HeliumDesigns is at its best when we are turning your ideas into reality, and our development services do exactly that. Whether what you need is some fresh eyes on an existing project, or something built from the ground up, we've got you covered.
Development services include:
- Troubleshooting Existing Programs
- Consultation on External Development
- Custom Software Development
- Customization of Open-Source Platforms (Joomla, Wordpress, etc.)
- Integration of Two Unrelated Programs (Such as Seperate Billing and Sales Programs)
- Template Production of Existing Designs
- Much more...
Currently HeliumDesigns offers only web development services, (meaning no desktop development). However, many companies are finding that moving certain desktop applications onto a website provides many benefits to their business and employees. The fact that you have a desktop application now doesn't mean it has to stay that way.
We work primarily with PHP and MySQL, although it is possible to work with many languages which are familiar on web servers (such as PERL), and many different databases as well (such as PostGre or LDAP).
We quote custom prices for each project, however our target development rate is about $75 per development hour, and many simple projects come in under $300.

ClickRemodel
This project involved the construction and installation of a simple directory program to manage and display directory based information.
GivSmart
This project involved creating a custom Joomla component to manage pick-ups and allow the company to keep track of both donations and non-profit organizations.
Portland Erotic
An ongoing project which involved integrating logins for the forum and main site, adding a search function, adding comments and ratings, and many other special features to this custome code.

CICR Columbia
This was a Joomla site which involved templating a pre-made design, installing the CMS software, creating custom modules and components, and installing/modifying existing modules and components.
aSwankAffair: Reunions
This was a Joomla site that required completely custom back-end code to support the unique goals of the client. These goals included items such as the ability to send pre-registration information via US Mail, and the ability to manage multiple separate communities.
Portland Dental Community
This was a Joomla site where templating was required. Many custom scripts were required, including an XML parser for the weather and date information the header uses, and a custom organizer for the bookmarks.

InspiraWorks
This was a Joomla site centered around a unique navigation technique that required heavy reworking of the Joomla framework. Most of the site had to be custom built on top of Joomla.
Amber Hotel Company
This site involved no front-end work. Instead, HeliumDesigns investigated and cleaned up errors in the custom CMS the previous developer left behind. Despite the fact that the software used for this site was developed from the ground up, HeliumDesigns was able to diagnose, seek out and fix all the errors the client listed, coming in both under budget and ahead of schedule.
