hesketh.com is here to help you when your specialized needs are not being met by an off-the-shelf software solution. We transform your goals into measurable results by:

  1. Asking the right questions: What should it do for your audience? What could it do for employees and for vendors?
  2. Developing custom applications;
  3. Integrating third-party applications; and
  4. Leveraging our internally-developed frameworks and tools.

And you'll never find us pushing a technology because it's the latest over-hyped product or because we'd like to test something new on your project. Our approach is to follow careful analysis of user needs, user expectations, user behaviors, and organizational goals with practical implementation that is informed by industry experience.

To provide longevity and extensibility to your applications, we advocate using open software platforms, standards, and products, unless a feasibility assessment suggests a different approach. Throughout the application development process, we emphasize:

  1. Rigorous requirements definition;
  2. Implementation informed by user experience design;
  3. Appropriate use of technology; and
  4. Respect of your time and budget constraints.

Compatibility & Integration

Concerned about whether the applications we develop will fit in with your existing site and internal systems? We applaud that holistic mindset. Sure, we believe that some environments offer advantages over others. But we have yet to encounter a program or platform that we couldn't master. See some of the ones we've tamed.
