements.
NOTE: Modification of the software (no matter how trivial) will void the 90 warranty and all other stated or implied software guarantees. Custom logos, branding, or colors are considered modifications because they require that the software be maintained separately from the production version. Before considering ANY change, please contact us to determine the effect this will have on your guarantee.
Project Scope Document
This process usually follows these basic steps:
- We will determine the exact details of your required modifications.
- We will write a "Project Scope" document that specifies exactly what we are going to do for you, how much it will cost and when it will be completed.
- When you approve the Project Scope. we will develop a "prototype" application. Although the prototype will not have all of the required functionality, it will have the completed user interface. The prototype serves as a template for the final version.
- When you approve the prototype application, we will proceed with the final version will include all required functionality as detailed in the Project Scope.
Payment of fees
- We will require pre-payment for development of the Project Scope document. The amount of this fee will depend upon the complexity of the project and is not part of the project development fee.
- Once the project scope is approved, we will require 50% of the project fee. The exact amount of the project fee will be detailed in the scope document.
- Upon approval of the prototype, the balance of the project fee will be required.
Custom Programming
If you have a requirement for custom software, let us put our knowledge and experience to work for you.
We will assist you with the entire development cycle:
- Consulting: Years of experience in the field of software engineering will enable us to help you isolate and refine your requirements list.
- Design: Our software engineers will work with you to develop a system design that will provide efficient and cost effective solutions.
- Implementation: Once we have developed the design requirements for your project, our programmers will go to work to create your solution. You will know in advance what the costs will be and how long it will take to complete the project. There will be no hidden costs or surprises.
- Testing: We provide extremely thorough testing and debugging prior to delivery of the application
Web Site Design
We specialize in data-driven web sites employing the latest technology to achieve state-of-the art functionality and security.
Web site development follows the same process as outlined above.
This site was created with Macromedia Dreamweaver MX and connects to an SQL Server database using Microsoft ASP.NET.

Hourly Rates
Normally, software development is quoted by the project rather than by the hour. Generally, it is very difficult to precisely determine the amount of time required to complete a project. Nevertheless, when it is possible to quote development based on the amount of time required, these rates apply:
- Standard Rate ($60/hour). This rate is applied if the project is scheduled normally.
- Priority Rate ($90/hour). This rate is applied when a project is scheduled for immediate development during normal business hours.
- Emergency Rate: ($120/hour) This rate is applied when a project is scheduled for immediate development and work continues until completion.
