Database / Application Development

Potomac appreciates your concerns about technology – particularly software, application and database development. When technology works properly, your business can thrive. When poorly built or improperly deployed, it can bring productivity to a stop with potentially high costs to get back up and running. To get the right software and database solution most appropriate for your business, you need someone who will listen to you, build what you need in an understandable way and stand by the quality of the solution.

Usability & Accessibility Heuristic Review

Many sites do not effectively interact with their users. Confusing navigation, cluttered content arrangement, too many graphics and so many other problems can impact how well your site is received. Potomac can perform a review to determine how well it interacts with guests, and provide you recommendations on what you can do to improve performance.

Just as many sites unintentionally alienate their guests being inaccessible. From bandwidth issues to an inability for handicapped users to read your content, accessibility issues can make a well designed site incomprehensible to the blind or disabled. Potomac can perform an accessibility review, using W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) or Section 508 standards, and provide guidance on how to improve the construction to allow access to those you have inadvertently prevented.
