Custom Coldfusion Programming and Web Design Services

What is Coldfusion?

ColdFusion is a programming language that enables a web page to communicate with a database. It lets a programmer create dynamic web pages on the fly that differ depending on user input, database lookups, time of day or whatever other criteria you require. ColdFusion pages consist of standard HTML, together with CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language) "CFQUERY", "CFIF" and "CFLOOP". ColdFusion was create by Allaire in 1996, acquired by Macromedia in a merger in April 2001, and bought out by Adobe in December 2005. ColdFusion is now stronger than ever with

In a ColdFusion application you can introduce an incredible range of functionality that is not available either in static web page. It gives you the ability to control the behavior of your applications, integrate a database, and dynamically generate the content that is returned to the web browser.

When a page in a ColdFusion application is requested by a browser, it is automatically pre-processed by the ColdFusion Application Server which interacts with other server technologies and then dynamically generates an HTML page which is returned to the browser.

The Advantages of Using Coldfusion

Simply put, Coldfusion has a sticker price of (at this moment) $1,399 to purchase a license and install on your web server. But on average it takes 30% less time to develop a medium sized application in Coldfusion than other programming languages like PHP or ASP. If you multiply this by only 3 projects you have already made your money back in savings when compared to paying a PHP programmer by the hour to create the same functionality and you've only just begun. Speed of development is the key with Coldfusion over other programming languages. Coldfusion can do the same exact thing as PHP or ASP only faster.
